Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome.

A person's intestinal (gut), oral or skin microbiota is modified using specific combinations of pre-biotics, pro-biotics and/or anti-biotics to establish a defined microbiota that can treat and/or reduce the likelihood that individuals will experience various diseases, including cancer. The employment of various bacteria, whether in particular combinations or after being modified using CRISPR-type systems, leads to improved outcomes when checkpoint inhibitors are used to treat various forms of cancer. One embodiment is directed to a method for reducing the likelihood of developing cancer by providing in the gut of an individual a population of beneficial bacteria selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus species. The level of Roseburia and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and/or Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria are increased in the individual's gut microbiome such that when an individual is administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor, its function is enhanced due to the presence of the bacterial population.

A cell-penetrating peptide has remarkably excellent cell penetration efficiency, and is capable of penetrating 100% into all cells within 1 hour even in an environment including serum or sera, as well as a stable structure. Therefore, it is possible to move a cargo into the cell while maintaining the function of the cargo without damaging the same.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to the field of Oncology, and in particular, embodiments directed to a method of ameliorating, treating, or preventing a malignancy in a human subject wherein the steps of the method assist or boost the immune system in eradicating cancerous cells. Certain embodiments are directed to the field of human longevity and aging in a manner such that cancer is not contracted due to ameliorating, treating, or reducing aging by increasing the healthspan and lifespan of humans. In certain embodiments, administration of beneficial bacteria to an individual's microbiome that have been modified so as to produce effective amounts of desired compositions, compounds, agents, e.g. tomatidine, rapamycin, p53 protein, statins, etc., is employed to treat and prevent cancer and other age-related diseases.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for inhibiting a cancer cell using nucleic acid sequences encoding elephant p53 or elephant p53 amino acid sequences.

Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome.

A method and system for modulating an individual's microbiome in a manner such that individuals who are overweight, obese and/or suffer from cardiometabolic diseases and/or inflammatory bowel diseases are able to reduce the incidence of chronic conditions and diseases associated therewith. Certain embodiments are directed to a method and bacterial formulations for reducing the likelihood of developing NAFLD and NASH.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for inhibiting a cancer cell using nucleic acid sequences encoding elephant p53 or elephant p53 amino acid sequences.

This invention provides methods to overcome the current limitations of immune checkpoint immunotherapy to provide more effective methods of treating cancer. In embodiments this invention provides a means of using of p53 gene therapy to augment immune checkpoint inhibition by combining antibodies targeting immune checkpoint molecules with SGT-53, a nanomedicine carrying a plasmid encoding human wild-type p53. This invention provides means of increasing tumor immunogenicity, enhancing both innate and adaptive immune responses, and reducing tumor-induced immunosuppression, sensitizing otherwise refractory tumors to anti-immune checkpoint antibodies. In other embodiments this invention also unexpectedly reduces immune-related toxicities that are seen with immunotherapies.

Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria, postbiotics, metabolites and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. One embodiment includes a topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus to ameliorate skin barrier damage and inflammation using unique combinations of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and other skin-beneficial ingredients, effectively treating inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne, through the production of tryptophan metabolites that act as AHR agonists.
