"Compositions And Methods For Inducing Scarring By Peri-Tumoral Cells" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240398976).

The patent application titled "Compositions And Methods For Inducing Scarring By Peri-Tumoral Cells" discusses the need for improved methods to treat brain tumors, specifically gliomas. The technology focuses on inducing scarring of peri-tumoral cells to slow tumor growth and prevent spread by targeting and activating these cells with specific stimuli. The compositions involve nanoparticles, linkers, masking agents, and ligands that target receptors in peri-tumoral cells to induce scarring, potentially offering a new approach to treating brain tumors. The patent application was filed by inventors from Durham, NC, and Atlanta, GA, and is currently in the approval process with the USPTO. [Extracted from the article]
