The University of Pittsburgh announced that Pitt innovators were issued three U.S. patents in March 2019.
Featured Patent: U.S. 10,233,201 “Class of HDAC Inhibitors”
Neil Hukriede, Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Developmental Biology, and colleagues, have identified a novel class of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors which cause expansion of renal progenitor cells during embryonic development. They have shown in experiments that this accelerates renal recovery when given after acute kidney injury.
