A synergistic chemotherapy and radiotherapy drug delivery technology for treating prostate cancer tumors

A synergistic chemotherapy and radiotherapy drug delivery technology for treating prostate cancer tumors

Unmet Need Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest manifestations of cancer in clinical oncology. Despite accounting for only 3.2% of all cancer cases, it is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. National Comprehensive…

Dual agonist proteins for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Dual agonist proteins for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Unmet Need Over 37 million people in the United States have diabetes, and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes and its related complications not only cause premature mortality and lower quality…

Anti-cancer therapeutic for the induction of apoptosis in solid tumors via TRAIL receptors

Anti-cancer therapeutic for the induction of apoptosis in solid tumors via TRAIL receptors

Unmet Need Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL, CD253) acts as an activator of apoptosis in many tumor cells, while remaining innocuous to normal cells. Both membrane-bound and soluble forms of TRAIL can trigger apoptosis…

Enzymatic synthesis of aptamer-targeted polynucleotide drug delivery platforms for cancer therapy

Enzymatic synthesis of aptamer-targeted polynucleotide drug delivery platforms for cancer therapy

Unmet Need In the United States alone, over 1.8 million new patients were diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and over 600,000 patients died from the disease. Cytostatic nucleotides, such as gemcitabine and 5-fluorouracil, have been…

A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery

A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery

Unmet Need Delivery of drugs or therapeutics such as small molecules, peptides, and proteins, in their native form, is limited by their poor stability, low solubility, and short in vivo circulation. These challenges in drug…

A method for treating TRAIL-resistant cancers

A method for treating TRAIL-resistant cancers

Unmet Need Over the past twenty years, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to kill a variety of human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo while remaining innocuous to healthy cells. Unfortunately, the…

A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo

A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo

Unmet Need Delivery and therapeutic efficacy of small molecule imaging agents and chemotherapeutics are hampered by their short half-life, low solubility, non-selectivity to cancer cells, and toxic side effects. Small molecule chemotherapeutics, although in routine…

A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin

A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin

Unmet Need Small molecule cancer drugs often suffer from poor systemic exposure, resulting from their low water solubility and short plasma half-life. Additionally, the off-target toxicity is the main challenge that undermines efficacy. Nanoparticle drug…

A rod-like nanoparticle drug delivery system for hydrophilic small molecules

A rod-like nanoparticle drug delivery system for hydrophilic small molecules

Unmet Need New strategies to load small molecule drugs into nanoparticles are a powerful approach to improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutics, and this has been a successful strategy for overcoming the limitations of poor…

Thermally-responsive elastin-like peptides for improving the efficacy of anticancer agents

Thermally-responsive elastin-like peptides for improving the efficacy of anticancer agents

Unmet Need The goal of chemotherapy is to deliver an anticancer agent, typically a small molecule, at a high dose to a tumor to kill rapidly proliferating tumor cells. Unfortunately, the maximum dose of many…

Genetically encoded hybrid biomaterials that are thermally responsive and tunable

Genetically encoded hybrid biomaterials that are thermally responsive and tunable

Unmet Need Developing new biomaterials is an active area of research, with applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug-delivery. In particular, protein- and peptide-based materials are attractive candidates for these applications because of their…
