The present invention relates, in part, to, chimeric proteins which include the extracellular domain of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) and their use in the treatment of diseases, such as immunotherapies for cancer and/or an inflammatory disease.

The present invention relates to a metal phase transformation compound and a method for preparing the same.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or conditions comprising administration of a therapeutic biological molecule, and/or naturally or artificially occurring derivatives, analogues, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, alone or in combination with one or more active agents (e.g., an aromatic-cationic peptide). The present technology provides compositions related to aromatic-cationic peptides linked to a therapeutic biological molecule and uses of the same. In some embodiments, the aromatic-cationic peptide comprises 2′,6′-dimethyl-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, Phe-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH.sub.2, or D-Arg-2′,6′-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH.sub.2.

Disclosed are crystalline forms of L-Lys(Boc)-Phe-NH.sub.2 and Boc-D-Arg-DMT.

A method for producing an amide includes: reacting arginines, arginine derivatives or arginine analogs in which two amino groups or imino groups in the side chain are protected by protecting groups with a halogenated formate ester and then reacting with an amine.

Disclosed herein are transfection complexes comprising at least one cell surface ligand; at least one helper lipid component; and a transfection enhancer. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed transfection complexes, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Further, disclosed are methods of transfecting a cell, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a transfection complex as disclosed; and contacting a cell with the transfection complex.

The disclosure provides compositions and methods relating to aromatic-cationic peptides. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide to subjects in need thereof. For example, the peptides may be administered to subjects in need of a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant.

Disclosed are crystalline forms of L-Lys(Boc)-Phe-NH.sub.2 and Boc-D-Arg-DMT.
