TRANSDERMAL COLD ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA-MEDIATED IMMUNE CHECKPOINT BLOCKADE THERAPY
A cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-mediated ICB therapy/delivery device are disclosed herein that employs a patch having microneedles that are used to deliver the CAP transdermally along with an immune checkpoint inhibitor for enhancing transdermal treatment efficacy. The hollow-structured microneedle patch can facilitate the transportation of CAP through the skin, causing tumor cell death. The release of cancer antigens then promotes the maturation of dendritic cells in the tumor-draining lymph nodes, subsequently initiating the T cell-mediated immune response. Anti-PDL1 antibody (aPDL1), an immune checkpoint inhibitor (or other immune checkpoint inhibitors), released from the microneedle patch (in some embodiments) further augments the anti-tumor immunity. The transdermal combinational CAP and ICB therapy inhibits tumor growth for both primary tumors as well as distant tumors, with prolonged survival in the tumor-bearing mice. Such results should translate to other species.
CANNABINOID AND LYCOPENE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SYNERGISTIC COMBINATIONS
The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a cannabinoid and lycopene, kits comprising same, and methods of using same, such as for treating a subject afflicted with inflammation.
TREATMENT FOR ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA OR MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME
The invention is related to a method of treating a subject with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or myelodysplastic syndrome by administration of Compound (I): (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
HISTATIN-1 FORMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT, REPAIR OR REGENERATION OF BONE TISSUE IN A SUBJECT
The present invention relates to a formulation or composition for the treatment, repair, formation or regeneration of bone tissue in a subject, comprising Histatin-1 or its derivatives. The present invention also relates to a biomaterial comprising Histatin-1 or its derivatives in a biocompatible material, and a method for the treatment, repair, formation or regeneration of bone tissues in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of Histatin-1 or its derivatives.
TREATMENTS OF CANCER USING NITROUS OXIDE AND BOTULINIUM TOXIN
Embodiments of the disclosure are related to a method of treating cancer including preventative treatment comprising administering nitrous oxide and oxygen to the patient by inhalation, and/or administering a botulinum toxin to the patient by injection, wherein the latter is directed to preventative treatment.
Coronavirus vaccine
This disclosure relates to the field of RNA to prevent or treat coronavirus infection. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods and agents for vaccination against coronavirus infection and inducing effective coronavirus antigen-specific immune responses such as antibody and/or T cell responses. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to methods comprising administering to a subject RNA encoding a peptide or protein comprising an epitope of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) for inducing an immune response against coronavirus S protein, in particular S protein of SARS-CoV-2, in the subject, i.e., vaccine RNA encoding vaccine antigen.
PROTEIN FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME
The invention provides an aqueous formulation comprising water and a protein, and methods of making the same. The aqueous formulation of the invention may be a high protein formulation and/or may have low levels of conductity resulting from the low levels of ionic excipients. Also included in the invention are formulations comprising water and proteins having low osmolality.
Intravenous “Y” shaped (yaseen) adapter
An IV adapter to allow for the mixing of multiple compatible medications with one another using a single bag of intravenous fluid. The IV adapter has multiple arms extending which gives rise to the ability to mix multiple medications. There is a spike within each arm to puncture the medication. The plurality of arms have built in mechanisms to control the flow of the medication and stop it from flowing in a certain direction. There are connections at the end of each arm allowing for a tight seal to be made to prevent any medication from leaking out of the IV line.
