Method of Detecting Circulating Cell-Free HPV 6 and 11 DNA in Patients Afflicted With Diseases Caused by Chronic HPV 6 or 11 Infection and Use Thereof

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) seek research co-development partners and/or licensees for commercial development of a novel liquid biopsy diagnostic for non-invasive detection of cell-free HPV 6 and 11 DNA for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Activators for the Treatment of Cancer

NIH investigators have discovered a series of small compounds with the potential to treat a variety of cancers as well as hemolytic anemia. Contrary to most cancer medications, these molecules can be non-toxic to normal cells because they target a protein specific to the metabolic pathways in tumors, thus representing a significant clinical advantage over less-specific chemotherapeutics.

Clinical Advancements in Intracellular Pathogen Infection Treatment through CD47 Blockade for Augmented Phagocytic Clearance

The technology described involves a groundbreaking method for treating intracellular pathogen infections by targeting CD47, a widely expressed transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a ligand for phagocytic receptors. By administering agents that inhibit CD47 binding to these receptors, the approach enhances the phagocytic removal of infected cells, leading to increased clearance of intracellular pathogens.
