  • Patent number: 10919929
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses the recognition that reproducible and detectable changes in the level and or activity of Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) are associated with incidence and/or risk of Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and/or doubly resistant prostate cancer, specifically in individuals having prostate cancer and on antiandrogen therapy, and provides for the use of GR inhibitors to treat and/or reduce risk of CRPC and/or doubly resistant prostate cancer. In some embodiments, GR inhibitors also have Androgen Receptor (AR) inhibitory activity or are administered in conjunction with AR inhibitors. The present invention also provides technologies for identification and/or characterization of agents to treat and/or reduce risk of CRPC and/or doubly resistant prostate cancer; in some embodiments such agents alter level and/or activity of a GR. In some embodiments, provided agents show effects on a GR's activity of regulating transcription of one or more target genes.

  • Patent number: 10844436
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of prognosing, treating, or managing treatment of cancer in a subject. These methods involve selecting a subject having cancer, obtaining, from the selected subject, a sample containing exosomes, recovering the exosomes from the sample, and isolating the double-stranded DNA from within the exosomes. The isolated double-stranded DNA is then used to detect the presence or absence of one or more genetic mutations associated with cancer, quantify the amount of isolated double-stranded DNA from the recovered exosomes in the sample, detect the methylation status of the isolated double-stranded DNA, or quantify the amount isolated double-stranded DNA able to enter a recipient cell. The prognosing, treating, or managing treatment is carried out based on this information.

  • Patent number: 10820986
    Abstract: An ocular prosthesis includes a display device visible at an anterior portion of the ocular prosthesis. The display device is configured to present a changeable image that represents a natural appearance and movement for a visible portion of an eyeball of a subject. A system includes, besides the ocular prosthesis, an implant marker configured to move with an orbital implant disposed in an eye socket of a subject. A method includes determining a change in orientation of an orbital implant in a subject and determining an update to a natural appearance for a visible portion of an eyeball for the subject based on the change in orientation of the orbital implant. The method also includes rendering an update to an image of the natural appearance for a display device disposed in an ocular prosthesis configured to be inserted in the subject anterior to the orbital implant.

  • Patent number: 10548997
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorescent silica-based nanoparticle that allows for precise detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment of a disease such as cancer. The nanoparticle has a range of diameters including between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, between about 0.5 nm and about 50 nm, between about 1 nm and about 25 nm, between about 1 nm and about 15 nm, or between about 1 nm and about 8 nm. The nanoparticle has a fluorescent compound positioned within the nanoparticle, and has greater brightness and fluorescent quantum yield than the free fluorescent compound. The nanoparticle also exhibits high biostability and biocompatibility. To facilitate efficient urinary excretion of the nanoparticle, it may be coated with an organic polymer, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The small size of the nanoparticle, the silica base and the organic polymer coating minimizes the toxicity of the nanoparticle when administered in vivo.
