    Abstract: A method of treating a subject for acute nicotine withdrawal generally includes intranasally administering to the subject a dose of insulin effective to ameliorate at least one symptom or clinical sign of nicotine withdrawal. In some embodiments, the dose of insulin can be at least 45 IU and no more than 75 IU. In one particular embodiment, the dose can be 60 IU. In some embodiments, the dose can be an amount effective to restore at least a portion of a nicotine-withdrawal-associated decrease in saliva Cortisol level following a stress stimulus. In some embodiments, the dose can be an amount effective to decrease an urge to smoke a cigarette during cute withdrawal from nicotine.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling peptide display valency on virus-like particles (VLPs), especially including MS2 VLPs. In this method, large amounts of wild-type and low quantities of single-chain dimer coat proteins may be produced from a single RNA. Valency is controlled in immunogen (vaccine) production by providing a system that allows the production of large amounts of wild-type and low quantities of single-chain dimer coating proteins from a single RNA, allowing facile adjustment of display valency levels on VLPs, especially MS2 VLPS over a wide range, from few than one—on average—to as many as ninety per particle. This facilitates the production of immunogens and vaccines, including VLPs exhibiting low valency. Nucleic acid constructs useful in the expression of virus-like particles are disclosed, comprised of a coat polypeptide of MS2 modified by insertion of a heterologous peptide, wherein the heterologous peptide is displayed on the virus-like particle and encapsidates MS2 niRNA. Nucleic acid constructs are also disclosed which are useful in the expression of virus-like particles comprised of a coat polypeptide of PP7 modified by insertion of a heterologous peptide, wherein the heterologous peptide is displayed on the virus-like particle and encapsidates PP7 mRNA.

    Abstract: An atomic layer deposition method is disclosed for preparing polypeptides. The method comprises providing a solid-phase support comprising a reactive amine monolayer in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber. The solid-phase support is contacted with a first protected amino acid substituted with a protecting group by atomic layer deposition, wherein the protecting group is bonded to a non-side chain amino group of the protected amino acid. A carboxylic acid group of the first protected amino acid is reacted with the reactive amine monolayer, thereby coupling the first protected amino acid to the solid-phase support to produce a coupled-product.

    Abstract: A dry powder delivery device may be configured to provide micronized dry powder particles to airways of a user. The device may include a cylindrical container delimiting a chamber containing at least one magnetically-responsive object, a motor external to said chamber, a magnet external to the chamber and rotatably coupled with the motor, and an outflow member configured to direct airflow to a user. The magnetically-responsive object may be coated with micronized dry powder particles, and the motor may be operable to rotate the magnet about an axis. Rotation of the magnet creates a magnetic field that causes the magnetically-responsive object to move in response to the magnetic field and collide with a side wall of the container to deaggregate the dry powder particles and aerosolize the dry powder in the chamber.
