Provided herein are cytoplasts, compositions comprising cytoplasts, methods of using cytoplasts, and methods of treating a subject, such as providing benefits to a healthy or unhealthy subject, or treating or diagnosing a disease or condition in a subject. In some embodiments, methods of treating a subject include: administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a cytoplast. Also, provided herein are compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) that include a cytoplast. Also, provided herein are kits comprising instructions for using the compositions or methods.

Provided herein are compositions, systems, kits, and methods for treating cancer in a subject with androgen receptor positive cancer cells by sensitizing such cancer cells with anti-androgen receptor therapy (e.g., Enzalutamide or anti-androgen antibody), and then treating with radiation therapy.

The invention relates to a new neurotensin analogue, or a salt thereof, useful for targeting to neurotensin receptor-positive tumors, like ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma, exocrine pancreatic cancer, invasive ductal breast cancers, colon adenocarcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma, Ewing sarcoma, meningioma, medulloblastoma and astrocytoma.

This invention relates to novel thioflavin derivatives, methods of using the derivatives in, for example, in vivo imaging of patients having neuritic plaques, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the thioflavin derivatives and method of synthesizing the compounds. The compounds find particular use in the diagnosis and treatment of patients having diseases where accumulation of neuritic plaques are prevalent. The disease states or maladies include but are not limited to Alzheimer's disease, familial Alzheimer's disease, Down's Syndrome and homozygotes for the apolipoprotein E4 allele.

The present invention relates to a probiotic cell transformed with a construct suitable to overexpress and display on the surface of the probiotic cell a fusion protein comprising at least a portion of a transport protein coupled to at least a portion of one or more antigenic proteins or peptides. Probiotic-derived vesicles displaying this fusion protein as well as methods of inducing an immune response using the probiotic cells or vesicles are also disclosed.

This invention relates to a chemistry branch, particularly to the field of compounds' organic synthesis that belongs to the aromatic bicyclic or naphthalene category, used in the detection of amyloid sheets. These new naphthalene derivatives have a general formula: Wherein R represents mutually independent groups. In I: R.sub.1:-alkylenyl-C(O)NH-alkylenyl-R.sub.3, -alkylenyl-C(O)O—R.sub.4, R.sub.3:—COOH, —OH, —SH, —NH.sub.2, -alkyl-NH-alkyl-N-dithiocarbamate alkaline earth metal salts, R.sub.4: H, succinimidyl group, R.sub.2: —H,-alkyl. In II: R.sub.1: -alkyl, -alkylenyl-halide-alkylenyl-hydroxyl-alkylenyl-O-aryl, —O-alkylsulfonate alkylenyl, R.sub.2: -halide-alkylenyl-O-aryl, -alkylenyl-O-alkylsulfonate, -alkylenyl-halide-, —CH(O), —HC═C(CN).sub.2, —HC═CHNO.sub.2, -alkylenyl-NH.sub.2, -alkylenyl-NH-alkyl, -alkylenyl-alkyl-N-dithiocarbamate alkaline salts. The terms “alkyl” and “alkylenyl” refer to linear or branched aliphatic chains, preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the term halide to fluorine, bromine or iodine. These compounds are neutral, lipophilic and have low molecular weight and therefore they cross the blood brain barrier and attach to the amyloid sheets. The present invention provides procedures for obtaining naphthalene derivatives with good yields, which can be practical, economical and adapted to a larger-scale manufacturing. We are unaware whether the compounds presented in this invention have been previously reported.

Disclosed is a targeted molecular imaging probe consisting of a signal component, a component with a targeted affinity to Cx43 and a linker. The biochemical variation characteristic of connexin43 (Cx43) associated with cardiovascular diseases (especially arrhythmia) and neoplastic diseases can be reflected in the form of an image by using the targeted molecular imaging probe capable of being detected by an imaging device, to achieve in vivo molecular imaging.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for producing tailored solutions or medicaments containing radioactive isotopes (e.g., alpha particle emitting radioactive isotopes). The solutions may be produced by appropriate aging and separation steps. Therapeutically effective amounts of Ac-225 and/or Bi-213 may thus be obtained.
