Targeted Nanocarriers for Systemic Delivery of IRAK4 Inhibitors to Inflamed Tissues

Creator:: Park, Youngrong, Korzun, Tetiana, Moses, Abraham S., Singh, Prem, Levasseur, Peter R., Demessie, Ananiya A., Sharma, Kongbrailatpam Shitaljit, Morgan, Terry, Raitmayr, Constanze J., Avila, Uriel, Sabei, Fahad Y., Taratula, Olena R., Marks, Daniel L., and Taratula, Oleh
Abstract:: Persistent and uncontrolled inflammation is the root cause of various debilitating diseases. Given that interleukin-1 receptor–associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) is a critical modulator of inflammation, inhibition of its activity with selective drug molecules (IRAK4 inhibitors) represents a promising therapeutic strategy for inflammatory disorders. To exploit the full potential of this...

Development and implementation of a transkingdom network analysis pipeline to identify drivers of disease

Creator:: Newman, Nolan K.
Abstract:: The gut microbiome has been previously implemented in a number of diseases. Of note is its substantial role in metabolic syndrome, which encapsulates a group of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Understanding the causal relationships between the gut microbiome and host processes...

Detection, biosynthesis, and structural investigations of naturally occurring alkynes and other microbial metabolites

Creator:: Back, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Natural products have long been an important source of resources for humans. Many of these compounds possess unique chemical structures and potent biological properties. By targeting natural products with specific chemical properties, we can gain a better understanding of the roles these compounds play in the environment and their interactions...

Studies on the ecological functions of the antidiabetic drugs acarbose

Creator:: Tanoeyadi, Samuel
Abstract:: Natural products (a.k.a. secondary metabolites) are produced by living organisms that are not essential for their growth, development, or reproduction, but may play a role in their survival or adaptability in nature. Many secondary metabolites isolated from plants and microbes have found use as molecular probes, drug leads, or medicine...

Non-viral Vectors for Ocular Gene Delivery

Creator:: Herrera-Barerra, Marco, F.
Abstract:: Nucleic acid therapeutics has cemented itself as one of the most efficacious and robust avenues for treatment of a wide range of diseases from vaccine development to treatment of liver, retina, cancer applications. Non-viral mediated gene delivery using lipid-based nanoparticle (LNP) carriers has proven its compatibility with addressing unexpected, fast...

Drug Discovery and Chemical Ecology Investigations of Specialized Metabolism in Tolypocladium and Paraisaria

Creator:: Tehan, Richard M.
Abstract:: Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, the fungal kingdom has remained a fertile source for the discovery of new, biologically active, natural products. Further, as natural products continue to be discovered from fungi, a deeper understanding of the critical role of specialized metabolism in fungal ecology is afforded. The...

Regulation of Redox Homeostasis in Skin Cells for the Prevention of UV-Induced Stress and Treatment of Melanoma

Creator:: Carpenter, Evan L.
Abstract:: Melanocytes are dendritic, pigment-producing cells located in the skin and are responsible for its protection against the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which include DNA damage and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). They do so by synthesizing photoprotective melanin pigments and distributing them to adjacent skin cells (e.g.,...

Inhalable Lipid Nanoparticles for Messenger RNA Therapeutics

Creator:: Kim, Jeonghwan
Abstract:: Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy has massive potential to treat various genetic disorders by providing effective proteins to the diseased cells and tissues. Its therapeutic applications include protein replacement, genome editing, and immunotherapy. For successful mRNA treatment, mRNA must be delivered to the cytosol of target cells. One of the leading...

Advancing Nanotechnology for Photoacoustic Imaging

Creator:: St Lorenz, Anna
Abstract:: Curbing overall disease burden with faster intervention requires early stage and accurate diagnostics. Ultrasound (US) provides a safe, nonionizing, inexpensive, and noninvasive imaging modality that has become commonplace in diagnostics. Paired with the relatively new technology of photoacoustic imaging (PAI), optical level resolution becomes feasible with the deeper signal penetration...

Biochemical Studies of Pactamycin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces pactum

Creator:: Eida, Auday
Abstract:: Ribomimetic natural products have long been known for their important biological activities. Structurally, they contain a densely functionalized cyclopentane unit that resembles ribose. Pactamycin, the prominent member of this class of natural products, is a potent protein synthesis inhibitor produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces pactum. In pactamycin, the aminocyclopentitol...
