ABSTRACT The objective of this STTR proposal is to reformulate a promising PEG aptamer rapid onset anticoagulant ROA by applying a novel PEG like POEGMA polymer brush technology capable of eliminating anti PEG antigenicity The importance of this proposal is highlighted by the early termination of a recent Phase III clinical trial of the original PEG aptamer conjugate in which severe allergic ...

Abstract We propose to initiate preclinical development of a gene therapeutic targeted to Alzheimer's Disease. The World Health Organization's and Alzheimer's Disease International's report on Dementia (2012) recognizes that the global burden of AlzheimerDisease is forecast to worsen significantly with prevalence predicted to double every 20 years. Interventions that could prov ...

The ciliopathies are a group of andgt overlapping clinical disorders caused by defects in the primary cilium and its anchoring structure the basal body Although individually rare this group contributes significantly to the population genetic disease burden with some estimates placing their combined incidence to as much as Importantly although some ciliopathies are lethal most pat ...

Project Summary Genome editing technologies such CRISPR Cas provide a rapid and targeted means of both knocking out gene expression and knocking in gene modifications However the current workflow required for CRISPR cell line generation relies on several technologies which reduce throughput efficiency and the overall viability of genome edited cells Cell Microsystems has developed a single ...

PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT Persistent disease activity PDA in spite of anti vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF therapy remains a significant clinical unmet need for patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration NVAMD The purpose of this STTR Phase I grant application is to develop novel therapies that will be effective for the treatment of PDA associated with NVAMD The cu ...

Project Summary Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is recognized as the single most important viral cause of acute respiratory disease in infants and young children worldwide. Elderly populations and immunocompromised individuals are also at significant risk for serious RSV disease. Despite this very substantial disease burden imposed by RSV worldwide, there are no vaccines available. Severa ...
