The present invention concerns methods of treating systemic, regional, or local inflammation from a patient suffering or at risk of inflammation comprising administration of a therapeutically effective dose of a sorbent that sorbs an inflammatory mediator in said patient. In some preferred embodiments, the sorbent is a biocompatible organic polymer.

A shear-thinning hydrogel composition includes: a first polymer chain including: (i) a first plurality of units each having at least one of a monosaccharide and an amino acid; and (ii) a cross-linking group bound to the at least one of the monosaccharide and the amino acid of one of the first plurality of units via conversion of a carboxyl group of the unit to a peptide bond; a second polymer chain including a second plurality of the units; and a cross-linking additive connecting one of the second plurality of units to the first polymer chain via the cross-linking group.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising particles, each of the respective particles comprising particles formed by polyribonucleotides and polymers. Specifically, the composition comprises a complex of at least one double-stranded polyribonucleotide, such as polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], and at least one linear polyalkyleneimine. The particles are also characterized by their monomodal diameter distribution and z-average diameter within specific ranges. The present invention additionally relates to methods of manufacturing the compositions, and further to related pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of any cell growth disorder characterized by an abnormal growth of human or animal cells.
