  • Patent number: 11300566
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a brain injury in a subject by comparing the amount of ADAM10 protein in a blood sample from the subject to a reference standard or to the amount of ADAM10 in a blood sample from a control. An increase in the amount of ADAM10 in the subject blood sample relative to the reference standard or control is indicative of the subject having sustained a brain injury, in particular a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present disclosure also provides novel antibody and antibody fragments that bind to ADAM10 at different positions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: University of Saskatchewan
    Inventors: Changiz Taghibiglou, Nathan Pham, Landon Pastushok, Clarence Ronald Geyer
  • Patent number: 11117939
    Abstract: The present application provides compositions, methods, and uses of polypeptide or antibody inhibitors of insig-1 ubiquitination for preventing or treating skin diseases or conditions associated with overproduction of sebum, such as acne and seborrhea.
    Type: Grant
