Prognostic for Lymphoproliferative Disorders

— Technology Description

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed an improved method to monitor the progression of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) and guide treatment decisions. LPDs, including leukemia and lymphoma, are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of blo…

Stem cells that produce decorin

— Using CRISPR-based gene editing, decorin was inserted downstream of Smad7 to create autoregulated stem cells that can produce decorin. As Smad7 is activated during TGF-beta signaling, the stems cells produce decorin in response to TGF-beta. Decorin is a key modulator of extracellular matrix assembly…

Compound to treat alcohol use disorder
