  • Patent number: 10451609
    Abstract: A novel omega-3 fatty acid/lipid based nutraceutical composition and a method of optimizing said omega-3 fatty acid/lipid based nutraceutical composition. The nutraceutical composition and method is based on the insight that different forms of high omega-3 fatty acid lipids (e.g. triglyceride form, ethyl ester form, free fatty acid form, phospholipid form) have different molecular modes and levels of action. Specifically the phospholipid form is likely more effective at promoting membrane fluidity and permeability, while the free fatty acid form is likely more effective at regulating cell receptors, such as the PPARa receptors, that are responsible for various metabolic effects including lipid metabolism. The desirability of producing omega-3 compositions that may act synergistically and thus more robustly to improve health and to some extent mimic markers of life extension such as shown by caloric restriction, along with specific optimization methods, markers, and compositions are taught.

  • Patent number: 10400285
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for determining the likelihood that a subject suffering from a cancer will benefit from treatment with a MEK inhibitor. It also relates to methods of treatment based on such determination. The invention is based, at least in part, on the discoveries that DDX43 mRNA and protein are expressed at high levels in biopsies from “non-responder” UM patients and that selumetinib-resistant cell lines showed high DDX43 expression which correlated with increased expression and activity of RAS. It was found that KRAS and HRAS but not NRAS, mediated expression of pERK and pAKT, bypassing oncogenic GNAQ. The invention is further based on the discovery that selumetinib-resistant cells became sensitive to AKT inhibition, suggesting alternative strategies for the treatment of cancer patients with acquired resistance to MEK inhibitors.
