The present invention provides engineered platelets with chimeric platelet receptors (CPR) with a desired target specificity. Additionally, the engineered platelets may comprise cargo which may be released upon activation of the platelet. Additionally, the platelets may be generated in vitro from megakaryocytes engineered to generate non-thrombogemc platelets.

The present disclosure relates generally to therapeutic use of pimavanserin or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof. More specifically, the present disclosure provides methods for treating schizophrenia by administering pimavanserin or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof as an adjunct therapy in a patient who has an inadequate response to another antipsychotic therapy.

The present disclosure relates generally to novel approaches to activate integrin signaling in order to overcome CD47 checkpoint inhibition and to promote macrophage phagocytic signaling pathway. The disclosure also provides methods and compositions for treatment of cancer, including solid tumor and hematologic malignancy, by promoting macrophage-mediated engulfment of cancer cells. Use of integrin activation in combination with adoptive transfer of engineered macrophages to increase engulfment of cancer cells is also provided.

The present invention relates to a human CD123-targeting chimeric receptor ligand, comprising an IL-3 molecule-based CD123 binding domain, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular signaling domain. The present invention provides a T cell modified by the human CD123-targeting chimeric receptor ligand and capable of specifically binding with CD123 on tumor cell surfaces, thereby having specific cytotoxicity on tumor cells. The present invention further relates to an application of the human CD123-targeting chimeric receptor ligand and an immune effector cell thereof in preparing an anti-tumor immunotherapy drug.

The present invention provides engineered platelets with chimeric platelet receptors (CPR) with a desired target specificity. Additionally, the engineered platelets may comprise cargo which may be released upon activation of the platelet. Additionally, the platelets may be generated in vitro from megakaryocytes engineered to generate non-thrombogemc platelets.

A transgenic mouse comprising T30A, S32P, Q33L, N39D, and M470Q mutations in GPIIIa, as well as methods for making the transgenic mouse and methods for using the transgenic mouse to screen test compounds are described.

Described herein are muscle-specific targeting moieties and compositions including the muscle specific targeting motifs. Also described herein are uses of the muscle-specific targeting motifs and compositions including the muscle specific targeting moieties. In some embodiments, the muscle-specific targeting moieties and compositions including the muscle specific targeting moieties can be used to direct delivery of a cargo to a muscle cell.

The present disclosure relates to chimeric engulfment receptor molecules, host cells modified to include the phagocytic engulfment molecules, and methods of making and using such receptor molecules and modified cells.

The present application relates to compounds which are integrin antagonists. Methods of preparing the integrin antagonists and methods of treating diseases and disorders associated with abnormal levels and/or expression of one or more integrins are also provided.

The present invention relates to a nanocoil-substrate complex for controlling adhesion and differentiation of stem cells, a manufacturing method thereof, and a method of controlling adhesion and differentiation of stem cells by using the nanocoil-substrate complex, and the method of controlling adhesion and differentiation of stem cells may temporally and reversibly control adhesion and phenotypic differentiation of stem cells in vivo and ex vivo by controlling application/non-application of a magnetic field to the nanocoil-substrate complex.
