Provided herein are engineered nucleic acids (e.g., expression vectors, including viral vectors, such as lentiviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, AAV vectors, herpes viral vectors, and retroviral vectors) that encode OCT4; KLF4; SOX2; or any combination thereof that are useful, for example, in inducing cellular reprogramming, tissue repair, tissue regeneration, organ regeneration, reversing aging, or any combination thereof. Also provided herein are recombinant viruses (e.g., lentiviruses, alphaviruses, vaccinia viruses, adenoviruses, herpes viruses, retroviruses, or AAVs) comprising the engineered nucleic acids (e.g., engineered nucleic acids), engineered cells, compositions comprising the engineered nucleic acids, the recombinant viruses, engineered cells, engineered proteins, chemical agents that are capable of activating expression of OCT4; KLF4; SOX2; or any combination thereof, an engineered protein selected from the group consisting of OCT4; KLF4; SOX2; or any combination thereof, an antibody capable of activating expression of OCT4; KLF4; SOX2; or any combination thereof, and methods of treating a (e.g., ocular disease), preventing a disease (e.g., ocular disease), regulating (e.g., inducing or inducing and then stopping) cellular reprogramming, regulating tissue repair, regulating tissue regeneration, or any combination thereof).

The present invention relates to CX3CR1-binding polypeptides, in particular polypeptides comprising specific immunoglobulin domains. The invention also relates to nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides; to methods for preparing such polypeptides; to host cells expressing or capable of expressing such polypeptides; to compositions comprising such polypeptides; and to uses of such polypeptides or such compositions, in particular for prophylactic, therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Provided herein, in part, is a method of treating a neurological or movement disorder in a patient in need thereof, comprising subcutaneously administering to said patient a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising levodopa and optionally carbidopa and optionally entacapone or tolcapone, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein said composition is administered substantially continuously, and compositions that can be used in the disclosed methods.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

The present invention relates to a cholesterol-synthesis intermediate as pharmaceutically active agent and/or pharmaceutical composition comprising the cholesterol-synthesis intermediate optionally together with one or two further pharmaceutically active agent(s) for use in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of demyelinating disorders/diseases, in particular multiple sclerosis.

Disclosed are novel nitrilated psilocybin derivative compounds and pharmaceutical and recreational drug formulations containing the same. The compounds may be produced by reacting a reactant psilocybin derivative with a nitrile-group containing compound.

An object of the present invention is to provide a compound that can be used as a more superior therapeutic agent for central nervous system diseases. The present invention provides a dihydrate of 7-[4-(4-benzo[b]thiophen-4-yl-piperazin-1-yl)butoxy]-1H-quinolin-2-one or of a salt thereof, and a process for producing the same

Methods of treating or reducing risk of developing cardiomyopathy or heart failure in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4).

The present invention relates to the field of medicine. More specifically, the present invention relates to compounds that are sigma-1 receptor agonists and their use for the treatment of central nervous system disorders, including cognitive or neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis.
