An engineered phage-derived particle (PDP) for expressing a transgene in a target cell transduced with a bacteriophage, the PDP includes (i) less than about 500 bp of DNA from the bacteriophage genome, (ii) an ITR-flanked therapeutic gene up to 20 kb, (iii) an endosomal escape sequence, (iv) a nuclear localization sequence, and (v) a cell-specific targeting moiety. The PDP may escape lysosomal degradation, traffic across the nuclear envelope and expressed a therapeutic gene in a mammalian cell.

Provided are octavalent influenza vaccine compositions comprising eight mRNA, each mRNA comprising an open reading frame encoding a different influenza antigen. Also provided are lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering said mRNA.

Provided herein are nanoparticle conjugated synthetic opioid prodrugs that target the peripheral mu opioid receptor (MOR). The prodrugs exhibit long-lived bioavailability, do not compromise the analgesic effects of opioids administered for pain relief (and in some cases can be used for pain relief), and do not induce opioid withdrawal symptoms, when their use is discontinued. Certain of the prodrugs are especially useful for the prevention and/or treatment of unwanted opioid-induced side effects such as opioid-induced constipation (OIC).

A hyperbranched polymer includes a hyperbranched, hydrophobic molecular core, respective low molecular weight polyethyleneimine chains attached to at least three branches of the hyperbranched, hydrophobic molecular core, and respective polyethylene glycol chains attached to at least two other branches of the hyperbranched, hydrophobic molecular core. Examples of the hyperbranched polymer may be used to form hyperbranched polyplexes, and may be included in DNA or RNA delivery systems.

A particulate, modified release barrier coated drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of a drug complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin is provided. Methods of making and products containing this coated complex are described.

The disclosure describes nanocarried and/or microcarried jasmonate compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions, as well as use thereof for treating or preventing angiogenesis-related or NF-κB-related disorders. Also disclosed are methods of making the nanocarried and/or microcarried compounds and their compositions.

A silybin injection contains silybin, sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin, an organic solvent for injection and may further contain a co-solvent, a lyophilization proppant, a pH regulator, water for injection and the like.

The invention provides compositions including stabilized multilamellar lipid vesicles having crosslinked lipid bilayers (referred to herein as interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles or ICMV) and including an ALK variant, pharmaceutical compositions containing vesicles (e.g., ICMV) including an ALK variant, and methods of treatment using such compositions. The invention provides compositions including stabilized multilamellar lipid vesicles with crosslinked lipid bilayers (e.g., an interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicle or ICMV) containing an Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) variant as an antigen that is associated with solid tumor cancers.

Covalently linked linear polyethylenimine (PEI) clusters are provided that change conformation depending upon changes in counterion concentrations. The structures may be used for the storage, delivery, and/or transport of substances.

The invention relates to a method for the stabilization of a polysaccharide (hyaluronic acid) with a biomolecule—amino acid—through crosslinking, to generate a bionic hydrogel based on physiological building blocks for applications in regenerative medicine. The designed biosimilar hydrogel is intended to be used in regenerative medicine for the purpose of regenerate, rejuvenate and/or restore the structure or function of impaired or damaged tissues, and to promote healing. The manufacture method is composed of a single step that includes mixing L-lysine and hyaluronic acid sodium salt in an aqueous saline solution with either EDC/NHS as coupling agent.
