A Gene Knockout Mouse Model to Study Lung Disease and a Lung Disease Drug Target
Our researchers have created a gene knockout mouse model that lacks the cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV-2 in order to study the gene’s effects on controlling asthma. Background & Unmeet Need: Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways that affects 155 million people of all ages worldwide. Cytochome c oxidase (CcO) is a multi-subunit...

Inhibitors of the ubiquitin E3 ligase BCA2 as anti-cancer therapeutic agents
Background:Breast cancer associated protein 2 (BCA2) is a ubiquitin E3 ligase found in invasive breast cancer. Studies have shown that by decreasing its activity, breast cancer cell growth and invasiveness are diminished. Targeting this ligase and inhibiting its activity could play a role in treatment of breast cancer. A molecular approach to inhibiting...

Modified Ectodomain of Human EGFR as a Potential Anticancer Agent
Development of a protein that attenuates EGFR and/or EGFR family members and is comprised of a modified EGFR ectodomain. The protein inhibits signaling via the EGFR and/or EGFR family members. The protein includes a portion of the EGFR (or EGFR family member) and the "U" region epitope of EGFR related protein (ERRP), wherein the portion of...
