Abstract: The invention relates to LAMA2, PLXDC2 and MLL4 as novel biomarkers for prediabetes and diabetes. Specifically, use of a set of probes with specific binding affinities to prediabetes and diabetes protein markers comprising MLL4, LAMA2 and PLXDC2 for screening prediabetes and diabetes for care and/or treatment is disclosed. The set of probes comprises a first probe, a second probe and a third probe having specific binding affinities to the MLL4, LAMA2, and PLXDC2, respectively. A diagnostic kit device/apparatus comprising a set of probes is disclosed. A method for detecting and identifying prediabetes and/or diabetes in a subject in need thereof is also disclosed. The subject in need thereof identified as having prediabetes or diabetes is subject to a care and/or a treatment regime for the prediabetes or diabetes. Also disclosed is a method for identifying prediabetes and/or diabetes protein markers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel synthetic polypeptides and uses thereof in the preparation of liposomes. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the synthetic polypeptide comprises a membrane lytic motif, a masking motif, and a linker configured to link the membrane lytic motif and the masking motif. The linker is cleavable by a stimulus, such as, light, protease, or phosphatase. Once being coupled to a liposome, the exposure to the stimulus cleaves the linker that results in the separation of the masking motif from the membrane lytic motif, which in turn exerts membrane lytic activity on the liposome that leads to the collapse of the intact structure of the liposome, and releases the agent encapsulated in the liposome to the target site. Also disclosed herein are methods of diagnosing or treating a disease in a subject by use of the present liposomes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are substrates and/or inhibitors of endo-O-sulfatase 1 (Sulf-1). According to some embodiments, the substrates and/or inhibitors of Sulf-1 are compounds of formula (I) or (II), In formula (I) or (II), n is 2 or 3; X is methylene, O, or N; R1 is —SO3M, or —SO2NH2; R2 is C1-6 alkyl or C1-6 alkylamine; and M is a monovalent cation selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium. Also encompasses herein are methods of identifying and treating a subject having or suspected of having osteoarthritis. The method includes steps of (a) mixing a urine sample of the subject with 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate (4-MUS) and a Sulf-1 inhibitor of formula (I) or (II); (b) determining a fluorescence intensity of the mixture of the step (a); and (c) treating the subject with an analgesic, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), or a corticosteroid when the determined fluorescence intensity of the step (b) is smaller than that of a control sample, which is a mixture of the urine sample and 4-MUS.
