Aquaporin-Enabled Degraders

Brief description not available

Inhibition of platelet production

The aim of this work is to target the production of age-specific production of hyperactive platelets as a therapeutic platform to control clot formation that causes thrombosis, stroke, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular disease, as well as platelet overproduction disorders such as essential thrombocytosis. In particular, this effort specifically targets cells that have progressed down an age-specific differentiation pathway. These age specific platelets are hyperactive relative to platelets from younger progenitor cells. These older platelet progenitor cells have been characterized molecularly and functionally characterization and can be targeted using pharmacological, antibody-based, cell based or gene therapy based strategies to control clot formation and platelet activity and numbers.
