The invention provides anti-oncostatin M receptor-β (OSMR) antigen binding proteins, e.g., antibodies and functional fragments, derivatives, muteins, and variants thereof. OSMR antigen binding proteins interfere with binding of OSM and/or IL-31 to OSMR. In some embodiments, anti-OSMR antigen binding proteins are useful tools in studying diseases and disorders associated with OSMR and are particularly useful in methods of treating diseases and disorders associated with OSMR and binding of OSM and/or IL-31 to OSMR.

The present invention provides antibodies and related molecules that bind to chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). The invention further provides antibody-drug conjugates comprising such antibodies, antibody encoding nucleic acids, and methods of obtaining such antibodies. The invention further relates to therapeutic methods for use of these antibodies and anti-CXCR4 antibody-drug conjugates for the treatment of a disorder associated with CXCR4 function or expression (e.g., cancer), such as colon, RCC, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, lung, ovarian, pancreatic cancer or hematological cancers.

The present invention relates to a A bactericidal or bacteriostatic composition comprising an acetal or a hexitan ether preferentially of a long-chain alkyl sorbitan, arlitan or mannitan, its use in the treatment or prevention of Gram-positive bacterial infections, its use as a hygiene or dermatological product for external use and a method for disinfecting surfaces.

Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises one or more extracts of Saxifraga oppositifolia (purple saxifrage) and/or one or more extracts of Soldanella alpina (alpine snowbell). The use of these extracts to combat extrinsic and intrinsic skin aging is likewise described.

The peptidic compound comprises at least an aminoacid which is lysine, ornithine, diaminopropionic acid or diaminobutyric acid or a derivative of these aminoacids, on which a carboxylic acid is grafted via a peptidic bound on the nitrogen of the lateral chain, said carboxylic acid comprising a (poly)cycle or (poly)heterocycle. Preferably, the grafted carboxylic acid is an aminoacid or a derivative, in particular selected from, a proline, a hydroxyproline or pyroglutamic acid.

The peptidic compound can stimulate the synthesis of the main molecules constituting the extracellular matrix of the skin, especially collagen 1 and 4 and elastin. It can be used for topical cosmetic treatment such as a global anti-aging treatment, or for specific activities, including anti-wrinkles, moisturizing, to improve the mechanical properties of the skin, firmness/tone/elasticity/flexibility, to increase density and volume of the skin, improve skin radiance, for a restructuring effect and/or to fight stretch marks.

This invention relates generally to bifunctional molecules including (a) a TGFβRII or fragment thereof capable of binding TGFβ and (b) an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that binds to an immune checkpoint protein, such as Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1), uses of such molecules (e.g., for treating cancer), and methods of making such molecules.

Compositions for the treatment of shock, autodigestion, multi-organ failure, intestinal ischemia, or intestinal hypoperfusion are provided.

The present invention provides for systems and methods for inhaled CO therapy to prevent, attenuate, or delay processes that accelerate the loss of organ or tissue function, thereby increasing the lifespan of transplanted organs or tissues, or slowing the decline of native organs or tissues, or delaying the need for replacement of diseased native organs with organ transplants. Such biological processes that are prevented, attenuated, or delayed include chronic persistent inflammation, fibrosis, scarring, as well as immunologic or autoimmune attack.

Embodiments are directed to a stable composition comprising stabilized hydrogen peroxide and 2-propanol and applicators configured to store, dispense, and apply such stable compositions. Such compositions may be used to treat skin conditions such as warts, condyloma accuminatum, molluscum contagiosum, acrochordons, seborrheic keratosis, or a combination thereof. Some embodiments also describe take home compositions, in office compositions, over-the-counter compositions, and kits for the use of such compositions.

The present invention provides methoxy-substituted pyrrolopyridines, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods of modulating RORγ activity and/or reducing the amount of IL-17 in a subject, and methods of treating various medical disorders using such pyrrolopyridines and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
