The present invention concerns Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) for use in treatment of cystic fibrosis as a CFTR corrector, CFTR potentiator and anti-inflammatory agent.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for ophthalmic disease containing thymosin beta 4. The present invention is more effective in reducing xerophthalmia than an ophthalmic solution containing cyclosporine A, is less irritant to eyes than conventional ophthalmic solutions and is physiochemically safe.

The present invention relates to methods for promoting tissue repair, angiogenesis and cell migration. The method of the invention utilizes thymosin β4 (Tβ4) peptide to promote tissue repair, angiogenesis and cell migration. The invention further relates to modulating Tβ4 activity in tissues.

Without limitation, some embodiments comprise a method of treatment for promoting recovery of peripheral neuropathy in a subject, including administering to a subject in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprised of thymosin beta 4, amino acid sequences LKKTET or LKKTNT, and/or any conservative variants thereof, or an agent that stimulates production of any of those materials, or a conservative variant thereof.

This disclosure provides modified cytosine deaminases (CDs). The disclosure further relates to cells and vector expressing or comprising such modified CDs and methods of using such modified CDs in the treatment of disease and disorders.

The invention is directed to methods for treating nervous system injury and disease, in particular traumatic brain injury and degenerative nervous system disease. Such methods utilize novel compositions, including but not limited to trophic factor-secreting extraembryonic cells (herein referred to as TSE cells), including, but not limited to, amnion-derived multipotent progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution or ACCS), each alone or in combination with each other and/or other agents.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer or a metastasis thereof in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods involve administering a composition comprising therapeutically effective amount of at least one immune stimulator to the subject. In some embodiments, a combination of at least two immune stimulators is used for the treatment. In some embodiments, the combination includes an alpha thymosin peptide and an additional immune stimulator, and/or optionally one or more additional anti-cancer agents.

Provided herein is a method of treating medulloblastoma or glioblastoma in a subject by administering to the subject a PI3K activator (e.g., thymosin β-4 or a derivative thereof) and one or more chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation. The combination therapy is effective in the treatment of medulloblastoma or glioblastoma characterized by cells with elevated p53 levels.
