Pharmacological Inhibition of PD-L1 as an Antagonist of Skin Damage and Cancer in response to Acute and Chronic Solar UV Exposure and Other Environmental Toxicants
This innovation is the development of a pharmacological inhibitor of PD-L1 to prevent or reduce the negative impact of acute and chronic solar UV exposure and environmental toxicants on the skin. PD-L1 is a molecule involved in immune regulation and can be upregulated in response to UV radiation and environmental toxins. However, overexpression of PD-L1...

Biomarker to Assess Risk For Skin Cancer Development
This technology is a diagnostic test that can help assess a patient's risk for developing skin cancer by measuring biomarker levels under specified conditions. Additionally, the test can help determine prophylactic treatment for an individual at risk of developing skin cancer.
Background:
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer among the...
