Targeted delivery of gene therapy for cardiac reprogramming with enhanced efficacy
Unmet Need Cardiac injury results in irreversible and permanent loss of cardiomyocytes, leading to heart failure with ~40% mortality within 4 years from diagnosis. It has been shown that directly reprogramming scar fibroblasts into new…
Methods and compositions to sense m6A RNA modifications using a genetically encoded sensor
Unmet Need Gene expression is highly regulated through the addition of chemical modifications to RNA molecules. One such modification is methylation of adenosine residues to form m6A, a modified nucleotide which is found in thousands…
Therapy for neurotensin positive cancers
Unmet Need Under normal conditions, neurotensin signaling is largely constrained to the nervous system. However, abnormal expression is seen in cancers that are aggressive or have a poor prognosis such as pancreatic, which has a12.5%…
Adoptive T-cell immunotherapy to treat cancer caused by Epstein-Barr virus
Unmet Need Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an infectious disease that has been shown to cause a number of cancers originating from EBV-afflicted cells. Across the globe, EBV is associated with approximately 200,000 cases of malignancies…
Anti-LYPD3 CAR T-cell therapy for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma
Unmet Need Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy, has proven highly effective against blood cancers such as leukemias and lymphomas. This therapy uses T-cells that are genetically engineering ex vivo to…
A steerable and adjustable shock wave generator for kidney stone treatment
Unmet Need Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure used to break down kidney stones too big to pass through the urethra. This relies on electromagnetic or electrohydraulic waves passed from a tabletop machine through a patient’s…
A microscopy method for acquiring polarization-sensitive phase information in 3D
Unmet Need The majority of biological research and clinical diagnostics has involved the use of optical imaging systems for transparent specimens that rely on scalar properties like phase contrast. These systems have proved useful for…
Extracellular vesicle biomarkers for detecting severity and progression of knee osteoarthritis
Unmet Need Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease that can impact the hands, knees, neck, lower back, and hips, leading to pain and restrictive mobility from the breakdown of connective tissue in these…
A computer vision approach for molecular subtyping of breast cancer using MRI
Unmet Need Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in American women and the fourth most common cause of all cancer-related deaths in the U.S. While early screening for cancer using magnetic…
Transcriptional alterations during blood storage to monitor stored red cells and reduce storage-lesions
Unmet Need Currently, red blood cell (RBC) testing focuses on factors such as hemoglobin content, RBC count, blood typing, and antibody content. These tests, though comprehensive, do not measure the health and quality of RBCs.…
ECG rhythm database
Invention Summary Duke inventors have developed a database of digital 12- lead ECG samples that represent key rhythms of cardiac disorders. Each patient’s disorder was validated by a licensed and board-certified cardiovascular medicine physician to…
A highly sensitive next-generation sequencing technique for detecting cancerous mutations
Unmet Need Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have been widely adopted for both biological discovery and diagnostics in cancer patient care. In particular, the identification of new mutations or groups thereof arising within oncogenic pathways across…
