Adam Houghton has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Gene associated with bone disorders
    Publication number: 20050037454
    Abstract: The present invention relates to identifying genes that are differentially regulated or expressed in bone deposition disorders. Specifically, a novel gene has been identified as being differentially regulated during the maturation of osteoblasts and whose expression can be correlated, for example, with bone deposition disorders such as osteoporosis (including correlation with degrees of severity of the disease).
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 5, 2002
    Publication date: February 17, 2005
    Inventors: Neelam Jaiswal, Adam Houghton, Lawrence Mertz, Darren Ji, Jonathan Cook, Douglas Axelrod
  • Treatment of bone disorders by modulation of fgfr3
    Publication number: 20040109850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to identifying genes that are differentially regulated or expressed in bone deposition disorders. Specifically, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-3 (FGFR3) has been identified as being differentially regulated during the maturation of osteoblasts and whose expression can be correlated, for example, with bone deposition disorders such as osteoporosis (including correlation with degrees of severity of the disease).
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 15, 2003
    Publication date: June 10, 2004

  • Gene expression profiles associated with osteoblast differentiation
    Publication number: 20040101818
    Abstract: The present invention identifies genes whose expression pattern is altered when precursor stem cells undergo differentiation into osteoblasts. The genes identified may be used as markers for the differentiation process. The present invention also provides methods to screen agents that are capable of modulating the differentiation process. The present invention also provides methods of identifying therapeutic agents that stimulate bone information by analyzing the expression of one or more of the genes identified.
