Disclosed are hydrogel matrixes for use in recruitment and reprogramming of CAR T cells, CAR NK cells, CAR NK T cells, CAR macrophage, Tumor infiltrating NK cells, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and marrow infiltrating lymphocytes.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for making and using a rapid dissolving, high potency, substantially amorphous nanostructured aggregate for pulmonary delivery of tacrolimus and a stabilizer matrix comprising, optionally, a polymeric or non-polymeric surfactant, a polymeric or non-polymeric saccharide or both, wherein the aggregate comprises a surface area greater than 5 m.sup.2/g as measured by BET analysis and exhibiting supersaturation for at least 0.5 hours when 11-15-times the aqueous crystalline solubility of tacrolimus is added to simulated lung fluid.

Provided herein are methods for treating a pulmonary infection in a patient in need thereof, for example, a nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection for at least one treatment cycle. The method comprises administering to the lungs of the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a liposomal complexed aminoglycoside comprising a lipid component comprising electrically neutral lipids and an aminoglycoside. Administration comprises aerosolizing the pharmaceutical composition to provide an aerosolized pharmaceutical composition comprising a mixture of free aminoglycoside and liposomal complexed aminoglycoside, and administering the aerosolized pharmaceutical composition via a nebulizer to the lungs of the patient. The methods provided herein result in a change from baseline on the semi-quantitative scale for mycobacterial culture for a treated patient, and/or NTM culture conversion to negative during or after the administration period.

Provided are methods for treating Paramyxoviridae virus infections by administering ribosides, riboside phosphates and prodrugs thereof, of Formula I: ##STR00001##
wherein the 1′ position of the nucleoside sugar is substituted. The compounds, compositions, and methods provided are particularly useful for the treatment of Human parainfluenza and Human respiratory syncytial virus infections.

A method of treating or preventing inflammation in the lung by administering a high concentration of an inhaled chelating agent.

Nanoparticles coated with extracellular matrix (ECM) are provided, in some aspects, for the delivery of a therapeutic protein, nucleic acid, or drug. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles are delivered to a subject via inhalation or aerosol delivery. Also provided, in some aspects, are methods for treating acute lung injury comprising administering α-Klotho (αKlotho) protein or DNA to a subject.

Formulations of human amniotic fluid and methods of use thereof for treatment of lung disorders, and/or injuries have been developed. The formulations are suitable for topical delivery to the lung for treatment of lung disorders including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD), asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, interstitial lung disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin emphysema, as well as for treatment of acute lung injuries. Methods including administering specifically formulated, diluted sterile de-cellularized human amniotic fluids topically to the lungs, preferably as aerosol droplets, are described. In particular, the methods involving administration of the amniotic fluid formulation in the form of aerosol droplets with size between about 1.5 μm to about 5 μm, preferably from about 2.5 μm to about 3.5 μm, inclusive, using apparatus such as high-efficiency vibrating mesh nebulizers, are described. Formulations described can treat, or prevent one or more symptoms of a chronic lung disorder.

A method of treating or preventing inflammation in the lung by administering a high concentration of an inhaled chelating agent.

The present invention relates to a hepatitis B vaccine composition for spray-administration to nasal mucosa for preventing and treating hepatitis B, which comprises hepatitis B antigen and carboxy vinyl polymer.

Methods for modulating lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and Apoliprotein C2 (ApoC2) expression and/or activity in the treatment of peripheral and central nervous system tissue disease states with C-6 substituted estradiol derivatives are presented herein.
