摘要:
A method for preventing or ameliorating secondary neuronal injury and inflammation following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is disclosed. The method comprises the step of administering into a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing a neuregulin (NRG), a variant of NRG, or an expression vector encoding a NRG or a variant of NRG.
摘要:
In one aspect, nutraceutical compositions, methods of preparation and methods of use comprise a nutraceutical composition comprising an antimicrobial hevamine A-related protein from Momordica balsamina alone or in combination with one or more nutraceutical ingredients. In another aspect, a method of preventing or treating a microbial infection in a plant comprises applying an effective amount of a composition containing the hevamine A-related protein to a whole plant, plant part, or media in which the plant is growing. In a further aspect, the present application provides a transgenic plant stably transformed with a polynucleotide encoding the hevamine A-related protein.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for reducing the growth of and/or preventing the formation of a microbial biofilm are disclosed. The composition comprises an antimicrobial SMR peptide comprising an HIV-1 SMRwt peptide and a cell penetrating peptide (CPP) domain. In some embodiments, the composition further comprises one or more other antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), antibiotics, matrix-inhibiting compounds, matrix-disaggregating compounds, quorum sensing inhibitors, or a combination thereof. In other embodiments, the compositions are used for impregnating or coating an article and/or material surface with the composition to render it less prone to microbial infections.
摘要:
The present application relates to methods of producing exosomes. The application also provides a method for preparing a protein composition comprising culturing an exosome-producing cell expressing a Nef-fusion protein comprising a Nef-derived peptide fused to a protein of interest; isolating exosomes from the exosome-producing cell culture; and purifying the protein of interest from the isolated exosomes. The application further discloses compositions that comprise exosomes containing the Nef-fusion protein, as well as methods of using the Nef-fusion protein and exosomes containing the Nef-fusion protein.
摘要:
A composition and method for preventing or reducing the incidence of a transient ischemic attack in a subject at risk for developing a stroke comprises orally administering to the subject a prophylactically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an ASIC1a inhibitor capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. Preferred ASIC1a inhibitors for use in the disclosed methods include amiloride and amiloride analogs.
摘要:
The present application relates to a compositions and methods comprising or expressing a HEVAR or MOMO30 protein derived from Momordica balsamina. The HEVAR or MOMO30 protein and/or a nucleic acid encoding the same may be used in methods for treating or preventing viral infections, particularly those caused by coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
摘要:
The present application relates to methods and compositions and methods for treating viral infections, especially those caused by SARS-CoV-2. In one aspect, a method of treatment comprises administering to a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a multipartite SARS-CoV-2-inhibiting peptide comprising a secretion modulating region (VI-SMR) peptide from HIV-1 Nef in combination with a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) domain, a Clusterin (Clu)-binding peptide (Clu-BP) domain, a mitochondrial targeting (Mito-T) peptide domain, an anti-fusogenic (AF) peptide domain, a viral attachment inhibitor (VAI) domain or combination thereof, optionally where the SARS-CoV-2-inhibiting peptide is pegylated and/or modified with one or more hydrophobic domains.
