Anssi Jussi Nikolai Taipale 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).

  • Patent number: 9440988
    Abstract: The present invention makes available, inter alia, methods and reagents for modulating smoothened-dependent pathway activation. In certain embodiments, the subject methods can be used to counteract the phenotypic effects of unwanted activation of a hedgehog pathway, such as resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function mutations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2016
    Assignee: John Hopkins University School of Medicine
    Inventors: Philip A. Beachy, James K. Chen, Anssi Jussi Nikolai Taipale

  • Publication number: 20100069386
    Abstract: The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting form hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity. Such methods and reagents may also inhibit the hedgehog pathway in normal cells, e.g., where normal levels of hedgehog signalling are unwanted.
