Abstract:
Provided is a cannabinoid-phospholipid conjugate where the cannabinoid is covalently linked, via a cleavable linker, to a polar head group of the phospholipid. Also provided is a method of obtaining the conjugate, the method comprising (a) reacting the phospholipid (PL) dissolved in an organic solvent with maleic anhydride (MA) to obtain PL-MA intermediate; and (b) reacting said PL-MA intermediate with the cannabinoid in the presence of a carboxyl activating agent and an esterification agent to obtain a reaction mixture comprising said conjugate. Uses of the conjugate are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a composition comprising an extracellular vesicle (EV) associated with an active agent and a polymer, wherein said polymer carries at least one positively charged moiety or has at least one positive pole and said active agent carries, independently, at least one negatively charged moiety or has at least one negative pole; and wherein said polymer and said active agent are present at a positive to negative charge or pole ratio of at least 2. A preferred example relates to a composition wherein the polymer is polyethyleneimine, the agent is a nucleic acid and the EV is an exosome. The present disclosure also provides methods for obtaining the composition and uses of the composition.
Abstract:
Compounds represented by Formula I are disclosed herein, wherein R, Ra and R1-R14 are as defined herein. Further disclosed are uses and methods utilizing said compounds for use in inhibiting an activity of PERK, and in treating a disease or disorder associated with aggregation-prone proteins, a disease or disorder in which downregulating an unfolded protein response is beneficial, and/or Huntington's disease.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising a cell-derived particle associated with Cannabidiol (CBD), and uses thereof in treating medical conditions that can benefit from Cannabidiol (CBD) are provided.
Abstract:
A method of treating a neurological disease (such as autism) in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of microparticles derived from mesenchymal stem cells.
Abstract:
Methods and kits for diagnosing schizophrenia are disclosed. The diagnostic method comprises analyzing in a biological sample of a subject a level of A-to-I RNA editing of at least one CNS-expressed gene as set forth in Table 1, wherein an amount of the A-to-I RNA editing of the at least one gene below a predetermined level is indicative of schizophrenia in the subject.
Abstract:
An isolated human cell and populations thereof is provided comprising at least one astrocytic phenotype and at least one mesenchymal stem cell phenotype, wherein the mesenchymal stem cell phenotype is not an astrocytic phenotype.
