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...

2011-896 Protein Biomarkers for Immune Assessment and Prediction of Transplant Rejection

Background Current diagnostic methods of renal allograft rejection are neither sensitive, nor specific. Needle biopsies are invasive and associated with patient morbidity. It is thus desirable to develop noninvasive tests to predict and diagnose rejection. Innovation UCLA researchers have identified a number of proteins present in human plasma associated...

2012-292 Organ Resuscitation Solution & System for Enhanced Liver Transplantation

Summary Background Liver organs suffer a tremendous degree of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) during transplantation. The injury stems from the interruption of blood flow and depletion of nutrients to the organ in the period between donor organ procurement, preservation and transplantation into the recipient. Cell injury or death and metabolic...
