Pharmacological Inhibition of PD-L1 as an Antagonist of Skin Damage and Cancer in response to Acute and Chronic Solar UV Exposure and Other Environmental Toxicants
This innovation is the development of a pharmacological inhibitor of PD-L1 to prevent or reduce the negative impact of acute and chronic solar UV exposure and environmental toxicants on the skin. PD-L1 is a molecule involved in immune regulation and can be upregulated in response to UV radiation and environmental toxins. However, overexpression of PD-L1...

Natural Treatment for Ventilation Induced Lung Injury
This invention is the use of bixin, a NRF2 inducer, to reduce lung damage caused by mechanical ventilation. Bixin was found to suppress inflammatory mediators, reduce alveolar capillary leakage, and protect against DNA oxidative damage. Background: Mechanical ventilation is used to assist patients who have difficulty breathing spontaneously in conditions...
