20130216545 | Early Diagnosis and Novel Treatment of Cancer - The present invention relates to novel therapies for treatment and new biomarkers for earlier detection of pancreatic and other cancers. In particular, the present invention identifies Reg1α and Reg3α, and other members of the Reg protein family, as signaling proteins for a receptor on the surface of human cancer cells, Megi, and the downstream pathways activated through this receptor in pancreatic and other tumor cells. These signaling proteins may be targeted by means known in the art to disrupt the downstream signaling pathway that catalyzes tumorigenesis, by the usage of antibodies, antisense, RNA interference, small molecule inhibitors and vaccines. | 08-22-2013 |
20140120064 | GENERATION OF NEW PANCREATIC BETA CELLS - The present invention relates to novel therapies for treatment of new and existing type 1 and type 2 diabetes, PreDiabetes, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood, and diseases of insulin deficiency, beta cell deficiency, insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. In particular, the present invention identifies common peptides within the human Reg1a, Reg1b, Reg3a and Reg4, as signaling peptides for beta cell generation acting through the human Reg Receptor on the surface of human pancreatic extra-islet tissue. This invention identifies a specific binding region of the Reg Receptor from which peptidomimetics and stimulating antibodies have been developed for the generation of new beta cells which may be administered directly to patients with said conditions including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, PreDiabetes and other conditions of beta cell deficiency, and provides specific methodology for protecting new beta cells generated for usage in type 1 diabetes and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood. This invention also provides for ex-vivo generation and delivery of beta cells utilizing the inventions described within. | 05-01-2014 |

20140234264 | INSULIN INDEPENDENCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIABETES UTILIZING A PPI IN COMBINATION WITH AN IMMUNE TOLERANCE AGENT - To date, no immune tolerance agent or combination of immune tolerance agents has been able to sustain insulin-independence among type 1 diabetes patients. This patent provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for providing insulin independence among newly diagnosed and existing type 1 diabetes. Methods include utilization of PPIs, which increase gastrin resulting in the transformation of human ductal tissue into insulin-secreting new beta cells, used in combination with an immune tolerance agent to protect the new insulin-producing beta cells generated by the PPI from immune destruction. Compositions and methods are provided for beta cell generation therapy comprising at least one member from a group of PPIs with formulations selected from immune tolerance agents, when used in combination result in insulin-independence among new and existing type 1 patients whom currently require insulin to sustain life. Compositions and methods are provided for insulin-independence among type 2 patients using PPIs when combined with therapeutic agents utilized for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. | 08-21-2014 |
