Cancer is the first leading cause of death in Taiwan. Targeted therapy allows the cancer cells to be specifically targeted, reduces the side effects,achieves the purpose of precision cancer treatment. This report contains two invention technologies which combined early & specific diagnosis of a specific Aurora-A mRNA isoform in cancers (the companion diagnosis)the treated with a selective locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified novel double-stranded short interfering nucleic acid (siRNA) to inhibit the translation of this Aurora-A mRNA isoform (targeted therapy) in cancers.

We developed a biomimetic triple-antibody-immobilized magnetic fucoidan nanomedicine as a multifunctional artificial antigen presenting cell, which possessed the ability to not only inhibit immune checkpoint but activate tumor infiltrated T cells. of Bridging sites with tunable density on the nanoplatform was designed, allowing the antibodies to be well-distributed on the surface for mimicking immune cells. In contrast to the complex cell expansion process using microbeads in adaptive cell therapy, the nanoplatform can be i.v. administrated to cut the course of therapy from several weeks to days. With the development of the platform technology, an artificial immune system family can be built to pave the way for personalized immunotherapy.

An innovative ointment solves an unmet clinical need to cure keloid wounds The composition of the ointment can precisely modulate the cell functionsgene expression of keloid fibroblasts, making them close to the performance of normal fibroblasts. Thereby, when applying the ointment to keloid woundsthe human body prone to the formation of keloid wounds, the wound is smoothed, healing close to normal skin.

We have identified a series of BPR1R compounds as highly selective CSF1R inhibitors with excellent oral bioavailability. In vivo, oral administration of BPR1R compounds delayed murine colon tumor growthreversed the immunosuppressive TME with increased M1/M2 ratio. The US & PCT patent application including more than 160 novel compounds was filed in April 20, 2020. Several potential compounds are undergoing candidate assessment for further preclinical studies.

This technology uses deep learning technology to establish six automatic organ segmentation models for six organsa graphical user interface for doctors. The data is exchanged with the existing radiotherapy planning system by standard formats. Analysis of the dosimetric parameters of the 3D printed customized bolus demonstrated that it is provided good dose escalationgood contact with the irregular surface.

We used the concepts of tissue regeneration, embedding drugs in biomaterial carriers,a rigorous regeneration deficient animal model with severe hind limb ischemia to develop an effective novel therapy Grace-001. The new drug can promote neovascularization, tissue regeneration, blood flow maintenance,restoration of blood vessels, nerves,muscles as well as their functions. This new dr

Our present invention firstly provides a new ultrasound (US)-multifunctional microbubble (MB) which can be applied to a topical region of the body surface of organisms by applyingsputtering, instead of using injection. Some interesting topics have been explored: 1. US-aided MBs facilitate the delivery of drugs to the inner ear via the transcanal method, 2. drug-carrying modified MB combine wit

Our core generated several types of transgenic micea stable humanized ACE2 mice using a combi-CRISPR genetic engineering technique. We hope these mouse models can help to dissect COVID-19 pathogenic mechanismthe interaction(s) between spike proteinACE2 K353.

The invention integrates a variety of technologies including stem cell proliferation, directed inductioncryopreservation in vitro. This integrated system was developed under chemical defined condition,can expand various type of stem cells over one hundred foldcan furtherly induce to specific mature cells up to ten millions. In addition, the amount of cryoprotectant can be significantly reduced to 2 in the cryopreservation system with excellent cell survival rate. This integrated system can provide a promisingvarious stem cell sources for cell therapyimmunotherapy.

This system uses the innovative AIoT application to target annoying scalp maintenance problemsdevelops an intelligent scalp detectionmanagement system. The core of the technology is to use deep learning-based object detection models. Tens of thousands of microscopic image data sets that are labeledtrained for scalp symptoms. As a result, the scalp image recognition module is develop, such as dandruff, hair loss, oil, and inflammation, etc. Hence this system can provide scalp detection, and maintenance effectiveness tracking functions lead scalp maintenance services to a new level of intelligent management.

Gene delivery technology is widely used in cell therapy, nucleic acid-based vaccines, protein production, gene therapy, etc. We have developed a non-viral gene delivery technology-MPGene, which has excellent gene delivery efficiency (50-80) for human mesenchymal stem cells,also has the characteristics of low production costhigh safety. In the future, MPGene has the potential to be used in important biomedical fields such as gene delivery reagents, major trauma cell therapy, malignant tumor treatmentcartilage cell therapy.

Migraine patients account for about 640 million people (15) in the world,about 1.75 million (9.1) in Taiwan. Our team had developed a wearable brain-computer interface system with the newly developed graphene dry electrodeadaptive noise subspace reconstruction technology. This system combined the physiological indicators before migraine attacksuses AI technology to build an intelligent migraine early warning system,combined BrainSTIM electrical stimulation technology to assist migraine patients.

Nanopharmaterial is a term by combining pharmaceuticalmaterial via nanotechnology. Here we demonstrate this concept by developing a novel nanopharmaterial, so called 177Lu-Gold nanostar (AuNS). 177Lu is a therapeutic radionuclide emitting moderate-energy beta particles as well as gamma rays for SPECT/CT-based imaging diagnosis. Nanostar can target tumors by enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effectsowns the photothermal therapeutic potent. The core technology is to integrate radionuclidenanomaterial to perform a new radio-nanopharmaterial for tumor target theranostic purpose.

DBPR807, a safehighly specific CXCR4-targeting antagonist, has completed the concept validation of treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) through both ratmini-pig animal disease models induced by occluding the left anterior descending artery (LAD). When DBPR807 (5 mg/kg, SC) was given in the rat model, a significant heart-protective effect was observed with reducing cardiac infarctionfibrosis by 4341, respectively. In the mini-pig model, DBPR807 (3 mg/kg, IV) treatment was allowed to improve 3-month LVEF up to 52 falling in a standard range between 50~70.

We developed a humanized bifunctional antibody (mPEG×tumor marker),the anti-PEG end can be non-covalently modified to bind any PEGylated nano-druga contrast agent by one-step "formulation". The non-covalent binding solved the problems of chemical modification such as the masking of the antibody binding site, heterogeneity, drug instability. The other end of the bifunctional antibody can specifical
