Abstract: Provided herein are aptamers and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. In some embodiments, the aptamer selectively binds a protein of interest such as an extracellular receptor protein of interest (e.g., a cancer cell extracellular receptor protein, which may be differentially expressed in some embodiments). In some embodiments, the aptamer is directly linked by covalent bonding (e.g., via a geminal diamine linkage) to from 2 to 10 toxin compounds. Also provided herein is a method of selecting an aptamer that specifically binds to a protein expressed by a cell of interest, wherein in some embodiments the aptamer comprises at least one binding site for one or more active compounds. In some embodiments, primer regions flanking the variable region of the aptamers in the pool contains from 1 to 10 mismatches with respect to said forward or reverse primer.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to systems and methods of bioenergetic profiling, uses thereof, and systems and devices relating thereto. In particular, methods of the invention are useful in assessing wellness, particularly in elderly subjects. Described are systems and methods of assessing likelihood of subject morbidity, life expectancy, positive clinical outcome, responsiveness to treatment, and certain disease states as well as of selecting treatment strategy, improving outcome to treatment strategy, and treating subjects with low bioenergetic profiles. Also described are devices and systems for measuring respiratory capacity.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of assessing an individual subject's risk of developing prostate cancer, comprising: a) analyzing a nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject and determining a genotype for the subject at a plurality of biallelic polymorphic loci, wherein each of said plurality has an associated allele and an unassociated allele, wherein the genotype is selected from the group consisting of homozygous for the associated allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the unassociated allele; and b) calculating a cumulative relative risk (CRR) for the subject based on the genotype determined in step (a). A CRR of greater than 1.00 identifies a subject as having an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and also can identify a subject who is a candidate for early PSA screening, prostate biopsy and/or chemoprevention.

Abstract: In one aspect, methods of treating cancerous tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of treating cancerous tissue comprises inducing necrotic cell death in cancer stem cells in vivo during hyperthermic treatment of the tissue, wherein inducing necrotic cell death comprises positioning nanoparticles adjacent to the cancer stem cells and irradiating the nanoparticles with electromagnetic radiation resulting in membrane damage to the cancer stem cells.
