S100A4 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Cancer metastasis are responsible for ~90% of cancer associated deaths. Recent studies suggest that immune cells play critical roles in promoting metastasis, especially myeloid cells from the bone marrow. UTHealth researchers, with researchers from The Methodist Hospital, observed a highly conserved expression of S100A4 in immune suppressive myeloid...

LILRB2 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Uses of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a key regulatory role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by controlling microglia activation and metabolic activities in brain tissues. TREM2 signaling inhibition is mediated by leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2). UTHealth inventors created and engineered...

Novel Channelrhodopsins for Optogenetics Gene Therapy (CCRs and KCRs)

When expressed in targeted neurons, light-sensitive channelrhodopsin proteins (ChRs) have the ability to selectively manipulate neuronal activity in a light-dependent manner. Kalium (potassium)-conducting channelrhodopsins (KCRs) have the potential for optogenetic applications and as therapeutic agents for electrically active cell mediated disorders,...

Monoclonal Antibodies Against PCDH7 for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. UTHealth researchers discovered that the cell surface protein Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) is highly expressed in NSCLC and promotes lung cancer development. Inventors at UTH in collaboration with Dr. O’Donnell’s group at UTSW have discovered a panel...

Monoclonal antibodies against human endotrophin for therapeutic and diagnostic use.

Background Studies have shown that endotrophin, the carboxy-terminal cleavage product of the COL6α3 chain, has potent effects on transformed mammary ductal epithelial cells in rodents. It is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and is a chemoattractant for macrophages, exerts effects on endothelial cells and enhances the progression through...

Monoclonal Antibodies Binding to Transferrin Receptor (TfR) for Therapeutic Protein Delivery across Blood-Brain Barrier

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits brain entry and is one of the major hurdles in developing antibody and protein-based therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. UTHealth researchers identified and engineered monoclonal antibodies binding to transferrin receptor (TfR) but not affecting transferrin (Tf) binding to TfR. An engineered monovalent...

TREM2 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a key regulatory role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by controlling microglia activation and metabolic activities in brain tissues. Previous studies in rodent models of AD have shown that mice with increased TREM2 expression have reduced amyloid pathology. UTHealth inventors created and...

Identifying and characterizing genes whose perturbation leads to intracranial aneurysms (IA) and/or vascular endothelial cell dysfunction

The proposed invention involves identification and characterization of molecular targets for treating intracranial aneurysms. A focus is endothelial podosomes regulated by the transmembrane receptor protein THSD1. THSD1 also regulates autophagy processes that contribute to aneurysm formation as well as positively regulates TGFβ signaling, which...
