Targeting Mitochondrial IGF-1 Receptors as Therapy for Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Neurodevelopmental brain disorders (NDDs) pose an immense burden on both the families of patients and the health and educational systems, without any effective therapies. We propose, based on our novel findings that are supported by recent clinical data, a potential gene therapy strategy that might restore the brain activity of patients to a healthy regime.

Deep Brain Stimulation of Thalamic Nucleus Reuniens as a New Therapeutic Tool to Prevent Neuronal and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s Disease
We utilize the basic concepts of control theory and an integrative approach which spans brain-state, neural circuit, synaptic and molecular levels to boost cognitive resilience to AD pathology1,2. UNMET NEED There is no efficient, disease-modifying therapy at present for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Even the most successful, recently FDA approved anti-amyloid drug lecanemab shows a great […] Read More >
Glioblastoma Regression by Regulating Astrocytes’ Immunometabolic Signaling
Malignant brain tumors are the cause of a disproportionate level of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients, an unfortunate statistic that has remained constant for decades. Despite considerable advances in the molecular characterization of these tumors, targeting the cancer cells has yet to produce significant advances in treatment OUR SOLUTIONAn alternative strategy is to target […] Read More >
Method for Isolating Oral Mucosa-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tissue and Organ Regeneration
Identification and isolation of the mesenchymal stem cells from the general population of oral mucosa-derived cells may further improve regenerative therapies. Using cutting edge technology, we’ve been able to identify the subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells with superior osteogenic capacity and furthermore, to unveil a list of unique markers to isolate these cells. Our findings […] Read More >
Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria
It is predicted that a failure to address the problem of antibiotic-resistant pathogens will result in the death of 10 million people annually, costing the economy more than 100 trillion dollars by the year 2050. In high-income countries where antibiotics are heavily used in the community and agriculture, the strong selection pressure and non-completed antibiotic […] Read More >
A METHOD FOR ENGINEERING OF PLASMID FOR ORGANISM SPECIFIC EXPRESSION
Automatic designing a plasmid such that it will be expressed only in sub-set of organisms in a microbiomes/community. Current microbiome engineering techniques are usually manually tailored for a specific system and neglect the different interactions between the new genetic information and the bacterial population, turning a blind eye to processes such as horizontal gene transfer, […] Read More >
A-Traumatic Teeth Extraction and Immediate Implant Placement
The global dental services market is expected to reach 554.5 billion USD by 2028, with dental implants dominating the market as R&D in this field continues to excel with better biomaterials, improved designs, and surface modifications. Tooth extraction is a crucial step in dental implants procedure. The standard extraction method is based on mechanical rocking […] Read More >
Therapeutic Targeting of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade by Novel Small-molecule Inhibitors
Interactions between programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) lead to the evasion of cancer cells from an efficient immune response. The inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 has prevented or reversed exhausted T cells, thus enhancing antitumor T-cell responses. In fact, immune checkpoint blockade targeting the PD-1 axis has become one […] Read More >
Leveraging Gene Panel Sequencing Data for Mutational Signature Analysis with Applications to Personalized Treatment
UNMET NEED Mutational signatures and their exposures are key to understanding the processes that shape cancer genomes with applications to diagnosis and treatment. Yet current signature analysis approaches are limited to relatively rich mutation data that comes from whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing. Recently, orders of magnitude sparser data sets from gene panel sequencing have become […] Read More >
Efficient information coding in living organisms
It is clear that DNA can be used as a storage medium, each nucleotide carrying two information bits, which can store vast amounts of data for very long periods of time and with high reliability; as overtime, humans remain human just as cats remain cats. However, it is also clear that it is a very […] Read More >
