  • Patent number: 10238689
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for killing persister cells with mitomycin C and/or cisplatin, or derivatives thereof. Recalcitrant infections are difficult to treat due to persister cells, a subpopulation of all bacterial populations that is highly tolerant against all traditional antibiotics since the cells are dormant and antibiotics are designed to kill growing cells. Here, we show that MMC and cisplatin eradicate persister cells through a growth-independent mechanism, cross-linking DNA. We find both agents are effective against both planktonic cultures and highly robust biofilm cultures for a broad range of bacterial species, including commensal Escherichia coli K-12 as well as pathogenic species of E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In certain approaches cisplatin is superior to MMC.

  • Patent number: 10012659
    Abstract: Methods for diagnosing or assisting in the diagnosis of iron-related pathologies are provided. The methods are based on the correlation of the degree of iron-specific hypercoagulability with clinical disease. One embodiment provides a method for diagnosing or assisting in diagnosing a subject having or suspected of having an iron-related pathology by analyzing a blood sample obtained from the subject to obtain viscoelastic parameters of the blood sample as the blood sample coagulates. A variation in the viscoelastic parameters of the blood sample relative to a blood sample from a healthy subject indicates the subject has or will likely develop an iron-related pathology. Subjects having an iron-related pathology have viscoelastic parameters that are indicative of enhanced coagulation and/or diminished fibrinolysis compared to the viscoelastic parameters of the blood sample from the healthy subject.

Controls were patients with choledocholithiasis but normal pancreata. The sample was separated into training (n=95) and validation (n=120) cohorts to establish and then test the performance of PDAC Signature Panels in diagnosing PDAC. The training cohort (n=95) included age-matched patients with CP and controls. Panels were derived from the differential expression of 10-candidate miRNA in plasma or bile.
