The disclosure provides methods, compositions, and kits for enhanced detection of microbes in samples and monitoring of antimicrobial activity in a subject.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect Chitinase-3-like protein 1 as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays in renal injuries.

The invention relates generally to polypeptides comprising a lectin domain, multimeric proteins comprising the polypeptides, and use of the polypeptides or multimeric proteins in the detection of a carbohydrate (e.g., a sialic acid containing carbohydrate or Siglec ligand) or the treatment of a Siglec-mediated disorder.

Disclosed are biomarker panels for evaluating subjects at risk of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of one or more of ST2, ANG2, L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 for prognosing, diagnosing, and/or treating SOS.

Disclosed is a calibrator comprising IgA having a biotin group and a biotin-binding site, the calibrator being used to obtain a concentration of an IgA aggregate in a sample.

Disclosed herein are methods for identifying a subject as having certain solid cancers such as breast cancer, colorectal colon cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer, or being at risk for the cancer based on the level of Galectin-9 in a biological sample (e.g., a blood sample) from a subject suspected of having the solid cancer.

The present invention provides biological molecules for use in detecting, identifying and/or removing microbes and microbial components; diagnostic, therapeutic and filtration devices comprising the biological molecules; and systems and methods for treating fluids using the biological molecules and devices of the invention.

Provided herein are, inter alia, methods and systems for the in silico design of peptide inhibitors for proteins comprising disordered domains; Galectin-3 inhibitors; and methods for treating and detecting diseases that overexpress or inappropriately express Galectin-3.

The field of this invention relates to immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) for the targeted detection and mapping of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and miRNAs) in tissues or cells for example, for research use and for clinical use such by pathologists (e.g., biomarker analyses of a resected tumor or tumor biopsy). In particular, the use of mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) as a mode to detect and map the biomolecules in tissues or cells for example. More specifically, the field of this invention relates to photocleavable mass-tag reagents which are attached to probes such as antibodies and nucleic acids and used to achieve multiplex immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, with MSI as the mode of detection/readout. Probe types other than antibodies and nucleic acids are also covered in the field of invention, including but not limited to carbohydrate-binding proteins (e.g., lectins), receptors and ligands. Finally, the field of the invention also encompasses multi-omic MSI procedures, where MSI of photocleavable mass-tag probes is combined with other modes of MSI, such as direct label-free MSI of endogenous biomolecules from the biospecimen (e.g., tissue), whereby said biomolecules can be intact or digested (e.g., chemically digested or by enzyme).

Tools for identifying risk of cerebral edema in a stroke patient are provided and include a method that involves identifying risk of cerebral edema when cytokines and chemokines are detected in a systemic blood sample from the subject.
