Hydrogel-Nanoparticle System for Localized Therapeutic Cocktail Delivery in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC)

Unmet Need: Systemic delivery of drugs often leads to faster clearance, off-target effects, and system-wide unintended toxicity. Current therapeutics designed to specifically target invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) have a narrow therapeutic index, lack predictive biomarkers, and have serious side effects due to off-target toxicity. This lack of efficacy...

Thymosin-based Peptides for Non-invasive Cancer Detection and Targeted Delivery

Unmet Need:Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the US. In 2017, for every 100,000 women, 125 new Female Breast Cancer cases were reported and 20 women died of breast cancer (see CDC, 2020). Currently, mammography is the primary screening approach for breast cancer with limitations such as occult disease as well as breast tissue...

Methylation Markers that Provide Molecular Diagnosis by Distinguishing Between Benign from Malignant Breast Cancer and Predict Risk

Unmet NeedBreast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in low and middle income countries (LMICs), and is expected to increase in incidence due to longer life expectancies, decreased burden of infectious diseases, and changes in reproductive risk factors. In LMICs, breast cancer mortality rates are as high...

Novel selective, covalent inhibitors of DNA polymerase beta, and synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cancer

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors are known synthetic lethal partners for breast cancer gene (BRCA) 1- and 2-deficient cancers. However, not all BRCA-deficient cancers are susceptible to PARP1 inhibitors and others develop resistance. Furthermore, DNA polymerase beta is overexpressed in many cancers, decreasing...

Novel Biomarker for Breast Cancer Detection Outcome and Treatment Sensitization to Nucleolin and CDK Inhibitors

Unmet Need: Despite widespread research efforts, breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. There is an urgent need to identify novel biomarkers and treatment strategies against aggressive forms of breast cancer to improve prognosis and therapy. Technical Details: Johns Hopkins researchers have identified a novel biomarker...

Breast Biopsy Needle Guide

Unmet NeedAround 250,000 patients are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and overall, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In order for proper diagnosis, biopsies must be performed, usually requiring minor, open surgery. The procedures commence with needle localization, where the radiologist inserts a needle into the...

Engineered Fibroblasts as Cell Therapy to Treat Cancer via Tumor Stroma Stabilization

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Carcinoma associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are associated with the development of high-grade malignancies of poor prognoses, as they facilitate cancer invasion and hinder anti-cancer drug delivery. In order to improve the long-term survival rate of pre-metastatic cancer patients, we report genetically engineered fibroblasts...

GATA3 wild type MCF-7 breast cancer cells GATA3 D336fs*17 mutant CAMA1 breast cancer cells

Unmet NeedMutations in the transcription factor-encoding gene GATA3 are highly prevalent in breast cancer but the functional role of mutant GATA3 in malignancy remains unclear due in part to the absence of appropriate research tools. Human breast cancer cell lines with mutant and wild-type GATA3, including MCF-7 and CAMA1, respectively, are commercially...
