Biomarkers for the Detection of Breast or Prostate Cancer

Technology: The inventors identified a subset of MicroRNAs (miRNAs) that are involved in regulating gene expression in many critical developmental and cellular functions, including cellular transformation and carcinogenesis. These novel class of miRNAs are elevated in breast and prostate cancers. Furthermore, the inventors have determined that...

Biomarker for the Detection and Monitoring of Bladder Cancer

Technology: The inventors have developed a biomarker application based on thromboxane receptor β (TPβ), which identifies patients with various stages of bladder cancers (invasive, superficial, or metastatic). TPβ proteins are overexpressed in common bladder tumor tissue but not normal human cells. Human urine samples of patient...
