Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the inhibition of a bacterial infection. More specifically, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for the inhibition and/or treatment of a bacterial infection, particularly an infection characterized by a biofilm. In a particular embodiment, the micelle comprises at least one block copolymer comprising an ionically charged polymeric segment and a non-ionically charged polymeric segment, wherein the ionically charged polymeric segment is grafted with hydrophobic moieties
Abstract:
Provided are materials and methods for the prevention and treatment of Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis comprising administration of an effective amount of at least one of a hemi-channel inhibitor or a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administration of an effective amount of each of a hemi-channel inhibitor and a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a hemi-channel inhibitor or a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, as well as kits comprising at least one effective dose of a hemi-channel inhibitor or a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor or a combination of both.

Abstract:
Materials and methods for treating an infection or disease, activating an immune cell at a site of infection or disease, and for directly killing microorganisms, using response-selective carboxy-terminal C5a analogs, are provided.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for the treatment of Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL), also known as Juvenile Batten Disease, are provided herein. In certain embodiments the compositions include but are not limited to adeno-associated viral (AAV) constructs, including self-complementary adeno-associated viral (sc-AAV) constructs, that express the human gene CLN3 (or a CLN3 cDNA).
