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...

Biomimetic Anti-Inflammatory Membrane for Chronic Wound Healing
The invention is a collagen membrane functionalized with mannose for the treatment of chronic wounds. Due to its mannose coating, this membrane is able to induce the polarization of macrophages to an anti-inflammatory state, resulting in less overall inflammation during wound repair. Stage of Development In vitro data: Membrane synthesis and characterization...

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...
