Abstract:
The invention regards the modulation of TGF-β activity by administering to a subject an antibody that binds to TGF-β, thereby increasing bone growth, bone formation, bone mass and bone strength. The antibody acts to increase osteoblast number and function while at the same time decreasing osteoclast number and function. Such drugs are useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, metastatic bone cancer, myeloma bone disease, bone fractures, etc.

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to antibodies binding previously undefined epitopes on influenza A virus hemagglutinin and methods for use thereof.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods of treating a patient having primary hyperoxaluria or idiopathic hyperoxaluria comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of compound of the formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof to the patient. The variables, e.g. ring A, n, R, R3, R10, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful inhibiting the conversion of glyoxylate to oxalate. When administered to a patient having a disease or disorder associated with elevated oxalate levels, such as PH type 1, type 2, or type 3 or idiopathic hyperoxaluria the compounds prevent or substantially reduce the amount and buildup of oxalate the patient's kidneys, bladder, urinary tract and other parts of the patient's body.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a modified transposase, comprising a core piggy Bac transposase having one or more modifications making it capable of excising and integrating a piggy Bac transposon in LE/LE configuration leading to hyperactivity. Also disclosed is a modified piggy Bac transposase capable of excising but not integrating a piggy Bac transposon in LE/LE configuration. Also disclosed herein is a modification of the mammalian Myotis lucifugus DNA transposon involving modification both its transposase and transposon LE and RE ends by truncations leading to hyperactivity.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to antibodies binding to and neutralizing the coronavirus designated SARS-CoV-2 and methods for use thereof.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor and one or more of a UNC51-like 1 (ULK1) inhibitor, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, or an mTOR inhibitor in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also disclosed is a method for treating glioblastoma in a subject that involves administering to the subject an effective amount of a STAT3 inhibitor and one or more of a ULK inhibitor, an AMPKα inhibitor, an HDAC inhibitor, or an mTOR inhibitor.
Abstract:
Deuterium-labeled 4-((2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)oxy)piperidines substituted with pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one, furo[3,4-b]pyridin-5(7H)-one, or [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one are positive allosteric modulators of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 (mAChR M4) and may have use in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with muscarinic acetylcholine receptor dysfunction.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses compounds of formula (I) wherein R1a, R1b, R2a, R2b, Z, R3 to R5, A, p, U, V, W, L and E have the meanings given in the claims and specification, their use as inhibitors of mutant Ras family proteins, pharmaceutical compositions and preparations containing such compounds and their use as medicaments/medical uses, especially as agents for treatment and/or prevention of oncological diseases.
Abstract:
One aspect of the invention relates to a method for intraoperative detection of parathyroid gland viability in a surgery, comprising obtaining speckle contrast images of a parathyroid gland of a patent; and displaying the speckle contrast images of the parathyroid gland in real-time.
