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…
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…
Transgenic zebrafish to direct epicardial gene expression
Technology Duke inventors have generated a novel zebrafish model that allows researchers to study epicardial cells during embryonic heart development and myocardial regeneration. This zebrafish line is termed Tg(tcf21:CreER)pd42. Specifically, this transgenic model was created…
iPSC line to identify novel therapies for ARVC
Technology Duke inventors have developed a novel induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line that contains a mutation that impacts the TAX1BP3 gene, which causes arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC). Specifically, the iPSCs were derived from…
Olfactory neuroblastoma mouse model
Unmet Need Olfactory neuroblasoma (ONB) is an agressive tumor that is thought to arise in basal stem cells in the adult olfactory epithelium. This rare cancer affects 1 in 2.5 million people each year with…
Human B2-adrenergic receptor CHW cell line
Technology Duke inventors have generated a chinese hamster fibroblast cell line that expresses the human β2–adrenegic receptor.
Method for the in vitro differentiation of human dendritic cells from hematopoietic stem cells for research and immunotherapy development
Unmet Need Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the adaptive immune response by capturing and presenting antigens to activate cytotoxic T-cells. As such, naturally occurring DCs are thought to have crucial antitumor activity…
Methods and formulation to improve cellular survival of thawing after cryopreservation
Unmet Need Cryopreservation is the main method of long-term storage and transport of living cells, and it is used for cell lines and patient samples such as stem cells, CAR-T cells, bone marrow, cord blood,…
Methods and compositions for treating protein aggregation diseases
Unmet Need Neurodegenerative disease affects more than 50 million people per year. Certain neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, result from the accumulation of amyloid-forming proteins in the brain, which results in cognitive impairment and has…
Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier
Unmet Need The earliest form of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is diagnosed in almost 50,000 people in the U.S. each year. DCIS is considered noninvasive, as abnormal cells have not spread out…
Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation
Unmet Need Epigenome editors activate or inhibit gene expression without modifying the underlying DNA sequence. Consequently, these editors can reversibly fine-tune gene expression without the risk of permanently altering the genome or off-target editing. Epigenome…
A robust and sensitive assay for simultaneous measurement of transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, and cis-regulatory chromatin contacts
Unmet Need Cis-regulatory elements (cREs) of the genome are non-coding regions that play essential roles in regulating gene expression in development and disease. Importantly, these regions are characterized by the presence of “open” chromatin and…
