Isothiocyanate-Containing Gel for Use Against Skin Cancer Alone or in Combination With Other Therapies
Novel treatment for skin cancer using a naturally-occurring compound Background: Approximately one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Most will develop non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), and the incidence of NMSC may increase by an estimated 50% by 2030, despite growing public awareness of the harmful effects of...

Structural, Biochemical, and Functional Analyses of CED-9 Recognition by the Proapoptotic Protein EGL-1
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is an essential process in the development and homeostasis of all multi-cellular organisms such as humans. Suppression of programmed cell death is a contributing reason for a range of human diseases such as cancer. Thus finding a strategy to specifically down-regulate the functions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL is important...

Compositions and Methods for Regulating Intramembrane Proteases
Princeton University Invention # 07-2348 Intramembrane proteolysis is a widely conserved regulatory mechanism in species ranging from bacteria to humans. The first description of intramembrane proteolysis came from the investigation of cholesterol homeostasis, where the ER membrane-bound transcriptional factor SREBP must be cleaved by an...

Soluble, Functional Apoptotic Protease-Activating Factor-1 Fragments
Princeton University Invention # 05-2166 Apoptosis or programmed cell death is an essential process in the development and homeostasis of humans. Abnormal inhibition of apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer and autoimmune diseases, whereas excessive activation of cell death is implicated in neuro-degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer¿s...
