Inhibition of BMI1 Eliminated Cancer Stem Cells and Activates Antitumor Immunity (UCLA Case No. 2020-858)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Dentistry discovered that targeting BMI1in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be a viable immune checkpoint to inhibit metastatic tumor growth, and prevent tumor relapse through activation of cell-intrinsic immunity and purging cancer stem cells (CSCs). BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells are cancer...

Method for Combined Conditioning and Chemoselection in a Single Cycle (UCLA Case No. 2011-478)

SUMMARY: Researchers at UCLA have developed a highly-efficient technique to engraft and select hematopoietic stem cells directly inside a patient. The invention will improve the fidelity of stem cell transplantations and reduce toxic side effects on patients. BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a mainstay of treatment for...

Targeted Epigenetic Editing as Novel Therapy for Malignant Glioma (UCLA Case No. 2023-047)

UCLA Researchers in the Department of Neurology/Neuro-Oncology and the David Geffen School of Medicine have developed methods for the Cas9-CRISPR mediated epigenetic targeting of malignant glioma, and which results in enhanced chemosensitivity to standard chemotherapeutic agents. BACKGROUND: Malignant gliomas are aggressive brain tumors originating...
