Clinical Measurement of Circulating Extracellular Vesicles in Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Treatment Response
Opportunity With vague-presenting early symptoms and a 5-year survival rate of around 10% in the USA, pancreatic cancer (PC) is difficult to diagnose early and has limited effective therapeutic options. However, if detected earlier, PC survival increases to 80%, suggesting that early detection is key to enhancing survival. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9,...

N-f-MLF Derivative Peptides for the Treatment of Inflammatory Diseases
Opportunity When the body’s immune system is activated, inflammation in the affected tissue can occur. However, in some diseases, including Hyper-IgE Syndrome or Job Syndrome, unwanted inflammatory responses occur to due to continuously activated immune responses and a decreased ability to regulate them. Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are a...
