METHOD OF ENHANCING MIR-185 EXPRESSION TO REDUCE LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN/CHOLESTEROL ACCUMULATION IN A CELL

The present invention provides a method of quantifying miR-185 as a potential biomarker in lipid disorder or cardiovascular diseases in human. The present invention also provides a method of modulating miR-185 in regulating LDL and cholesterol metabolism in cells. The present invention has therapeutic potential in the treatment of cholesterol/LDL related cardiovascular diseases in humans.

Methods for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer
20180010194 · 2018-01-11 ·

The present invention relates to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, in particular to a salivary mi RNA for use in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

NOVEL PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

METHOD OF IDENTIFYING AND TREATING A PERSON HAVING A PREDISPOSITION TO OR AFFLICTED WITH A CARDIOMETABOLIC DISEASE

The invention relates to method for identifying and selecting a subject with increased risk of developing a cardiometabolic disease and optionally, providing a personalized medicine method, which may involve sequencing at least part of a genome of one or more cells in a blood sample of the subject and identifying from said sequencing one or more mutations in one or more somatic mutations.

Biomarkers for cancer immunotherapy outcomes

Provided herein, inter alia, are improved methods and systems of determining immunotherapy response in subjects prior and during treatment. Provided herein are methods of detecting gene expression in T cells and in monocytes as well as measuring relative abundance of particular immune cell populations and determining responsiveness to anticancer immunotherapy.

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING, DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, DETECTION, AND TREATMENT OF CANCER
20180010195 · 2018-01-11 ·

The present invention relates to the field of cancer and inflammation, and in particular methods of monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, detecting, treating and preventing cancer and inflammation conditions. The use of composition comprises method of monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and detecting cancer and inflammation with EN2 and/or SATB2 expression and/or activity. The pharmaceutical composition will further comprise agents that inhibit EN2 and/or SATB2 expression or activity.

METHODS AND BIOMARKERS FOR DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS

The present invention relates to methods and biomarkers for detection and characterization of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in biological samples (e.g., tissue samples, blood samples, plasma samples, cell samples, serum samples). In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for diagnosing a patient as having a Langerhans cell histiocytosis by identifying mutations in the MAP2K1 gene or gene products.

Biomarkers for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The present invention provides a method of assessing whether an individual is at high risk or low risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) progression by determining the expression level of two or more genes in a whole blood sample. Also provided are methods for treating IBD in an individual who is determined to be at high risk or low risk for IBD progression, and kits for assessing whether an individual is at high risk or low risk for IBD progression. Arrays, and methods of providing arrays, of patient-identified selected gene expression products from a whole blood sample of a patient are also provided.

Therapeutic and diagnostic methods for IL-33-mediated disorders

The invention relates to methods of treating a patient suffering from an IL-33-mediated disorder, such as asthma, comprising administering to the patient an IL-33 axis binding antagonist based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene, the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2. The invention further relates to methods of determining whether a patient is at increased risk of an IL-33-mediated disorder, as well as methods of determining whether a patient suffering from such a disorder is likely to respond to a treatment comprising an IL-33 axis binding antagonist, based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2.

Lipid abnormalities and association with atopic allergic diseases

The present invention is related to novel methods for identifying a population of subjects that are at risk for developing of atopic allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, and to the prevention and treatment of these allergic diseases.
