Human IPSC-Based Drug Testing Platform for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Unmet NeedThe development of new drugs is a capital and time intensive process. For this reason, the development of orphan drugs for those diseases that affect a small subset of the population. One of such diseases, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects 1 in 5000 boys worldwide and has no known cure. Current drug screen platforms include animal...

Soluble Form of Activin Type IIB Receptor (ACVR2B/Fc)

Invention Novelty: This technology identifies the use of soluble receptor (ACVR2B/Fc) to block the activities of members of the TGF-beta superfamily of signaling molecules.Value Proposition:Myostatin is a member of the TGF-β family; it suppresses muscle growth and its absence stimulates muscle growth substantially. Most of the myostatin inhibitors...

C05182: Novel Protein Increases Muscle Mass

Technical Details: Muscle mass is normally regulated by the activities of members of the transforming growth factor-B (TGF-B) superfamily, which act to limit muscle growth. Scientists at JHU have now found a protein that is capable of binding certain members of the TGF-B family and inhibiting their activities in vitro. Therefore this protein has important...
