Inhibition of BMI1 Eliminated Cancer Stem Cells and Activates Antitumor Immunity (UCLA Case No. 2020-858)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Dentistry discovered that targeting BMI1in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be a viable immune checkpoint to inhibit metastatic tumor growth, and prevent tumor relapse through activation of cell-intrinsic immunity and purging cancer stem cells (CSCs). BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells are cancer...

Profiling Chemically Modified DNA/RNA Units for Disease and Cancer Diagnosis
Diagnose a wide variety of conditions by analyzing DNA and RNA nucleotides/nucleosides. Background: In theory, RNA and DNA can be used to diagnose a broad range of diseases. Unfortunately, there are no existing technologies capable of providing comprehensive profiles of variant DNA/RNA components. Established approaches for the analysis/detection of...
