Patent number: 12281181Abstract: The present disclosure provides a large combinatorial library of cell-permeable bicyclic peptides. The bicyclic peptides described herein include the first ring consisted of randomized peptide sequences for potential binding to a target of interest while the second ring featured a family of different cell-penetrating motifs, for both cell penetration and target binding. The library was screened against the I?B kinase ?/? (IKK?/?)-binding domain of NF-?B essential modulator (NEMO), resulting in the discovery of several cell-permeable bicyclic peptides which inhibited the NEMO-IKK? interaction, thereby selectively inhibiting canonical NF-?B signaling in mammalian cells and the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventor: Dehua Pei

Patent number: 12270053Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of “reprogramming” highly motile cells found in tumors, such as these highly motile GSC and/or MDSC clones, into “auto-destructive” cell “missiles” (referred to herein as therapeutic stealth cells) that can seek and destroy new foci of recurrence within the body, such as the brain.

Patent number: 12268471Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods utilizing an infrared probe and discriminating software to rapidly discriminate abnormal tissue processes from normal tissue during surgery, physical examination of in-situ lesions, and in the assessment of biopsy and resected tissue specimens. Examples demonstrate discrimination of cancerous from noncancerous tissues. The discriminating software, i.e. the metrics, algorithms, calibrant spectra, and decision equations, allows tissue to be identified as abnormal or normal using a minimum of infrared (IR) wavelengths in order to be measured rapidly. The probe records IR metrics approximately 1000 times faster than current commercial instruments, i.e. on a timescale fast enough for clinical use. The probe uses a tunable mid-infrared laser with a small set of selected wavelengths that are optimized for detecting the chemical and molecular signatures of tissue specific lesions to include, but not limited to, cancer, preneoplasia, intracellular accumulations (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventors: James Coe, Heather Allen, Charles Hitchcock, Edward W.

Patent number: 12266494Abstract: Electrically controlled solid-state thermal switches and methods of controlling heat flow. An electrostrictive material is electromagnetically coupled to first and second electrodes that provide an electric field to the electrostrictive material. Different portions of the electrostrictive material are thermally coupled to each of a heat sink and a thermal load so that heat flowing from one into the other passes through the electrostrictive material. A control voltage is applied to the electrodes to selectively generate the electric field, thereby selectively altering the thermal conductivity of the electrostrictive material. The heat sink and thermal load are thereby selectively thermally coupled to each other in dependence on the control voltage.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventors: Joseph P. Heremans, Brandi Wooten

Patent number: 12261647Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for delivering information to an individual, group, or device. The information is carried by audio signals beyond the audible frequency range of human hearing, but within the frequency range of an audio system. The information is modulated onto an ultrasonic frequency and embedded into an audio signal transmitted by the audio system. Each individual, group member, or device may have or be coupled to a receiver configured to receive an acoustic signal transmitted by the audio system that includes the modulated ultrasonic frequency. The receiver extracts the information from the modulated ultrasonic frequency and provides the information to the individual, group member, or device.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventors: Can Emre Koksal, Harihara Varma Indukuri
