LVAD Plug
Description of Invention
Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) are a promising alternative to cardiac transplantation in patients in patients with end stage heart failure. These devices are implanted as a bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery and as a destination therapy. The potential of cardiac recovery after using such mechanical support...

Modulating the AIBP-CAV1-VEGFR3 axis to treat lymphatic disorders
This invention is a method of promoting lymphangiogenesis in order to treat lymphatic disorders, namely lymphedema and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). VEGFC-induced VEGFR3 signaling is the major driver of lymphangiogenesis, however the distinct molecular mechanisms determining how VEGFR3 signaling controls lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) fate remains...

Apoliprotein-B Functionalized Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery to Atherosclerotic Plaques
This invention is a proteolipid nanoparticle platform functionalized with apolipoprotein B-100 for localized delivery of therapeutic compounds to atherosclerotic plaques, termed aposomes. Apolipoprotein B-100 is a crucial functional and structural component of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) and therefore plays a critical role in cholesterol transport...
