The invention relates to the use of compounds of general structure (I) in modulation of the Wnt pathway ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each, independently, H or an alkyl group; D is selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and dialkylamino, each (other than H and halogen) being optionally substituted; Ar is an aryl or heteroaryl group, optionally substituted; Cy is an aryl, heteroaryl or a saturated ring containing at least one heteroatom, each being optionally substituted; and n is an integer from 1 to 3.

The present disclosure generally relates to viral-based expression systems suitable for the production of molecule of interests in recombinant host cells. The disclosure particularly relates to nucleic acid constructs, such as expression vectors, containing a modified arterivirus genome or replicon RNA in which at least some of its original viral sequence has been deleted. Also included in the disclosure are viral-based expression vectors including one or more expression cassettes encoding heterologous polypeptides. In some embodiments, the expression cassettes are configured and positioned at defined locations on the viral genome so as to enable expression of the heterologous polypeptides in a tunable manner.

This disclosure relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a, (GSD-Ia), and related symptoms such as hypoglycemia. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase or G6PC), and functional fragments and variants thereof. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of G6PC expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further increase the glucose production, and reduce the abnormal accumulation of glycogen and/or glucose-6-phosphate associated with GSD-Ia.

In one aspect, compounds of Formula AA, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are featured or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the variables shown in Formula A can be as defined anywhere herein.

##STR00001##

The present disclosure relates to compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods for inhibiting the activity of SHP2 phosphatase with the compounds and compositions of the disclosure. The present disclosure further relates to, but is not limited to, methods for treating disorders associated with SHP2 deregulation with the compounds and compositions of the disclosure. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to the combination of PM01183 with several anticancer drugs, in particular other anticancer drugs selected from antitumor platinum coordination complexes, antimetabolites, mitotic inhibitors, anticancer antibiotics, topoisomerase I and/or II inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, nitrogen mustard alkylating agents, nitrosourea alkylating agents, nonclassical alkylating agents, estrogen antagonists, androgen antagonists, mTOR inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and other agents selected from aplidine, ET-743, PM02734 and PM00104, and the use of these combinations in the treatment of cancer.

Methods and compositions are provided for treating weight related conditions and metabolic disorders by altering microbiota in a subject. One aspect provides methods and compositions to alter microbiota in a subject by administering to the subject a composition that includes a substantially purified microbiota from phyla such as Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobia or orders such as Bacteroidales, Verrucomicrobiales, Clostridiales and Enterobacteriales or genera such as Alistipes, Clostridium, Escherichia, and Akkermansia. Another aspect includes a pharmaceutical composition for altering microbiota that includes a therapeutically effective amount of substantially purified microbiota and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Yet another aspect includes methods for treating a disorder, such as obesity, in a subject in need of such treatment by changing relative abundance of microbiota in a gastrointestinal tract of the subject without or in addition to a surgical procedure.

The disclosure relates to methods for treating galactosemia and manifestations of galactosemia using aldose reductase inhibitors.

The disclosure relates to methods for treating galactosemia and manifestations of galactosemia using aldose reductase inhibitors.

The invention relates to differentiation methods for progenitor cells, e.g. mammalian epithelial stem cells, differentiation media for use in said methods, organoids and cells obtainable by said methods and uses, including therapeutic uses, thereof.
