Polymeric Nanoparticle-Based Antibiofilm Therapy
This invention provides a novel therapeutic platform to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial and biofilm infections using engineered polymeric nanoparticles. The polymeric nanoparticles can penetrate and eradicate pre-formed bacterial biofilms while maintaining high therapeutic indices. The nanoparticles are formed via self-assembly of engineered synthetic polymers in aqueous solutions, without the need to use any organic solvent or purification procedures.

An Ex Vivo Method of Generating Super Regulatory T Cells as a Cell-based Therapy for the Prevention of Graft-vs-Host Disease
Regulatory T cells maintain immunological tolerance and dampen inflammatory responses. Administering regulatory T cells can prevent the immune-mediated tissue destruction of graft-versus-host disease, which frequently accompanies hematopoietic stem cell transfer. This technology provides a simple and effective method to generate and expand a unique population of stable and highly suppressive regulatory T cells, which can be used as a cell-based therapy for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease.
