The present invention discloses cationic nucleic acid scavengers to effectively inhibit the activation of multiple nucleic acid sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to treat an inflammatory or immune response which is induced by a nucleic acid through the activation of the PRRs. The cationic nucleic acid scavengers include water soluble cationic polymers, cationic nanoparticles, and cationic micro-particles, and bind the nucleic acid in a manner that is independent of the sequences, structure or chemistry of the nucleic acid.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising particles, each of said particles comprising 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 use of said compositions as medicaments, in particular for the treatment of a cell growth disorder characterized by abnormal growth of human or animal cells, as well as to processes for the preparation of said compositions.

This invention relates to microgel compositions, and in particular, to gel compositions formed by binding a plurality of individual microgel particles together. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these compositions and their use for particular applications, especially medical applications such as the repair of damaged, degenerated or inappropriately formed load-bearing tissue (such as, for example, intervertebral discs).

The present invention relates to compositions comprising complexes that are formed by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid with a polyalkyleneimine, such as polyethyleneimine, that present uniform structural and functional features, as well as to processes for the preparation of said compositions that comply with regulatory requirements. The present invention additionally relates to use of said compositions as medicaments (in particular for treating cancer), alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents and/or in specific medical methods. Moreover, the administration of these compositions is associated to changes in the expression of specific genes, in cell responses, and/or in composition of immune cell populations that can be used as specific biomarkers and/or as additional target for medical treatment.

According to the present invention there is provided a polymer comprising at least one antiseptic/analgesic/anti-inflammatory monomeric unit in conjunction with at least three further monomeric units, said three further monomeric units eliciting properties selected from the group consisting of: temperature activation, water solubility, mechanical strength, protein/polysaccharide bonding capacity, and combinations thereof. In particular, disclosed herein is a polymer, wherein the water-soluble monomeric unit is a hydrophilic ethylene glycol (OEGMA) moiety; the mechanical strength-conferring monomeric unit is polylactide-co-2-hydroxy-ethyl-methyl acrylate (PLA/HEMA); the protein-reactive monomeric unit is an N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS) moiety; and the thermosetting monomeric unit is an N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) moiety. The anti-septic/analgesic/anti-inflammatory monomeric unit comprises a methacrylic ester derivative of salicylic acid (5-HMA or 4-HMA, or a combination thereof).
