摘要:
Immunoprotective primary mesenchymal stems cells (IP-MSC) which episomally express multiple immunoreactive polypeptides that specifically target a pathogen (e.g., an infectious species of virus, bacterium, or parasite) or toxin are described herein. The IP-MSC express two or more (e.g., 2 to about 100) immunoreactive polypeptides (e.g., full antibodies, single-chain antibodies (ScFV), Fab or F(ab)2 antibody fragments, diabodies, tribodies, and the like), and optionally one or more other immunomodulating polypeptides, e.g., a cytokine such as an interleukin (e.g., IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-12), an interferon (e.g., IFNα, IFNβ, or IFNω), and the like, which can enhance the effectiveness of the immunoreactive polypeptides.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating a coronavirus infection. A method embodiment comprises administering a polypeptide (preferably in a biocompatible pharmaceutical carrier) to a subject suffering from a coronavirus infection. The polypeptide comprises or consists of at least a portion of the fusion initiation region (FIR) of a coronavirus fusion protein. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises or consists of a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 2, 22, 23, 24, and 25 or an 8 to 40 contiguous amino acid residue portion thereof.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the involvement of miR function in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is shown that miR-23, miR-24 and/or miR-27 are involved in pathologic neovascularization in AMD, and that agonism (miR-24) and inhibition (miR23/27) of the function of these molecules blocks events contributing to development and progression of disease.

Simultaneous Multiple Sample Light Scattering systems and methods can be used to for polymer stability testing and for applying stressors to polymer or colloid solutions including heat stress, ultrasound, freeze/thaw cycles, shear stress and exposure to different substances and surfaces. among others, that create a polymer stress response used to characterize the polymer solution and stability.
摘要:
In order to render sewage sludge suitable for beneficial purposes, it must be disinfected and stabilized. EDC deactivation is rapidly becoming a desirable result of any sludge or biosolids treatment process. Disclosed herein is a process of treating sewage sludge so as to stabilize the sludge that involves the presence of an iron-containing compound during dewatering of the sludge. Process embodiments described also achieve biosolid samples that have reduced EDC activity, Other embodiments disclosed involve use of a combination of iron salts ferrate and ferric chloride that are added to wastewater sludge in the dewatering step before heat drying. The biosolids resulting from sludge treated with aniron-containing compound are able to resist putrefaction for more than two to three weeks.
