  • Patent number: 11819578
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and method for delivery, e.g., sustained delivery of active agents, and their use for the treatment of diseases or disorders.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 7, 2022
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2023
    Assignees: Trustees of Boston University, The General Hospital Corporation
    Inventors: Eric M. Bressler, Sarah Adams, Yolonda Colson, Mark W. Grinstaff, Wilson Wai Chun Wong
  • Publication number: 20230279406
    Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to inducible and repressible polypeptides and polypeptide systems. In particular, described herein are split sequence-specific nucleases and split recombinases that are linked to drug-inducible or drug-repressible dimerization domains. In some embodiments, the polypeptides comprise sequestering domains and/or have their expression controlled by an inducible promoter. In multiple aspects described herein are polynucleotides, vectors, cells, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said polypeptides or polypeptide systems. Also described herein are methods of using said polypeptide systems to modulate the expression of a target polypeptide or to treat a subject in need of a cell therapy.
    Type: Application

    Applicant: TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Wilson Wai Chun WONG, Yage DING
  • Publication number: 20230159600
    Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to regulated synthetic gene expression systems. In one aspect described herein are synthetic transcription factors (synTFs) comprising a DNA binding domain, a transcriptional effector domain, and a regulator protein. In other aspects described herein are gene expression systems comprising said synTFs and methods of treating diseases and disorders using said synTFs.
