Inhibition of Exosome Secretion in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This invention is a new anti-cancer peptide for treatment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). This new peptide-based therapeutic focuses on blocking of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and SNX1. In addition, this peptide blocks the secretion of harmful exosomes that further cancer cell metastasis and modulate the immune environment. Background:...

A Diagnostic to Determine Sensitivity to Pharmaceutical Oxytocin and Risk of Postpartum Blood Loss based on Genetic and/or Epigenetic Factors

This invention is for a genetic polymorphism test for assessing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and consequently the need for pharmacological oxytocin. This novel test uses a blood or saliva sample to identify key epigenetic variants linked to oxytocin receptor gene function, ultimately allowing for assessment of responsiveness to the medication. Background:...
