FGF21 COMPOUND / GLP-1R AGONIST COMBINATIONS WITH OPTIMIZED ACTIVITY RATIO
The present invention relates to combinations, pharmaceutical compositions and fusion molecules comprising an FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) compound and a GLP-1R (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor) agonist with optimized GLP-1R agonist/FGF21 compound activity ratio. It further relates to their use as medicaments, in particular for the treatment of obesity, being overweight, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, diabetic retinopathy, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH) and/or atherosclerosis.
USE OF GLUTAMINE SYNTHETASE FOR TREATING HYPERAMMONEMIA
The present invention relates to the use of glutamine synthetase as a protein therapy (such as enzyme replacement protein therapy) for the treatment of hyperammonemia. In particular the invention relates to the systemic administration of glutamine synthetase. The glutamine synthetase may be provided in conjugated or fusion form, to increase its half-life in the circulation. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising glutamine synthetase. The invention also relates to the uses, methods, and compositions involving a combination of the glutamine synthetase protein and an ammonia lowering agent, such as a nitrogen scavenger.

Antibody targeting IL-13RA2 and use thereof
Provided is an antibody that specifically recognizes IL-13RA2, which can be used in the manufacture of a targeting anti-tumor medicament as well as a medicament for diagnosing a tumor.
Polypeptide-antibody complexes and uses thereof
Complexes containing a labeled polypeptide and an antibody, and the use of such complexes as research, diagnostic, and clinical tools, are described herein.
Single-chain TNF receptor 2 agonist fusion proteins
This invention provides for a fusion protein between a single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist protein (scTNFR2 Selective Agonist) and a dimerization domain, such as an IgGFc protein. The single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist moiety provides a therapeutic activity by selectively activating the TNFR2 form of the TNF-α receptor, thus selectively stimulating Tregs and/or increasing myelin deposition.

Dynamic control of colocalization of proteins
The present invention provides a method for controlling colocalization of two or more proteins in a cell. The method comprises expressing the proteins, scaffold RNA molecules having binding motifs for the proteins, and a trigger RNA molecule in the cell. In the presence of the trigger RNA molecule, a scaffold may be assembled (ON) by the scaffold RNA molecules via hybridization such that the proteins may be colocalized; or disassembled (OFF) such that the proteins may be separated and not colocalized. The proteins may provide a biological activity when colocalized or not colocalized.

Method of treating anemia using long-acting EPO formulation
The present invention relates to a method for treating anemia using a long-acting EPO formulation, and more specifically, a method for treating patients with anemia by confirmation of safe, long-acting, and optimal effective dosage and usage in administering a fusion polypeptide which comprises an EPO and an immunoglobulin hybrid Fc to patients with anemia. The method of administering the fusion polypeptide employs an appropriate dosage and usage which not only shows an excellent long-acting property compared to the existing EPO products but also minimizes cardiovascular side effects that may occur due to a rapid increase in hemoglobin level, which is an effect of anemia treatment.
