Silencing of PRLΔE1 expression: a gene-agnostic treatment for retinal degenerations
Viral vector-mediated gene silencing of a novel short retinal isoform of Prolactin promotes photoreceptor survival. Problem: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and inherited retinal degeneration (IRDs) have extreme mutational heterogeneity, and many IRDs are orphan diseases. Developing individual gene therapies for each causative gene is impractical...

Topical LSD1 Inhibition for Treating Skin Diseases
Topical LSD1 inhibition can treat skin diseases that include cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), actinic keratoses, and viral warts. Problem: Current treatment options (i.e. cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgery, chemotherapy) for skin diseases such as cSCC, actinic keratoses, and viral warts are often non-targeted and destructive, and can cause...

Accurate Blood Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis of Synovial Joint Disease in the Mucopolysaccharidoses
Ten candidate serum and synovial protein levels provide early indication of joint impairment in lysosomal storage disorders. Problem: The Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) group of lysosomal storage diseases occur once in every 25,000 births, all MPS subtypes share deficits in enzymatic degradation. Children with MPS suffer from a suite of variable and...

A method to induce ferroptosis and to downregulate androgen receptor/androgen receptor splice variant in prostate cancer cells
Prostate cancer (PCa) effects approximately three million men in the United States every year. About 10-20% of the cases of prostate cancer are castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This form of PCa is highly resistant to what Is known as androgen depletion therapy and is often fatal. All types of PCa are sensitive to androgen receptor signaling...

Therapeutic to Mitigate Epilepsy and Autism Development in Newborn Seizure Patients
Neonatal brains are at high risk for seizures due to heightened electrical activity corresponding to neural development. Though anticonvulsant drugs exist to treat the seizures immediately, certain synaptic receptors (CP-AMPARs) become highly expressed, increasing the likelihood of developing epilepsy and autism-spectrum disorders. The inventors propose...
