Disclosed is a nanoparticle system consisting of a polymer support or substrate in the form of nanoparticles to which a hydrolase enzyme able to degrade hyaluronic acid and one or more biologically and/or pharmacologically active molecules are covalently bonded, its preparation process and its uses in the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic fields.

The present invention relates to a composition and health functional food for preventing and treating a respiratory inflammation disease using a mixed herbal mixture. Through various experiments, for example, determination of the cell number of BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) (Experimental Example 1); Determination of CD11b+/Gr-1+ ratio in leukocyte within BAL fluid (Experimental Example 2); Determination of expressed RNA level of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue (Experimental Example 3); Determination of expressed RNA level of inflammatory cytokines in BALF (Experimental Example 4); Lung histology (Experimental Example 5); Brief Clinical test (Experimental Example 7) etc, it has been verified that the inventive combined extract showed more potent inhibiting effect on respiratory inflammation disease than each herb extract. Therefore, the herbal extract of the present invention can be usefully used in a pharmaceutical composition, health functional food, and health supplement food for preventing and treating respiratory inflammation disease.

Methods for enhancing the activity of an ion transporter in a cell and/or treating a channelopathy in a subject based on the administration or use of an effective amount of a fenretinide compound (fenretinide, a fenretinide analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and/or zinc are described. The methods are useful for restoring or increasing the cell surface expression of an ion transporter such as the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) that is mutated or defective. The fenretinide compound and/or zinc may be used in combination with ion transporter modulators, e.g., CFTR modulators, to further enhance the cell surface expression and activity of the ion transporter.

The present invention is directed to formulations of genistein and methods for making and using the same. In particular embodiments, the formulations described herein include suspension formulations of nanoparticulate genistein.

The present invention relates to a formulation comprising blends of formulations (or colloidal dispersions) and its topical application. The formulation comprises at least two different types of colloidal dispersion comprising deformable colloidal particles, wherein the deformable colloidal particles comprise a non-ionic surfactant and/or a phospholipid. The deformable colloidal particles of the invention may comprise an agent of interest (AOI) or may be free of an AOI. The formulation may comprise an AOI that is not associated with the deformable colloidal particles. The present invention also includes kits comprising the formulation of the present invention and the use of the formulation in medicine, skin care and cosmetics.
