This disclosure relates to particles conjugated to therapeutic nucleic acids. In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid comprises a sequence that catalytically cleaves RNA, e.g., DNAzyme or RNAzyme. In certain embodiments, the particles contain nucleic acids with both DNAzyme and/or RNAzyme and siRNA sequences. The cleaving nucleic acids optionally comprise a sequence functioning to hybridize to a target of interest and/or the particles are further conjugated to a targeting moiety. In certain embodiments, conjugated particles are used in the treatment or prevention of cancer or viral infections or bacterial infections. In certain embodiments, conjugated particles are used in detecting metal ions and other small molecule analytes.

A therapeutic method for attenuating symptoms of inflammation and autoimmune diseases. This method includes preparing and administering to animals intraperitoneally or orally a metallic gold cluster complex preparation.

The present invention provides compositions and methods that promote wound healing in a subject with a cutaneous injury. In particular, the present invention provides systemic and/or local administration of one or more compositions that cause ganglioside depletion (e.g., glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) inhibitors) for the treatment of cutaneous wounds.

Peptides effective as delta opioid receptor agonists and compositions comprising same are provided. Further provided are methods for targeting medical conditions amenable to treatment with an opioid receptor agonist, including but not limited to, conditions involving pain as well as reducing cocaine craving.
