A method to induce ferroptosis and to downregulate androgen receptor/androgen receptor splice variant in prostate cancer cells

Prostate cancer (PCa) effects approximately three million men in the United States every year. About 10-20% of the cases of prostate cancer are castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This form of PCa is highly resistant to what Is known as androgen depletion therapy and is often fatal. All types of PCa are sensitive to androgen receptor signaling...

Fc-folate conjugate for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer

Approximately 13% of women in the United States will develop breast cancer according to the American Cancer Society. That makes breast cancer the second leading cause of cancer death in women right behind lung cancer. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents about 10 – 20% of all breast cancers. Triple negative refers to cancer cells...

Ultra-Specific and Ultra-Sensitive Platform for Highly-Reliable and High-Precision SARS-CoV-2 Detection

Background:The technology described is based on the use of two unique sets of detection molecules that are specific to a protein contained in the viral shell of SARS CoV-2 and Covid-19 that is unique from other known common cold causing coronaviruses. The proposed system uses two different fluorescent probes for two different regions of the viral shell...

Microfluidic platforms for live-cell imaging and bio/pathomimetic tissue models

Background:Methodologies to image and quantify tissue models using high-content analysis (HCI) and functional analyses of 3D avatars are needed as such avatars better recapitulate the phenotype of pathobiological processes and better predict efficacy of, and resistance to, a wide variety of therapies. Furthermore, changes in morphometry, viability,...

Using nanotechnology to target aggressive cancers with a novel small molecule inhibitor of the DNA damage tolerance pathway

Background: Nanotechnology is emerging as a promising tool to target cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are preferentially taken up by cancer cells when injected into the blood stream and their safety has been demonstrated in human clinical trials. WSU researchers have designed a unique nanoparticle conjugate that combines a GNP with a small molecule...

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...

Anti-Cancer Activity of a 2,5-Substituted Pyrimidine

This technology is a novel class of compounds that induce apoptosis in cancerous cells. BackgroundARR molecules (adamantyl-substituted retinoid-related) are a unique class of compounds which have been found to induce apoptosis, or cell death, in a large number of tumor types. SHP plays a role in cellular proliferation. Molecules that Interfere with...

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...

Activated T Cells and Activated T Cells Armed with BiSpecific Antibodies Directed at Cancer Antigens are Poor Responders to Alloantigens May Help Engraftment and Improve Anti-Tumor Effects

BackgroundThe treatment of hematologic malignancies with allogeneic stem cell transplant is limited by the numbers of allogeneic donors. Umbilical cord blood stem transplants have been an important alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells. However, failure or delayed engraftment remains the critical barrier to the success of the transplants....
