  • Publication number: 20230375551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting prostate cancer, methods for reliable prostate cancer grading, methods for determining the progression of prostate cancer, methods for defining advanced prostate cancer, and methods for treating prostate cancer patients based on the detection of biomarkers. In particular, the present disclosure is based on the determination that a combination of three specific endosomal biomarkers can be used to detect prostate cancer and/or determine the degree of progression of such cancer in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20220213143
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of immunomodulation. Taught herein is an agent for inhibiting immunostimulation mediated by a Toll-like receptor useful in the treatment of viral and microbial pathogenesis, diseases involving elements of autoimmunity and inflammation as well as cancer. The agent antagonizes disulfide bond formation between C98 and C475 of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) thereby preventing TLR7 activation. Pharmaceutical compositions are also enabled herein.
