Urine-Based Diagnostics for Prostate Cancer (UCLA Case No. 2023-302)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Human Genetics have developed a urine-based method for non-invasive prostate cancer diagnosis. By quantifying secreted and extracellular vesicles proteomes from urine, they identified protein biomarkers that enable accurate diagnosis and risk stratification of prostate cancer, outperforming the current PSA test. BACKGROUND:...

Immortalized Mouse Epididymal Epithelial Cell Lines
SummaryThese cell lines are useful for studying the regulation of tissue-specific gene expression, and may also be used to identify epididymal-specific transcription factors involved in expression of specific proteins in the epididymis. Four cell lines are available, including PC1 from proximal caput, and the DC1, DC2, and DC3 cell lines from the distal...

Biomarker for the Detection and Monitoring of Bladder Cancer
The inventors have developed a biomarker application based on thromboxane receptor β (TPβ), which identifies patients with various stages of bladder cancers (invasive, superficial, or metastatic). TPβ proteins are overexpressed in common bladder tumor tissue but not normal human cells. Human urine samples of patients positive for various...
