Abstract: Methods and compositions that can be used to modulate the activity of furin in a subject are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the methods include administering a pharmaceutical composition including a protease inhibitor. In some embodiments, the protease inhibitor inhibits furin activity by binding to the catalytic site, the allosteric site, or both.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes treatment compositions and methods for preventing and/or treating microbial infections of ciliated tissues, such as tissues of the trachea, lungs, and sinuses. The method utilizes a treatment composition that includes a cationic steroidal antimicrobial (CSA) compound, a poloxamer, and a carrier, which is administered to ciliated tissue, such as lung tissue, in order to prevent or treat a microbial infection by killing microbes associated with the ciliated tissue. The poloxamer forms micelles that encapsulate the CSA compound, the poloxamer being included in the treatment composition in an amount, by weight, that is about 100 to 1000 times the amount of the CSA compound.

Abstract: A hollow rod developable actuator tool including a first link comprising an outer cylinder, a second link comprising a first tool member pivotably connected to the first link at a first joint mounted in a first cavity in the wall of the outer cylinder, a third link comprising a second tool member pivotably connected to the first tool member at a second link, and a fourth link comprising an inner cylinder to which the second tool member is also pivotably connected at a third link mounted in a second cavity in the wall of the inner cylinder. When the inner cylinder of the fourth link is rotated in relation to the outer cylinder of the first link the actuator tool transitions from a first state where the tool is closed to a second state where the tool is open.

Abstract: Cationic steroidal antimicrobial (CSA) compounds having a structure of Formula I, II or III, or salt thereof, wherein at least one of at least one of R1-R18, (e.g., R3, R7 and R12) is linked to the steroidal backbone by a urethane group:
At least one of R1-R18, (e.g., R3, R7 and R12) has the following urethanyl structure:
—O—(C═O)—NR19R20
where R19 and R20 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aminoalkyl, aminoalkenyl, aminoalkynyl, or aminoaryl, provided that at least one of R19 or R20 includes an amino group (e.g., R19 is hydrogen and R20 is (C2-C6)aminoalkyl).
R18 can have the following structure:
—R21—(C═O)—NR22R23
where R21 is omitted or alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or aryl, and R22 and R23 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or aryl, provided that at least one of R22 or R23 is not hydrogen.-

Abstract: A multi-stage stent including a stent body and a bio-erodible material is provided. The stent body can be compressed in an initial state and the bio-erodible material can be coupled to the stent body in a configuration that holds the stent body in an expanded first state, following a first stage expansion from the initial state upon deployment of the stent body. Upon erosion of the bio-erodible material the stent body is released from the first state to expand further in a second stage expansion to a second state.

Abstract: Spatially distributed optical excitation and integrated waveguides are used for ultrasensitive particle detection based on individual electrokinetic velocities of particles. In some embodiments, chip-integrated systems are used to identify individual particles (e.g., individual molecules) based on their velocity as they move through an optically interrogated channel. Molecular species may be identified and quantified in a fully integrated setting, allowing for particle analysis including molecular analysis that can operate at low copy numbers down to the level of single-cell lysates. In some embodiments, the single-particle velocimetry-based identification and/or separation techniques are applied to various diagnostic assays, including nucleic acids, metabolites, macromolecules, organelles, cell, synthetic markers, small molecules, organic polymers, hormones, peptides, antibodies, lipids, carbohydrates, inorganic and organic microparticles and nanoparticles, whole viruses, and any combination thereof.
