Lipid Nanoparticles as Oral Vehicles of Immunotherapy

Unmet NeedType 1 diabetes (T1D) affects 1.25 million Americans currently and by 2050, this number is expected to reach 5 million. Though a currently untreatable autoimmune disease, one of the more promising approaches has been a costimulatory blockade of malfunctioning immune cells via administration of CTLA4-Ig. However, its efficacy is impeded by...

An ECL-based Autoantibody Assay for Early Diagnosis of T1D Using a Membrane-spanning ZnT8 Antigenic Domain

Unmet NeedApproximately 1.25 million people in the US have type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the rates of newly diagnosed cases in children are on the rise each year. T1D is caused by the development of an autoimmune reaction to pancreatic β cells. The first detectable sign of β cell autoimmunity is the appearance of diabetes-associated autoantibodies, which...

Treatment of Post-menopausal Obesity and Associated Disease by PDE9 Inhibitors

Unmet NeedObesity is a serious health problem both globally and in the United States. Obesity is associated with numerous comorbidities including type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancers. In particular, obesity is commonly seen in the post-menopausal population as 74% of American women over the age of 60 are considered overweight....

Non-invasive Diagnostic Biomarker for Pancreatic Islet Populations

Unmet NeedAffecting more than 230 million people worldwide, diabetes is a chronic disease caused by a deficiency and/or resistance to insulin. Insulin production is controlled by the pancreas, specifically by the pancreatic islets, a region of the pancreas that contains the hormone-producing cells. The pancreatic islets are made up of at least 5 different...

Hepatic Kisspeptin Secretion Impairs Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic Bets Cell. Kisspeptin Receptor GPR54 Antagonist for Treatment of Prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus in Humans.

Unmet NeedGlucagon and insulin work together to keep blood glucose levels balanced. Glucagon stimulates the liver to secrete glucose while insulin suppresses glucose release. If the body does not regulate glucose levels properly, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will develop. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a world-wide epidemic, projected to affect 1/3...

Methods and Kits for Identifying Autoreactive Lymphocytes in Type 1 Diabetes and Other Autoimmune Disease

Unmet NeedAutoreactive lymphocytes contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). One of the challenges in studying these populations of lymphocytes, also known as X- cells, is that there are no biomarkers to distinguish them from protective T cells and B...

Supramolecular Hydrogel Applications to the Carotid Bodies to Treat Hypertension and Sleep Apnea in Obesity

Unmet NeedOver one-third of adults in the U.S. (36.5%) have obesity. Further, obesity leads to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality via multiple adverse mechanisms that include increased prevalence and severity of hypertension (often resistant to treatment) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Currently, no pharmacotherapy exists for OSA....
