The present invention relates to the field of chromatography. More closely, the invention relates to a chromatographic method for purification of plasmaproteins, such as Factor VIII, von Willebrand factor and Factor IX. The chromatographic method is performed on a matrix comprising an inner porous core and outer porous lid surrounding said core.

Biological small molecules, proteins or nucleic acids (target molecules, TM) are isolated in from biological media such as blood serum, cytoplasm, nucleoplasm etc. by a novel process (mate and separate) involving the use of PEGylated recognition molecule (PEG-RM) with high specificity and binding for TM, affording a macromolecular complex PEG-RM.TM, from which the target protein can be obtained in pure form.

Described herein are polypeptides comprising an IGF2 amino acid sequence and an amino acid sequence from a heterologous polypeptide useful for the treatment of soft-tissue and muscle diseases, disorders, and injuries. Mutations within the IGF2 amino acid sequence improved the stability of the molecule by reducing backbone cleavage. Also described herein are synergistic combinations of an Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) agonist and a short chain fatty acid. Also described are methods of treating muscle and soft-tissue diseases comprising administering the polypeptides and/or synergistic compositions.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for the preparation and use of free fatty acids as crystals and in solution, optionally in array format, for assay of lipotoxicity and related effects (in certain cases, indicators of diseases or disorders, such as type II diabetes) in contacted cells. Identification and therapeutic targeting of high-value gene targets discovered via joint assessment of lipotoxicity/transcriptome data and genetic association study data are also provided.

Complexes containing a labeled polypeptide and an antibody, and the use of such complexes as research, diagnostic, and clinical tools, are described herein.

Described herein are novel methods for fractionating and isolating platelets, platelet- and extracellular vesicle-derived growth factors, exosomes, globulins, fibrinogen and albumin, and methods of using the isolated platelets, platelet and extracellular vesicle-derived growth factors, exosomes, globulins, fibrinogen and albumin for regenerating tissue in a subject, treating fibrinogenemia or a clotting deficiency in a subject, treating ischemia and hypoxia, treating dry-eye syndrome, an orthopedic disorder, or a dental disorder in a subject. Also described herein are growth media for culturing mammalian (e g , human) cells.

The present invention relates to a process of preparation of a biomaterial comprising the steps of: a) Preparing a solution comprising at least one protein having a solubility in water superior or equal to about 10 mg/mL and at least one salt having solubility in water superior or equal to about 500 mg/mL, b) Evaporating the solution obtained in step a) as is, as a foam obtained by foaming the solution obtained in step a), or as a mixture thereof, at a temperature comprised of from 4 to 50° C. in atmospheric pressure or at lower temperatures under vacuum or at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, until the formation of two non-miscible phases or until obtaining a substantially dry solid, thereby obtaining a biomaterial.

The present invention also relates to a biomaterial obtainable by the process, and to the use of the biomaterial as a support for in vitro tissue engineering and/or for in vitro cell culture and in vitro expansion and/or as an implantable medical device, or as a drug.
