  • Patent number: 10675326
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and materials for killing and/or inhibiting the growth of a cancer cell via preferential entry of a cytotoxic compound. Preferential entry of the cytotoxic compound is accomplished by the use of protein transduction domains derived from cupredoxins, including the p18 and p28 truncations of azurin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2020
    Inventors: Brad N. Taylor, Rajeshwari Mehta, Tohru Yamada, Craig Beattie, Tapas Das Gupta
  • Patent number: 10351605
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods comprising chemopreventive agents that may be cupredoxin(s) or variants, derivatives and structural equivalents of cupredoxins, and at least one other chemopreventive agent. Specifically, these compositions may comprise azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or the 50-77 residue region of azurin (p28). The compositions of the invention may be used to prevent or inhibit the development of premalignant lesions in mammalian cells, tissues and animals, and thus prevent cancer.

  • Publication number: 20170138053
    Abstract: The present invention provides an inverted roofing system and method that is more thermally efficient, inexpensive and quicker to install, better able to withstand environmental conditions, and produces the appearance and some functional benefits of a traditional natural green roof ballast top-layer. It does not require a sloped roof gradient, and is capable of a user controlled mass per square foot roof load. The inverted roofing system and method provides a ballast top-layer that is lightweight, and maintains properties that will prevent wind uplift.
