Treatment Of Fibrosis With Genetically-Engineered Macrophages

View page
US Patent:
20210100837, Apr 8, 2021
Filed:
Dec 14, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/733201
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
Yingming ZHAO - Chicago IL, US
Jianfeng DU - Chicago IL, US
Xiaoyang WU - Chicago IL, US
Jiping YUE - Chicago IL, US
Lev BECKER - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
A61K 35/15
A61P 19/04
C07K 14/705
C12N 9/64
Abstract:
Provided herein are macrophages engineered for treating fibrosis and ameliorating the effects of fibrotic lesions in various organs and tissues. Certain embodiments are directed to genetically-engineered macrophages capable of treating fibrosis or reducing fibrotic lesions. In certain aspects macrophages can be genetically-engineered to (1) target extracelluar matrix (ECM) or components thereof, (2) enhance degradation of ECM, or (3) target ECM and enhance degradation of ECM. Further provided is a cellular therapy product comprising a genetically-engineered macrophage comprising at least one of a recombinant targeting protein and a recombinant catalytic enzyme. Further provided is a method of treating an individual for fibrosis comprising administering the cellular therapy product.

View page
US Patent:
20180040077, Feb 8, 2018
Filed:
Oct 5, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/726081
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
LEV BECKER - CHICAGO IL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 50/00
Abstract:
Technologies are provided for correlating experimental biological datasets. The disclosed technologies may be used for data dependent socialization for life scientists and organizations. Data dependent socialization may be based on statistical correlations between experimental life science data.

System And Method For Determining Social Connections Based On Experimental Life Sciences Data

View page
US Patent:
20140372434, Dec 18, 2014
Filed:
Jun 17, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/306520
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Lev BECKER - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06Q 50/00
US Classification:
707736
Abstract:
Technologies are provided for data dependent socialization for life scientists and organizations. Data dependent socialization may be based on statistical correlations between experimental life science data. A service may provide individuals with an interface for providing experimental data, and the service may generate a visual connection report representing potential connections for collaboration.
