Described herein in part are silanol based therapeutic payloads comprising a silanol terminus, a divalent spacer moiety, and a drug moiety capable of effecting a target cell or tissue.

The present invention relates to bispecific compounds, compositions, and methods for treating diseases or conditions characterized or mediated by aberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) activity.

Cyclooctene conjugates of therapeutic or diagnostic agents have improved aqueous solubility and can release the agents upon contact with a tetrazine-containing biomaterial. The cyclooctene conjugates provide site-selective delivery of agents at the location of the tetrazine-containing biomaterial in a subject. The compositions and methods have applications in the treatment of various diseases or conditions including cancer, tumor growths, and bacterial infections.

A method of detecting triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is provided. Overexpression of ICAM-1 is linked to an increased risk of TNBC. A composition of matter is also provided that binds an anti-ICAM~1 antibody to a nanoparticle. The composition may be used as an imaging agent and/or a therapeutic targeting agent. A therapeutically active molecule may be bound to the composition to provide targeted therapy.

The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a patient with a cancer by administering to the patient a composition comprising CAR T cells wherein the CAR T cells comprise a CAR and the CAR comprises an E2 anti-fluorescein antibody fragment, and administering to the patient a small molecule linked to a targeting moiety by a linker. The disclosure also relates to compositions for use in such methods.

The compositions and methods provide herein include, inter alia, antibodies attached to single-stranded oligoribonucleotides. Two antibodies are capable of forming complexes in vivo through hybridization of the respective complementary oligoribonucleotides they are bound to. For example, a first antibody bound to a first oligoribonucleotide through a first chemical linker may be administered to a subject, bind to a cell surface antigen in vivo and subsequently form an antibody complex in vivo with a second antibody bound to a second oligoribonucleotide through a second chemical linker, through complementary base-pairing between the first and the second oligoribonucleotide. The compositions and methods provided herein are, inter alia, useful for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, for example, the treatment of cancer or autoimmune disease.

Disclosed are bifunctional compounds (degraders) that target LRKK2 for degradation. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing the degraders and methods of using the degraders to treat neurodegenerative diseases and disorders such as Parkinson's disease and brain cancer (e.g., gliomas and glioblastomas).

A functional gadolinium contrast agent comprising a gadolinium cation and a ligand secured to the gadolinium cation is disclosed, the ligand comprising a reactive group capable of bonding to a capture substrate. A method of removing gadolinium contrast agents from a patient is disclosed, the method comprising providing a gadolinium contrast agent containing a reactive group; providing a capture substrate for insertion into a patient's bloodstream; administering the gadolinium contrast agent to the patient; conducting a magnetic resonance imaging procedure; and sequestering the gadolinium contrast agent on the capture substrate. A system for removing gadolinium contrast agents is also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are methods for drug delivery, as well as kits for drug delivery.

Described are novel targeting ligands that may be linked to compounds, such therapeutic compounds that are useful in directing the compounds to the in vivo target. The targeting ligands disclosed herein can serve to target expression-inhibiting oligomeric compounds, such as RNAi agents, to liver cells to modulate gene expression. The targeting ligands disclosed herein, when conjugated to a therapeutic compound, may be used in a variety of applications, including use in therapeutic, diagnostic, target validation, and genomic discovery applications. Compositions including the targeting ligands disclosed herein when linked to expression-inhibiting oligomeric compounds are capable of mediating expression of target nucleic acid sequences in liver cells, such as hepatocytes, which may be useful in the treatment of diseases or conditions that respond to inhibition of gene expression or activity in a cell, tissue, or organism.
