Provided herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds that are useful for the inhibition of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5a and 5b (STAT5). Furthermore, the subject compounds and compositions are useful for the treatment of cancer, such as, for example, breast cancer, hematological cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

The population of Coprococcus spp. bacteria in the gut microbiome is lower in people with various diseases. We have found that administration of vitamins / vitamin combinations such as : the combination of Vitamin B2 and C; Vitamin D3; beta-carotene, and Vitamin B5, when administered directly to the gut, so that it provides nourishment to the gut microbiome directly, can result in an increase of Coprococcus spp.

Methods and systems for performing 3-D LIDAR measurements of objects simultaneously illuminated by two or more beams of light in the far field are described herein. A 3-D LIDAR based measurement device simultaneously emits at least two beams of light into a three dimensional environment from different locations. A portion of the three dimensional environment is simultaneously illuminated by the two or more light beams at a distance of at least five meters from the LIDAR device. However, the two or more light beams do not overlap at a distance less than five meters from the LIDAR device. The beams of light are slightly divergent, having highest intensity at the device and steadily lower intensity further away. By overlapping illumination beams in the far field, but not near the LIDAR device, overall intensity is maintained at moderate levels throughout the field of view of the LIDAR device.

The present invention provides methods for determining the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by determining the molar water solubility of the anesthetic. The invention further provides methods for modulating the selectivity of an anesthetic for an anesthetic-sensitive receptor by altering or modifying the anesthetic to have higher or lower water solubility. The invention further provides methods of inducing anesthesia in a subject by administering via the respiratory pathways (e.g., via inhalational or pulmonary delivery) an effective amount of an anesthetic compound identified according to the present methods.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for increasing the expression of a blood coagulation factor gene, which contains core-shell structured microparticles as an active ingredient. When administered in vivo along with blood coagulation factor VIII gene or a variant gene thereof, the composition for increasing the expression of a blood coagulation factor gene of the present disclosure can increase the expression of the gene by at least 30%. When administered along with a gene therapeutic agent, the composition can achieve a therapeutic effect even with a very small amount of a gene, and thus is useful.
