Harnessing Inhibitory RNA Based- Nanoparticles for Therapeutic Intervention in Blood Cancers

The current treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) included standard chemotherapy and small molecules such as the proteasome inhibitor and the immunomodulatory drugs.  Although these drugs have improved the response and survival of MM patients, MM is still an incurable disease. Drug resistance and disease refractoriness are the common terminal pathways leading to patients’ mortality. Therefore, […] Read More >

A Novel Nanoparticle that Selectively Delivers RNAi Oligonucelotides to Tumors, Preventing Side Effects to Tissues

UNMET NEEDPancreatic cancer numbers among the most aggressive cancers known today. The overwhelming majority of pancreatic cancer patients pass away within just a year of diagnosis. However, a small minority of patients may live several years with the disease. Our findings pinpoint the inverse correlation between a known oncogene (PLK1) and the expression of an […] Read More >

Novel Ionizable Lipids for Delivery of Nucleic Acids (mRNA, DNA, siRNA)

BackgroundChemotherapy treatment is generally accompanied by adverse effects, which can be significantly reduced using site specific, targeted delivery systems, such as antibody-coated LNPs (immuno-LNPs). However due to inter-and intra-tumor heterogeneity targeting with a single targeting moiety is not sufficient in many cases and in others may induce cancer relapse due to the survival of side […] Read More >

Targeting Human Brain Cells With Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) for a Prospective Therapeutic Approach

The AAV therapeutic approach for various central nervous system (CNS) illnesses has been rapidly growing. Unfortunately, existing present technologies utilize AAV administration that is injected locally into the brain. This process requires a high level of expertise and is not applicable in more diffused brain targets like cortex and stiratum. Systemic administration of AAV vectors through […] Read More >

New MicroRNAs as Candidates for Depression Therapy

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex, common, and recurrent mental disorder (1). The current first-line treatment for MDD is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are antidepressant drugs that block serotonin reuptake. Two microRNA (miRNAs) molecules namely miR-30b-5p and miR-101a-3p were found to be downregulated in the raphe nuclei (RN) of mice following chronic […] Read More >

Restoring Immunity Against GI Cancers

BACKGROUND GI cancers cause over 3.5 million deaths per year globally, accounting for 35% of all cancer-related deaths. Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the world’s second leading cause of cancer death. Current immunotherapy treatments for CRC are hamstrung by low response rate, acquired resistance, relapse and severe side effects. ImmuNovation presents a disruptive nanomodular technology utilizing […] Read More >

Prof. Kolot Mikhail

Research Interests HK022 bacteriophage site specific recombinase Integrase is the tool for human genome manipulation and gene therapy. Site specific recombinases (SSRs) catalase the site-specific recombination reaction between two specific short DNA sequences of 30-40 bp that serve as recombination sites that included integration, excision and inversion. These enzymes are widely used for the genome manipulations […] Read More >
