  • Patent number: 12285427
    Abstract: This invention establishes a new paradigm for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) by eliminating senescent cells that reside in or around the site of the disease pathophysiology. Exposure of test subjects to the herbicide paraquat (PQ) increases the risk for developing Parkinson's disease. The data in this disclosure show that PQ induces a senescence arrest and SASP in astrocytes, in culture and in vivo in mice, and senescent cell markers were present in astrocytes in midbrain tissue from PD patients. In a transgenic mouse model, senescent cell ablation protected against PQ-induced PD-like neuropathology. Removal of senescent cells from affected sites using small molecule agents that specifically target senescent cells can help prevent or ameliorate signs and symptoms of the disease.

  • Publication number: 20250093356
    Abstract: Scoring functions for predicting response of a dMMR and/or MSI-H colorectal tumor to a PD-1 axis-directed therapy are disclosed, as well as methods and systems for evaluating tissue samples for the presence of feature metrics useful in computing such scoring functions. The scoring functions integrate one or more spatial relationships between cell types into a numerical indication of the likelihood that the tumor will respond to the PD-1 axis-directed therapy. Based on the output of the scoring function, a subject may then be selected to receive a PD-1 axis-directed therapy (if the scoring function indicates a sufficient likelihood of positive response) or an alternative therapy (if the scoring function indicates an insufficient likelihood of positive response).
