Patent number: 11344575Abstract: The invention encompasses compositions and methods for effectively interfering, reducing and preventing conversion of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and circulating stem cells to osteoblastic bone-like cells, thereby reducing and/or preventing vascular calcification (VC) or calcium mineral (hydroxyapatite) deposition in the vasculature. The severity and extent of calcification in the major arteries reflect atherosclerotic plaque burden and strongly predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Summit Innovation Labs, LLCInventors: Satyanarayana Majeti, Haile Mehansho, Ghebre Egziabher Tzeghai

Patent number: 11039636Abstract: The invention encompasses compositions and methods for effectively treating and/or preventing the development and/or progression of osteoporosis and related disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and for promoting overall bone and joint health. This is accomplished by addressing multiple key mechanisms that lead to such disorders. The invention includes compositions comprising a combination of agents having biological activities that effectively suppress, regulate or interfere with the various key biochemical processes and mechanisms that increase the risk for development and/or progression of osteoporosis. The present compositions and methods simultaneously promote bone formation and reduce bone resorption by (a) stimulating osteoblast formation and osteogenesis; (b) suppressing adipocyte differentiation; (c) inhibiting osteoclast formation; and (d) increasing apoptosis of osteoclasts.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Summit Innovation Labs, LLCInventors: Ghebre Egziabher Tzeghai, Haile Mehansho, Satyanarayana Majeti
