Mutant PDGF-B as a VEGFR inhibitor

— Technology Description

Researchers in the Imoukhuede lab at Washington University have developed a library of mutant PDGF-B proteins to develop more effective VEGF pathway inhibitors. As PDGF-B also binds to VEGF receptors, a mutant form can be used to block VEGF binding and stop tumor angiogenesi…

Interferon-gamma treatment to improve efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for AML and other cancer

— Technology Description

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered that interferon-gamma treatment could potentially prevent relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) treatment by making the cancer cells more visible to the donor immune cells. This technolog…
