The invention relates to an anti-CD16A antigen binding protein for use in NK cell-based immunotherapy, wherein the anti-CD16A antigen binding protein is to be administered intermittently and in combination with a cytokine. In certain embodiments the antigen binding protein is a tetravalent and bispecific CD30/CD16A tandem diabody.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods utilizing hair follicle derived Non-Bulbar Dermal Sheath cells for use in the treatment or prevention of the tendon injuries.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods utilizing hair follicle derived Non-Bulbar Dermal Sheath cells for use in the treatment or prevention of the tendon injuries.

Cells derived from human umbilical cords are disclosed along with methods for their therapeutic use. Isolation techniques, culture methods and detailed characterization of the cells with respect to their cell surface markers, gene expression, and their secretion of trophic factors are described.

A composition for influencing biological growth including live cells, a fluid comprising dextrose, a protectant, and a first cytokine having a first concentration within the composition as described within the present disclosure.

A p38 MAPK inhibitor for use in the treatment or prevention of severe influenza in a human patient. In some embodiments, the severe influenza maybe characterised by hypercytokinemia involving elevated levels of one or more pro-inflammatory cytokines. The p38 MAP kinase inhibitor may act to inhibit the release of such pro-inflammatory mediators from endothelial cells. In some embodiments, the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor may inhibit the release of IP 10 from endothelial cells, preferably in a dose-dependent manner.

A method of modulating transdifferentiation of chondrocytes to osteoblast includes administering to the chondrocytes an agent that modulates GP130 receptor signaling and expression of at least one of Sox2, Oct4, or Nanog of the chondrocytes.

A method for the treatment of cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition, or variant of said composition, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a systemic immunomodulatory anticancer agent. A further method for the treatment of cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition, or variant of said composition, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a systemic targeted anticancer agent. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of cancer. The intralesional chemoablative pharmaceutical composition can comprise an IL chemoablative agent comprising primarily a halogenated xanthene.
