    Abstract: A method of targeting a pharmaceutical agent to a senescent cell is disclosed. The method comprises administering the pharmaceutical agent to the subject, wherein said pharmaceutical agent is attached to an affinity moiety, said affinity moiety being capable of binding specifically to a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of HSP90B1, DNAJB4, PI4K2A, DBN1, PRKCSH, SPTBN1, NPM1, ITGA3 and a polypeptide set forth in Table 1. The targeting may be for therapeutics or diagnostics.

    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a novel cell based tumor vaccine platform. The invention provides a method for modifying antigen presenting cells (APCs) to present both MHC class I and/or MHC class II peptides in context of improved peptide presentation protein complexes in order to increase activation of a patient's immune response. In this invention, an MHC II mRNA dendritic cell based vaccine platform was developed to activate CD4+T cells in patients and to enhance the anti-tumor response. The invariant chain (Ii) was modified and the semi-peptide CLIP was replaced with an MHCII binding peptide sequences of tumor associated antigens. These chimeric MHC II constructs are presented by APCs and induce proliferation of tumor specific CD4+T cells. The invention provides the constructs, proteins, nucleic acids, recombinant cells, as well as medical applications of these products.

    Abstract: A method of treating a malignant disease involving T cell exhaustion in a subject, with the proviso that said malignant disease is not a B cell malignancy, is disclosed. The method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84, thereby treating the malignant disease involving the T cell exhaustion. Also disclosed is a method of treating an autoimmune or inflammatory disease in a subject, the method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84. A method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of SLAMF1, with the proviso that said agent is not an agent capable of decreasing an activity or expression of CD84, is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to key genes in the biosynthesis of steroidal alkaloids and saponins, including regulatory genes and enzyme-encoding genes, and to use thereof for altering the content of steroidal (glyco)alkaloids or phytosterols in plants. The present invention provides genetically modified plants or gene edited plants with altered content of steroidal (glyco)alkaloids, particularly to Solanaceous crop plants with reduced content of antinutritional steroidal glycoalkaloids and to the increase in phytosterols, including cholesterol or cholestanol in these plants. The present invention also provides methods of altering gene expression.

    Abstract: A multi-layer viewing system includes a stationary imager and a beam projector to project physical layer markings onto a region of an object. A headset includes an augmented reality display that is sufficiently transparent to enable a user who is wearing the headset to directly view the object through the display, and to display annotation that is superimposed on the object. A processor is configured to receive a selected location relative to the target for display of the annotation, determine an orientation of the augmented reality display by identifying images of markings in acquired images or markings on the object, calculate a display location for displaying the annotation on the augmented reality display such that the annotation is perceivable by the user as displayed at the selected position, and display the annotation at the calculated display location
