Sihem Cheloufi 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).

  • Publication number: 20240102010
    Abstract: Provided is an improved design of shRNA based on structural mimics of miR-451 precursors. These miR-451 shRNA mimics are channeled through a novel small RNA biogenesis pathway, require AGO2 catalysis and are processed by Drosha but are independent of DICER processing. This miRNA pathway feeds active elements only into Ago2 because of its unique catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that this newly identified small RNA biogenesis pathway can be exploited in vivo to produce active molecules.

  • Patent number: 10329562
    Abstract: Provided is an improved design of shRNA based on structural mimics of miR-451 precursors. These miR-451 shRNA mimics are channeled through a novel small RNA biogenesis pathway, require AGO2 catalysis and are processed by Drosha but are independent of DICER processing. This miRNA pathway feeds active elements only into Agog because of its unique catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that this newly identified small RNA biogenesis pathway can be exploited in vivo to produce active molecules.

  • Publication number: 20180327745
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for performing cellular reprogramming that include treatment of somatic cells with an inhibitor of CAF-1, Sumo2, Nutd21, or combinations thereof prior to or during a reprogramming procedure. Such inhibitors can improve both the speed and efficiency of cellular reprogramming. Inhibitors of the CAF-1 complex can also be used in the treatment of cancer.
