CD74 as a biomarker and therapeutic target for familial platelet (FPD) disorder

Summary Research at OHSU has identified the CD74 signaling cascade as a potential therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker for RUNX1-mutated familial platelet disorder (FPD), which is a premalignant condition for acute myeloid leukemia. Technology Overview Current estimates suggest as many as 18,000 people may be living with RUNX1-FPD in the United...

Nanoparticle ultrasound contrast agents with high acoustic activity

Summary Contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for low-cost minimally-invasive imaging; however, the size of typical contrast reagents prevents them from penetrating tumors thereby limiting their utility for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (theranostics). Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers have developed novel nanoparticle...

Label-free microfluidic device for cancer liquid biopsy

Summary Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive method of early cancer detection; however, circulating cancer cells are rare and difficult to detect. The current technology is a device that allows for sensitive, label-free enrichment of circulating neoplastic cells in order to facilitate the detection of cancer biomarkers from peripheral blood samples. Technology...
