摘要:
The presently disclosed subject matter relates to compositions and methods directed to tripartite cancer theranostic nucleic acid constructs that permit simultaneous cancer-specific viral replication, expression of a diagnostic gene product, and expression of a therapeutic gene.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for treating and/or preventing autoimmune fibrosis, such as systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a death receptor agonist. Suitable death receptor agonists include tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), agonistic death receptor antibodies, and variants, analogues, or derivatives thereof. The administration of the death receptor agonist blocks fibroblast or profibrogenic cell activation, and/or reduces or depletes myofibroblasts, thereby reducing or preventing systemic sclerosis.
摘要:
Provided are compounds generated by conjugation of triptolide with glucose to form glucose-triptolide conjugates, provides compounds with effective anti -proliferative activity and improved tolerability as compared to naturally occurring triptolide compounds.
摘要:
The instant invention provides a method for diagnosing an infection in a subject by administering to the subject a compound suitable for imaging which binds to a thymidine kinase present in the infecting organism, and obtaining an image of the subject to determine the presence and location of the compound, wherein a localization of the compound is indicative that the subject has an infection.
摘要:
A detectable substrate for aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) can be used for selecting cells that express ALDH. The detectable substrate can have a fluorescent moiety that has an excitation wavelength, an emission wavelength, or both, that does not overlap with the excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, or both, of green fluorescent protein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds particularly asymmetric urea compounds which are labeled with one or more radioisotopes and which are suitable for imaging or therapeutic treatment of tissues, organs, or tumors which express NAALADase and/or PSMA. In another embodiment, the invention relates to methods of imaging tissues, organs, or tumors using radiolabeled compounds of the invention, particularly tissues, organs, or tumors which express NAALADase and/or PSMA to which the compounds of the invention have an affinity. In another embodiment, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing urea compounds.
