Compounds are described and characterized that bind guanine quadruplexes of DNA or RNA. Binding data and inhibition of growth data of five cancer cell lines are presented.

Methods of inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation using antibodies or peptide vaccines having binding specificity for the α subunit of the (Na.sup.++K.sup.+)-ATPase are provided, along with methods for inhibiting or preventing or treating thrombosis in a subject using such antibodies.

The present invention discloses a use of mitochondria to promote wound repair and/or healing. Specifically, when a certain amount of mitochondria or a composition containing a certain amount of mitochondria is administered to a wound, the effect of promoting wound repair or accelerating wound healing can be effectively achieved.

The methods and compositions described herein address the need in the art by providing compositions and methods for a therapy with an antibody that is specifically targeted to and/or retained intra- or peri-tumorally, limiting systemic exposure and reducing side-effects. Accordingly, aspects of the disclosure relate to a composition comprising an immunotherapeutic antibody operatively linked to an extracellular matrix (ECM)-affinity peptide. An ECM-affinity peptide is one that has affinity for an extracellular matrix protein.

Methods are described for treating a heart disease, comprising suspending c) mesenchymal stem cells in either a) a fibrinogen solution or b) a thrombin solution, thereby obtaining a cell suspension, and directly spraying the cell suspension on a disease site substantially at the same time with the other of a) the fibrinogen solution or b) the thrombin solution that is not used in the suspending.

Formulations and methods for activating signaling molecules outside a native physiological response are provided. The formulations can include an activator component and a signaling component containing both signaling molecules and mesenchymal stem cells. When a formulation containing both an activator component and a signaling component is injected into or applied to a treatment area, the activator component may activate the signaling molecules of the signaling component which in turn signal the mesenchymal stem cells of the signaling component to regrow, repair or otherwise provide a benefit to the treatment area.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for subcutaneous administration comprising a blood factor and a colloidal particle comprising about 0.5 to 20 mole percent of an amphipathic lipid derivatized with a biocompatible hydrophilic polymer, wherein the blood factor is not encapsulated in said colloidal particle.
