Repurposing H1 and H2 antihistamines for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria
Invention Summary:
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a severe genetic disorder caused by defects in heme biosynthesis, leading to the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PP-IX) in the liver. This accumulation results in cholestasis and, in the most severe cases, end-stage liver failure, necessitating liver transplantation or leading to...

Microglia Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases
Human Microglia
Invention Summary:
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) accounts for over 60% of dementia cases in people over 65. Individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) are at higher risk for AD and myeloid leukemia due to somatic mutations in hematopoietic cells. Interestingly, some DS individuals with AD neuropathology do not experience cognitive...

MYC Program as a biomarker of response to treatment with Enzalutamide
Invention Summary:
Administration of Enzalutamide has been shown to improve patient survival overall, yet patients respond differently to the drug with nearly half either not responding or developing resistance over time. Unfortunately, patients that fail Enzalutamide treatment are left with no targeted therapeutic option, and progress to...
