Neutrophil Subsets for the Treatment of Cancer

THE CHALLENGE Developing a cancer immunotherapy platform that can effectively and safely leverage the complex role of neutrophils—an abundant, yet highly variable, type of innate immune cell continues to prove challenging. Unlike current therapies that primarily target the adaptive immune system, an approach that must navigate the dual nature...

Programmed Innate Leukocytes as Potent Therapeutic Agents to Treat Atherosclerosis and Stroke

This invention discloses a novel strategy to reprogram either allogenic or heterologous peripheral blood neutrophils and/or monocytes with a selective compound in vitro, into a homeostatic state that is conducive for healing of coronary heart disease and/or stroke. Reprogrammed monocytes and/or neutrophils can be used through i.v. injection into human...

Enhanced Anti-Tumor Immune State

Challenge Similar to vaccines, traditional immunotherapies target specific epitopes of cancerous cells. While several immunotherapies offer several benefits over other alternatives, immunotherapies are not very effective because of several reasons. Given that microbes/cells have similar epitopes and that tumors mutate, therapy may not work in all cases...

Method for 3D Nonlinear Structured Illumination Super-resolution Imaging

Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a super-resolution microscopy method that is faster, easier to use, and has less artifacts than current super-resolution methods. The result is a 3D dual-color stimulated emission depletion (STED) nonlinear structured illumination (NL-SIM) microscope. Using a combination of low coherent light and...
