Jung-Joon SUNG 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: 11891604
    Abstract: The present invention relates to use of miR-18b for prevention, treatment, or diagnosis of muscle diseases or neuromuscular diseases, and specifically it was confirmed that, in a muscle disease by gene mutations model, gene mutations reduce miR-18b expression, cause dysregulation of miR-18b signaling pathways, and thus induce calcium signaling, cell differentiation inhibition, and apoptosis. Therefore, miR-18b of the present invention may be used as a target factor for diagnosing and treating muscle diseases caused by gene mutations such as ALS and DMD.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11850288
    Abstract: A gene and cell therapy using a cell fusion technology is proposed. Cells overexpressing hemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins have effects of enhancing cell fusion with other cells, restoring cell damage through the cell fusion with damaged cells, and transferring a normal gene. Therefore, when a vector including genes encoding the HN and F proteins of the present invention or a cell transformed with the vector is clinically applied to neurodegenerative diseases, muscular diseases, and the like, an effect of reducing the damage of damaged cells through cell fusion can be expected.
