The present invention concerns methods and compositions for delivery of therapeutic agents to target cells, tissues or organisms. In preferred embodiments, the therapeutic agents are delivered in the form of therapeutic-loaded polymers that may comprise many copies of one or more therapeutic agents. In more preferred embodiments, the polymer may be conjugated to a peptide moiety that contains one or more haptens, such as HSG. The agent-polymer-peptide complex may be delivered to target cells by, for example, a pre-targeting technique utilizing bispecific or multispecific antibodies or fragments, having at least one binding arm that recognizes the hapten and at least a second binding arm that binds specifically to a disease or pathogen associated antigen, such as a tumor associated antigen. Methods for synthesizing and using such therapeutic-loaded polymers and their conjugates are provided.

The invention relates to agents and to pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the formation of amyloid and/or for promoting the disaggregation of an proteins. The compositions may also be used to detect amyloid.

The present invention provides a method for selective delivery of a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to a targeted organ or tissue by implanting a biocompatible solid support in the patient being linked to a first binding agent, and administering a second binding agent to the patient linked to the therapeutic or diagnostic agent, such that the therapeutic or diagnostic agent accumulates at the targeted organ or tissue.

Disclosed herein are cell-targeting complexes that are coated on the surface with target specific antibodies for induction of biological stimulus in target cells/tissue/organs. In some embodiments, the cell-targeting complex involves non-nucleated (e.g. platelets, red blood cells (RBC)) or enucleated cells that have been thiolated, streptavidinylated, and then coated with biotinylated antibodies. In some embodiments, the cell-targeting complex involves multilayer alginate hydrogel beads that have been coated with polyanionic proteins using a polycation, which is then thiolated, streptavidinylated, and then coated with biotinylated antibodies.

According to one embodiment, a particle-bound lipid nanoparticles includes a biodegradable lipid nanoparticle, a particle bound to an outer surface of the lipid nanoparticle, and an active substance bound to a surface of the particle.

The invention provides methods and products to reduce one or more symptoms from injury to a synovial joint. The methods and products relate to injecting into or around cartilage of the synovial joint the peptide GsMTx4 or a composition targeting GsMTx4 to the cartilage. The synovial joint can be, for example, a knee joint, shoulder joint, hip joint, or a facet joint of the spine.
