This invention relates to the use of the combination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (“25-OH D3”) and antioxidants/anti-inflammatories (ascorbic acid vitamin E and canthaxanthin) to make a premix or feed which can ameliorate various problems observed in poultry which have been subject to overfeeding. Feeds containing the 25-OH D3 and antioxidants/anti-inflammatories and premixes are also provided.

This disclosure describes chimeric antigen receptors for expression in a Natural Killer (NK) cell, pharmaceutical compositions that include NK cells (and/or iPSCs) modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor, and methods involving such chimeric antigen receptors. Generally, the chimeric antigen receptor includes an ectodomain that includes an antigen recognition region, a transmembrane domain linked to the ectodomain, and an endodomain linked to the transmembrane domain. The endodomain can include a signaling peptide that activates an NK cell.

Provided herein are intermediates and processes useful for facile synthesis of compounds of formula (I):

##STR00001##

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a solvate, a tautomer, an isomer or a deuterated analog thereof, wherein Q, P.sup.1 and P.sup.2 are as defined in this disclosure.

A method for caring for or treating the breasts during premenstrual or menstrual phases and for the care or treatment of the symptomatology of mastodynia, comprising a step of selecting or identifying women needing care or treatment of the breasts, or suffering from symptomatology of mastodynia, and a step of applying to the skin areas in need thereof an effective amount of a product, active agent or composition, comprising peroxidized lipids or a peroxidised oil, or consisting essentially of peroxidized lipids or of a peroxidised oil.

The object of the present invention relates to the new and surprising use of sulfated hyaluronic acid (HAS) as regulator agent of the cytokine activity (pro- and antiinflammatory) and consequently the use of HAS for the preparation of a new medicine for the prevention and treatment of pathologies associated with the activation and/or deficiency of cytokines of a pro- and antiinflammatory nature. The Applicant has in fact discovered its exclusive capacity in modulating the activity of these particular proteins, it has studied the action mechanism and demonstrated the substantial difference between the different sulfated types known in the state of the art, but above all it has demonstrated an unexpectedly high activity of HAS vs different types and strains of Herpes virus, HIV, Cytomegalovirus and the virus of vesicular stomatitis.

Oligonucleotide compounds modulate expression and/or function of Erythropoietin (EPO) polynucleotides and encoded products thereof. Methods for treating diseases associated with Erythropoietin (EPO) comprise administering one or more oligonucleotide compounds designed to inhibit the EPO natural antisense transcript to patients.

The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in recombinant cells such as yeast or plant cells. Also provided are recombinant cells or plants which produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a group of new enzymes which possess desaturase or elongase activity that can be used in methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In particular, the present invention provides ω3 destaurases, Δ5 elongases and Δ6 desaturases with novel activities. Also provided are methods and DNA constructs for transiently and/or stably transforming cells, particularly plant cells, with multiple genes.

The present invention relates to methods for producing particles of metaxalone using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising metaxalone, medicaments produced using metaxalone in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of metaxalone administered by way of said medicaments.

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.

The present invention is directed to novel non-woven fabrics containing growth and differentiation factor proteins. Said fabrics are specifically designed to accelerate tissue regeneration and wound healing processes of mammalian tissues. Furthermore, the invention provides wound dressings, pads or implants comprising the novel non-woven fabrics.
