  • Patent number: 11766427
    Abstract: The present invention relates to agents and compositions for the modification of the growth of bacterial cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease in a subject. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of repurposing pharmaceutical compounds for treatment strategies of infectious diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, inflammatory diseases, proliferative diseases, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and immunological diseases. Some of the compounds of the present invention demonstrate high specificity in inhibiting the growth of single bacterial species. Such compounds enable narrow-spectrum antibacterial therapies, constituting a major effort of current and future drug development strategies in order to reduce side effects of antibacterial treatment plans.

  • Publication number: 20220091122
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and methods useful for the detection and treatment of disorders associated with frameshift mutations in coding microsatellite regions. The compounds and methods are applicable in cancers, especially of DNA mismatch repair deficient (MMR) sporadic tumors and HNPCC associated tumors. The compounds are useful for detection of disorders and in therapy such as immuno-therapy. The diagnostic methods relate to diagnosis and prognostic assessment of disorders associated with frameshift polypeptides originating from frameshift mutations in coding microsatellite regions of genes based on the detection of immunological entities directed against said frameshift polypeptides in body fluids.

  • Publication number: 20200370005
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an in-vitro model of thehuman gut microbiome, the model comprising a culture of the gut microbiome, wherein the model has a cumulative enzymatic coverage of more than 85% of the gut microbiome of a healthy human. The model facilitates metabolic modeling and enables a better understanding of the structure and function of the human gut microbiome as well as of modifications of xenobiotics by intrinsic gut microbiota, such as biotransformation and bioaccumulation. It can further be used to study the effects of variations in nutritional conditions. Importantly, the invention can also be used for diagnosing a disease, such as a gastrointestinal disorder,a proliferative disease, a metabolic disorder, a cardiovascular disease, an immunological disease, and an infectious disease.

  • Publication number: 20040265803
    Abstract: The invention relates to genes comprising coding mononucleotide microsatellites (cMNR) or dinucleotide microsatellites (cDNR). The genes can be isolated from MSI+ tumour cells. Said genes differ from corresponding genes from non-MSI+ (tumour) cells by mutations in the cMNR or cDNR and code for gene products including neopeptides. The invention also relates to the use of the genes and their gene products for the prevention, diagnosis and/or therapy of MSI+ tumours.
