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...

Beclin 2-Functionalized Therapies for Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disease and Cancer
This invention identified that Beclin 2 functions as a negative regulator of the ERK1/2 signaling, NF-κB signaling, and inflammasome activation. Furthermore, these studies demonstrated that Beclin 2 targets key signalling kinases for degradation through an ATG9A-dependent autophagic pathway. These new findings have uncovered an important role...

Glycolytic Modulators for Therapeutic Regulation of Cell Fate
This invention is a glycolysis enhancement strategy using glycolytic modulators to improve cell fate transitions. Applied topically, systemically, or in combination with a biocompatible scaffold, the glycolytic enhancers are expected to improve wound healing, vascularity, and tissue regeneration as well as reduce fibrosis. In another application, a...

SREBP2 Inhibitors for Treating T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This invention is a method of inhibiting sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) in order to treat, prevent, reverse, and/or ameliorate conditions associated with an improper number of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). SREBP22 is traditionally known as a transcription factor that plays a role in cholesterol homeostasis. However,...
