Genetically engineered bacteria, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating or preventing autoimmune disorders, inhibiting inflammatory mechanisms in the gut, and/or tightening gut mucosal barrier function are disclosed.

The invention relates to a new group of aromatic sulphonamides derivatives of formula (I) and their synthesis and use for modulation of the activity of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). More particularly, the invention provides small molecule inhibitors of PDI A1 that display antiplatelet, antithrombotic and anticancer activities.

The present invention provides compounds for inhibiting matriptase 2, or a mutant thereof, and compositions and methods of use thereof.

The present invention relates to antibodies or antigen binding fragment thereof that binds specifically to IGFBP3. The antibody inhibits or reduces the binding of IGFBP3 to the TMEM219 receptor. The invention also relates to methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing said antibodies, and uses thereof.

The present invention provides a novel compound having an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect. The present invention provides: a compound which has an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect, and is represented by formula (1a), (1b) or (11); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This compound provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for bacterial infections when used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs or used as a single agent. The present invention also provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for treating various diseases, by being used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs.

The present disclosure relates to agents, compositions targeting to von Willebrand factor (VWF). The VWF targeting agents are synthetic polynucleotides, including VWF binding agents and their reversal agents. The VWF binding agents are VWF binding aptamers that bind to and inhibit the VWF activities. The VWF binding agents can be reversed using reversal agents to reverse the inhibitory effect and thereby restore VWF activities. The disclosure further provides methods for regulating the activities of VWF, thereby modulating VWF mediated platelet functionality, such as thrombosis. the present VWF targeting agents may be used for preventing thrombus formation and treating thrombotic disorders.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), exhibiting a higher stability for prolonged storage and a reduced formation of aggregates of said esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) upon storage for ameliorated use in treating or preventing disorders related to kinin formation.
