摘要:
The present invention pertains to a strategy of selectively targeting oncolytic virotherapy, using either naturally occurring or genetically modified viruses by packaging them in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The present invention concerns MSCs, compositions comprising the MSCs, and methods of using the MSCs for treatment of cancer and for lysing or inducing apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro or in vivo.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) are presented. Novel dendriplexes are formed from poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers complexed with shRNA encoding DNA plasmids encapsulating shRNA encoding chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) gene, chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) gene, or a combination thereof. The dendriplexes are dually administered, both intranasally and intravenously, prior to administration of stem cells, such as human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) for the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Administration of the dendriplexes prior to stem cell administration resulted in a decrease in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, microgliosis and astrogliosis. In addition, a synergistic increase in brain derived trophic factor (BDNF) was shown by administration of the combination of dendriplex and stem cell administration.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer. Further provided herein are compositions and methods for reducing, inhibiting, or preventing resistance of cancer to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The methods may include administering an anti-resistance agent such as a CYP51A1 inhibitor or an agonist of miRNA-764 (SEQ ID NO: 4) to a subject. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor may also be administered to the subject in addition to the anti-resistance agent.
摘要:
This disclosure is directed to therapeutic compositions, and more particularly to microparticle compositions for the controlled delivery of telmisartan and actinomycin D.
摘要:
Provided herein is a three-dimensional scaffold composition comprising randomly oriented fibers, wherein the fibers comprise a polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid block copolymer (PEG-PLA) and a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). Also provided are methods for using the three-dimensional scaffolds described herein.

摘要:
Provided are methods and compositions for modulating the differentiation of a myeloid derived suppressor cell (MDSC). In particular, described herein are miR-142 polynucleotides and miR-223 polynucleotides that can be used to modulate differentiation of MDSCs. Increased differentiation of a MDSC population, or cells within an MDSC population, can be achieved by increasing the miR-142 and/or miR-223 polynucleotides in a MDSC.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of withaferin A and an immune checkpoint blocker. Further, the cancer to be treated may be resistant, have developed resistance, or may be susceptible to resistance to treatment with the immune checkpoint blocker alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent other than withaferin A.
摘要:
This invention provides for a RSV-targeted nanoparticle PMN (RTPMN), combining HR2D anti-fusion peptide, and plasmid encoded siRNA against RSV-NS1 and/or RSV-P gene as a safe, effective and inexpensive anti-RSV prophylaxis and/or therapy.
摘要:
A 4D-perfused tumoroid-on-a-chip platform used in personalized cancer treatment. The platform includes a plate with a plurality of bottomless wells that resides atop a microfluidic channel layer, which in turn resides atop a surface acoustic wave (SAW) based sensor layer that is capable of measuring potential pH values of fluids disposed within the platform. The microfluidic channel layer includes a plurality of bioreactors, with each bioreactor including an inlet well, a culture well, and an outlet well. The inlet well, culture well, and outlet well form a closed system via fluid conduits spanning from the inlet well to the culture well, as well as from the culture well to the outlet well. Due to the fluid flow from the plate to the chip, and from the inlet well to the outlet well on the chip through the culture well, target cell (tumoroid) growth is promoted within the culture well.
