There is provided a structure support arrangement for supporting a structure, the structure support arrangement comprising: a body member; a nesting formation defined on the body member and configured to prevent lateral movement of the structure support arrangement in at least one transverse direction when the structure support arrangement is nested with a further structure support arrangement; and a post receiving formation defined on the body member and configured for receiving a support post to support the structure.

This invention relates to LY6G6F, VSIG10, TMEM25 and LSR proteins, which are suitable targets for immunotherapy, treatment of cancer, infectious disorders, and/or immune related disorders, and drug development. This invention further relates to soluble LY6G6F, VSIG10, TMEM25 and LSR molecules, extracellular domains of LY6G6F, VSIG10, TMEM25 and LSR and conjugates, which are suitable drugs for immunotherapy, treatment of cancer, infectious disorders, and/or immune related disorders. This invention further relates to antibodies and antigen binding fragments and conjugates containing same, and/or alternative scaffolds, specific for LY6G6F, VSIG10, TMEM25 or LSR molecules, which are suitable drugs for immunotherapy, treatment of cancer, infectious disorders, and/or immune related disorders.

Genetic biomarkers for left side colon cancer (LCC) (such as expression levels of an RNA transcript or expression product of NOX4, MMP3, or a combination) and right side colon cancer (RCC) (such as expression levels of an RNA transcript or expression product of CDCX2, FAM69A, or a combination), are disclosed. Methods for using the biomarkers in providing a prognosis of relapse-free survival probability in patients having LCC or RCC are also presented. Prognostic panels using gene expression values of the biomarkers are also presented. Computer implemented methods employing the biomarkers, and as well as for determining relapse-free survival probability in a patient having RCC or LCC are provided. A genetic method for classifying a colon cancer tissue as a RCC or as a LCC is also disclosed.

The present invention concerns methods and compositions for evoking protective immune responses against pathogen infection or cancer. In certain embodiments, the methods and compositions comprise a lymphangiogenesis inducer and an antigen.

The present disclosure relates to compounds that are useful as near-infrared fluorescence probes, wherein the compounds include i) a ligand that binds to the active site of carbonic anhydrase, ii) a dye molecule, and iii) a linker molecule that comprises an amino acid, amide, ureido, or polyethylene glycol derivative thereof. The disclosure further describes methods and compositions for making and using the compounds, methods incorporating the compounds, and kits incorporating the compounds.

The present application relates to polypeptides derived from the soluble part of the glycoprotein of the enveloped virus of Primate T-cell leukemia virus (PTLV), or fragments or variants thereof named receptor binding domain ligands (RBD) selected for their ability to bind specifically to the nutrient transporter GLUT1.

Methods of inhibiting LSD1 activity by administering a compound that binds to SWIRM domain of LSD1 and inhibits LSD1 activity; methods of inhibiting LSD1 activity where the compound interacts with L547 residue within the hydrophobic pocket of LSD1; methods of determining the efficacy of a drug to be an LSD1 inhibitor wherein a candidate drug is screened to determine whether it binds to SWIRM domain of LSD1 and inhibits LSD1 activity.

The invention provides a method for identifying a patient with cancer or suspected of having cancer as a patient likely to respond to an ALK- and/or ROS-inhibiting therapeutic, comprising: contacting a biological sample from a patient with a first reagent that specifically binds a polypeptide having ROS kinase activity and a second reagent that specifically binds to a polypeptide having ALK knase activity, and detecting whether the first reagent or the second reagent specifically binds to the biological sample, wherein detection of binding of either the first reagent or the second reagent to the biological sample identifies the patient as a patient likely to respond to an ALK-inhibiting and/or ROS-inhibiting therapeutic.

The present invention relates to the identification of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences that are characteristic of tumor tissues, in particular tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) such as glioma, in particular glioblastoma and which represent targets for therapy or diagnosis of tumor diseases in a subject.

New methods for identifying patents with hematuria who are at low risk of having urothelial cancer (UC) include combining selected phenotypic variables with levels of genotypic expression into a new metric, the “G+P INDEX.” The G+P INDEX combines age, sex, smoking history, presence of hematuria, and frequency of hematuria with genotypic expression of the genetic markers, MDK, CDC2, HOXA13, IGFBP5, and optionally IL8Rb, then determining of the G+P INDEX value obtained for a patient is within one of three groups, either: (1) at High Risk of UC, (2) at Risk of UC, or (3) at Low Risk of UC. For groups 1 and 2, further clinical and laboratory work up is indicated, and patients in group 3 are monitored periodically to determine the need for further clinical workup. Using the G+P INDEX can save substantial time, effort, and funds by avoiding unnecessary medical diagnostic procedures for patients at Low Risk of UC.
