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...

Targeting Interleukin 17 and Senescent Cells for Treatment of the Foreign Body Response

Unmet Need13 million medical devices are implanted annually in the United States. Synthetic biomaterials are the building blocks of these implanted devices. Although biomaterials are selected for durability and minimal host immune response, all implanted biomaterials induce the foreign body response (FBR) to some degree, which creates a capsule of fibrous...
