The present invention relates to a composition including stem cell-derived microvesicles as an active ingredient for promoting neurogenesis. The stem cell-derived microvesicles according to the present invention can promote neurogenesis and migration of nerves and also promote angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells, and thus can be usefully used in treatment of neurological damage.

The present invention relates to novel methods for treating or preventing coronavirus infection and cytokine-associated toxicity, including cytokine toxicity resulting from aberrant activation of the immune system in coronavirus disease or infection, such as those from SARS-CoV-2.

A protein comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 97% homology to SEQ ID NO: 1. The amino acid sequence comprises valine at position 60, glycine at position 123 and lysine at position 109 and the protein binds hIL17A.

This document relates to conjugates of TNF inhibitors or derivatives thereof and functionalized (e.g., mono- or bi-functional) polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol and related polymers) as well as methods and materials for making and using such conjugates.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating or preventing ulcers in subjects having low red blood cell levels and/or hemoglobin levels (e.g, anemia). In some embodiments, the compositions of the disclosure may be used to treat or prevent ulcers associated with anemia.

The invention provides a method for the treatment of Ph+ leukemia in a patient comprising administering to the patient (i) a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and (ii) an agent which selectively binds to a cell surface receptor expressed on Ph+ leukemic stem cells. The invention further provides for the use of (i) and (ii) in, or in the manufacture of a medicament for, the treatment of Ph+ leukemia in a patient; and a composition for the treatment of Ph+ leukemia in a patient comprising (i) and (ii); and kits comprising (i) and (ii). In some embodiments, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor is or is not imatinib; or is selected from the group consisting of dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, axitinib, cediranib, crizotinib, damnacanthal, gefitinib, lapatinib, lestaurtinib, neratinib, semaxanib, sunitinib, toceranib, tyrphostins, vandetanib, vatalanib, INNO-406, AP24534, XL228, PHA-739358, MK-0457, SGX393 and DC2036; or is selected from the group consisting of dasatinib and nilotinib. In some embodiments, the agent binds to a receptor involved in signalling by at least one of IL-3, G-CSF and GM-CSF. In some embodiments, the agent is a mutein selected from the group consisting of IL-3 muteins, G-CSF muteins and GM-CSF muteins. In some embodiments, the mutein is an IL-3 mutein. In some embodiments, the agent is a soluble receptor which is capable of binding to IL-3.
