Development of Predictive Psoriasis Response Endotypes Using Single Cell Transcriptomics

The investigators propose to improve the possibility of reaching skin resolution by identifying certain markers or gene patterns that may predict patient response to certain psoriasis drugs ahead of time, thus eliminating or reducing the trial-and-error approach often employed. The ability to rule out (or in) specific therapeutics based on …

Liver X Receptor (LXR) as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)

Results from large clinical trials demonstrate a strong association between lipid abnormalities and progression of the most common microvascular complication, diabetic retinopathy (DR). We found that activation of a master regulator of cholesterol metabolism, the nuclear hormone receptors liver X receptors (LXRα/LXRβ), prevents DR in rodent models. In this application, …

Clinical Study on the Treatment of Malignant Brain Glioma by QH104 Cell Injection

B7-H3 is expressed at low levels in normal tissues but overexpressed in various tumor tissues. The ubiquitous expression of B7-H3 in tumors of different grades is a key feature for brain gliomas. The immunohistochemistry study showed that B7-H3 is abundantly expressed on both glioma (especially high-grade glioma) cells and tumor-associated …
