The present invention relates to polymeric nanoparticles comprising a cytokine or a nucleic acid encoding for a cytokine, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods for treating certain diseases comprising administering these polymeric nanoparticles to a subject in need thereof.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases, disorders, and/or conditions associated with the increased regulatory T lymphocyte cell function, comprising the administration of T-cell checkpoint inhibitors in combination with E-selectin inhibitors, C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 4 (CXCR4) receptor inhibitors, and/or heterobifunctional inhibitors that comprise at least one E-selectin inhibitor linked to at least one CXCR4 receptor inhibitor, are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and compositions for inhibiting or protecting against diseases arising from constitutively active G protein. In particular, the disclosure provides administration of FR900359, YM-254890 or a derivative thereof to down-regulate constitutively active Gα signaling, and is therefore useful in treatment for uveal melanoma, growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumors, tumors derived from Nevus of Ota, certain forms of other cancers (e.g. colon, lung, adenocarcinoma, skin melanoma, thyroid adenomas), cholera, Sturge-Weber Syndrome and other disorders.

The invention relates to methods, systems and kits for determining therapeutic effectiveness or toxicity of cancer-treating compounds that incorporate into or bind to DNA. In particular, the invention is directed to methods, systems and kits for predicting a patient's treatment outcome after administration of a microdose of therapeutic composition to the patient. The methods provides physicians with a diagnostic tool to segregate cancer patients into differential populations that have a higher or lower chance of responding to a particular therapeutic treatment.
