Described herein is the design and construction of a class of lipoprotein targeting protease inhibitors. Small peptides with protease inhibitor activity are conjugated to hydrophobic, lipoprotein targeting molecules using, for instance, amine reactive chemistry. Methods of use of the resultant lipoprotein targeting protease inhibitor (antiprotease) molecules are also described. Also described is the production and use of protease inhibitor enriched HDL particles, as well as A1AT-peptide-enriched HDL particles, and their use in various therapeutic contexts.

Disclosed herein are plant messenger packs (PMPs) encapsulating one or more exogenous polypeptides. Also disclosed are methods of producing a PMP comprising an exogenous polypeptide.

This invention relates to a topical gel drug product preparation containing a composition comprising an isolated polypeptide having a carboxy-terminal amino acid sequence of an alpha connexin (ACT peptide), peptide stabilizers, excipients, buffering agents, and the like. A formulation and preparation steps are disclosed for the manufacturing of a stable, elegant, and pourable topical gel. The resulting formulation possesses long term stability suitable for aesthetic as well as therapeutic applications including the prevention of scaring and accelerated healing of wounds. Methods for treatment of chronic wounds, including chronic ulcers, are also provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include formulations of silk-based product (SBP) formulations and related methods of preparation and use in a variety of applications in the fields of human therapeutics, veterinary medicine, agriculture, and material science.

The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing AIBD.

Provided are methods and compositions relating to a dental composition more specifically to prepare the damaged dentin of the tooth prior to repair. The dental compositions include a bioactive glass and a non-aqueous solvent comprising an alcohol, anti-inflammatory and anti-pain reliver.

The present disclosure relates to compositions capable of absorbing UVA and UVB light. In particle, the present disclosure relates to UV screening compositions comprising at least a portion of LITE-1 polypeptides which are capable of absorbing UV light (e.g., UV-A and/or UV-B light).

The teachings provided herein generally relate to a combination therapy and are directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for administering a combination of an α5β1 antagonist with an α2β1 antagonist to a subject. The methods are for use in inhibiting, preventing, or reversing angiogenesis, as well as in treating cancer. In some embodiments, the compositions and methods include a combined administration of VLO4 and VP12 (ECL12).
