The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of anti-PSGL-1 compositions (e.g., monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof) that regulate myeloid cell inflammatory phenotypes, such as suppressive myeloid cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and/or dendritic cells, including polarization, activation, and/or function, and methods of using such anti-PSGL-1 compositions for therapeutic, diagnostic, prognostic, and screening purposes.

The present invention is directed to compositions comprising modified SMARCB1 and uses thereof.

Cationic polymers having one or more anionic ligand end groups, including a new class of carboxylated branched poly(beta-amino ester)s that can self-assemble into nanoparticles for efficient intracellular delivery of different biomolecules, including a variety of proteins is disclosed.

A nanoprobe system for in vivo use comprises a plasmonic-active nanoparticle and a molecular probe system. The molecular probe system comprises an oligonucleotide capable of forming a stem-loop configuration, having a first end and a second end, wherein the oligonucleotide is immobilized to the plasmonic-active nanoparticle at the first end and labeled with a Raman reporter at the second end, a placeholder strand at least partially bound to the oligonucleotide, and an attachment mechanism for attachment to a cell membrane.
