Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a biomolecule comprising a synthetic peptide for targeting thrombus, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of thromboembolism-related diseases. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the synthetic peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, or 3 exhibits a binding affinity and specificity to thrombus. Thus, the synthetic peptide may serve as a targeting element for delivering a therapeutic agent (e.g., an anticoagulant agent or a thrombolytic agent) to the thrombus thereby improving the therapeutic safety and efficacy of the therapeutic agent.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of use comprising antibodies or binding fragments thereof further comprising universal Fc glycoforms.
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical composition comprising antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof that bind to globo H, SSEA3, and SSEA-4 are disclosed herein, as well as methods of use thereof. Methods of use include, without limitation, cancer therapies and diagnostics. The antibodies of the disclosure can bind to certain cancer cell surfaces. Exemplary targets of the antibodies disclosed herein can include carcinomas, such as those in brain, skin, bone, lungs, breast, esophagus, stomach, liver, bile duct, pancreas, colon, kidney, cervical, ovarian, and/or prostate cancer.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a medium composition and method for culturing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), in which the medium comprises an epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) peptide, particularly a truncated EpCAM polypeptide containing the extracellular domain (EpEX). It significantly enhances cell proliferation and multipotency of the MSCs.
Abstract:
An isolated antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof having a specific binding affinity to an epitope located within the domain 1 or domain 3 of human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2; SEQ ID NO: 74) is disclosed. The epitope within the domain 3 of the VEGFR2 is located between amino acid residues 250 and 270 of SEQ ID NO: 74. Use of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for inhibiting tumor growth, tumor angiogenesis, and/or inducing cancer cell cytotoxicity in a subject in need thereof is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of detecting the presence of VEGFR2 in a tumor vascular endothelial cell or a cancer cell in a biological sample.
