The present application provides materials and methods for treating a patient with a titin-based myopathy, particularly a titin-based cardiomyopathy, and/or other titinopathy. In addition, the present application provides materials and methods for editing the titin gene in a cell by genome editing.

Composite materials made of a citrate, a calcium carbonate-containing material and an association moiety which is associated with the citrate and the calcium carbonate-containing material are provided. The composite materials are typically particulate materials (e.g., powdery materials). Compositions and articles-of-manufacturing containing and/or configured for applying the composite materials are also provided, as well as their use in inducing blood coagulation and arresting hemorrhage, including internal and/or massive hemorrhage.

A renal cortex targeting elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), a renal medulla and cortex targeting ELP, and a method of treating a renal disorder are provided. The renal cortex targeting ELP includes up to 95 repeat units having the sequence VPGXG (SEQ ID NO: 1), where X in each of the repeat units is any amino acid except proline. The renal medulla and cortex targeting ELP includes at least 95 repeat units of SEQ ID NO: 1, where X in each of the repeat units is any amino acid except proline. The method of treating a renal disorder includes administering an ELP and a therapeutic drug to a subject in need thereof, where the ELP includes up to 671 repeat units of SEQ ID NO: 1 and X in each of the repeat units is any amino acid except proline.
