Disclosed are a sensitizing composition for thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves and a method of treating cancer using the composition. The sensitizing composition includes a metal ion, a metal ion-bound material, metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin (transferrin), or a metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin derivative. The sensitizing composition enables selective delivery of the metal ion to tumorous tissue when administered in vivo, and thus the generation of heat in tumorous tissue in which the metal ion accumulates is increased upon thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves, thereby maximizing efficacy of thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves in treating cancer. Thermal therapy using the sensitizing composition effectively treats cancer without pain or side effects and is thus expected to be widely useful in anticancer treatment as monotherapy, and/or in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination thereof, ultimately increases the potential to cure cancer.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising probiotic and prebiotic components, mineral salts, lactoferrin, and possibly saccharomycetes, which perform correct, effective colonisation of the probiotic components administered, with enteric consequences which involve maintaining and/or restoring intestinal health and preventing the consequences of common dysbioses of the digestive tract caused by stress, incorrect dietary habits and antibiotic treatments. Said compositions also have a concomitant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating action.

A composition inhibiting MEIS proteins. The MEIS proteins are effective in proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells. A formulation capable of easily passing through the cell membrane and perform its activity in the cell, and can inhibit MEIS activity in a dose dependent manner. The combination includes isolated cells, medium, growth factors and MEISi inhibitor. The isolated cells are isolated from mouse bone marrow, human bone marrow and human umbilical cord blood. The medium has a pH value of 7.2 and contains bovine serum albumin, recombinant insulin, transferrin, 2-mercaptoethanol and IMDM medium. The growth factors are hematopoietic stem cell factor SCF, fetus liver tyrosine kinase-3 ligand Flt3L, and thrombopoietin. A chemical formula of the MEISi-1 is 4-[2-(benzylamino)-2-oxoethoxy]-N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl) benzamide. A chemical formula of MEISi-2 is 4-hydroxy-N′-[(Z)-(2-oxonaphthalen-1-ylidene)methyl] benzohydrazide.

Provided herein are deglycosylating enzymes that remove a broad range of N-glycans from N-glycosylated proteins. Further provided are methods of recombinantly producing and expressing the deglycosylating enzymes. The presently described deglycosylating enzymes can be used to produce free glycans for characterization, and for prebiotic and immunostimulatory uses. In addition, the presently described deglycosylating enzymes can be used to produce deglycosylated proteins for characterization, to improve digestion, and to reduce immunogenicity.
