Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a coronavirus disease, and particularly its complications, in a subject infected with a pathogenic coronavirus, such as a subject infected with a SARS-CoV-2 or suffering from one or more signs or symptoms of COVID-19. The composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated or recombinant disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif (ADAMTS13) protein. The present disclosure further relates to methods for diagnosing a coagulopathy in subject infected with a coronavirus disease, particularly SARS-CoV-2, or suffering from one or more signs or symptoms of COVID-19. The method comprises testing for elevated levels of VWF, depressed levels of ADAMTS13, and the presence of UHMW VWF multimers. These factors, in combination, indicate the presence of a coagulopathy.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising xanthine or xanthine derivatives, kits thereof, and methods for treating fibrotic diseases by local administration.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising xanthine or xanthine derivatives, kits thereof, and methods for treating fibrotic diseases by local administration.

Provided are methods for repairing a wound or inducing the proliferative phase of a wound comprising administering a composition comprising a protease mixture comprising collagenases and a neutral protease to the wound in an amount effective for repair of wound tissue or for inducing the proliferative phase in the wound.

Methods and devices for tissue remodeling and repair of collagenous tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and bone, as well as scalable connective tissue manufacturing, are provided. Collagen fibers are assembled by extensional strain-induced flow crystallization of collagen monomers. Extensional strain also drives the fusion of already formed short collagen fibrils to produce long-range, continuous fibers. Wearable devices for controlled tissue remodeling and wound healing deliver a tissue remodeling solution to a tissue repair site. The remodeling solution, together with appropriate application of strain to the tissue remodeling site, accelerate healing, prevent injury, and reduce scar formation.

Provided herein are edible compositions for reducing semen viscosity and/or enhancing semen flavor, and methods of using and preparing such compositions.

Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of methods for inhibiting neuronal activity in NF1 tumors. One aspect of the disclosure provides for a method of inhibiting tumor growth comprising administering a neuronal activity inhibiting agent to a subject in need thereof. Another aspect of the disclosure provides for a method of attenuating neuronal excitability, activity-regulated mitogen production, and tumor progression comprising administering a neuronal activity inhibiting agent to a subject in need thereof. Yet another aspect of the disclosure provides for a method of activating HCN channels in a subject comprising administering a neuronal activity inhibiting agent to a subject in need thereof. Yet another aspect of the disclosure provides for a method of treating brain or and nerve tumors in Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) comprising administering a neuronal activity inhibiting agent to a subject in need thereof.

The present invention relates to an RNA encoding a therapeutic protein, in particular a collagenase, growth factor, cytokine, receptor, chaperone or signal transduction inhibitor. In particular, the present invention relates to RNA suitable for treatment of wounds, specifically for promoting wound healing. The present invention concerns such RNA as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits and combinations comprising the RNA. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the RNA, pharmaceutical compositions, kits as disclosed herein for use in the treatment of wounds, specifically for promoting wound healing.

Compositions containing microparticles loaded with one or protease enzymes and optionally auxiliary therapeutic agents and methods of treating conditions such as keloids therewith are disclosed. The biodegradable polymer and the protease enzyme therein form a controlled release matrix for extended release of the enzyme after administration to a mammal in need thereof.
