The disclosure relates to treating and diagnosing telomere diseases, and methods of screening agents for treating and diagnosing telomere diseases.

The invention features multi-specific protein complexes with one domain comprising IL-15 or a functional variant and a binding domain specific to a disease antigen, immune checkpoint or signaling molecule.

Methods for treating depression in, and decreasing a dose of ketamine given to, a subject in need thereof, comprising, administering a CaMKII inhibitor are provided.

The invention is to articles of extracellular matrix. The articles comprise one or more sheets of mammalian extracellular matrix laminated together. A single sheet can be folded over and laminated on 3 sides. Two or more sheets can be laminated to each other at their edges. The sheets can further encase a composition comprising a cell or cells, such as for example, a stem cell. A single sheet can be folded over to encase a composition, or rolled to encase a composition with lamination at either end of the roll, for example. The invention also includes methods of using these articles to regenerate tissue at tissue defects, or heal wounds in damaged tissue.

Compositions are provided for the liquid oral administration of topiramate and its salts. The invention further provides methods for treating diseases and disorders using the compositions.

In some aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods (e.g. methods of treating, preventing, making, etc.) comprising compstatin analogs. In some embodiments, compstatin analogs comprise a linear PEG moiety having a molecular weight of 40 kDa and coupled to each of two compstatin analog moieties; wherein each compstatin analog moiety is a CA28-AEEAc-Lys moiety, the linear PEG moiety is coupled to the Lys side chain of each CA28-AEEAc-Lys moiety via a carbamate and each CA28-AEEAc-Lys moiety is Ac-Ile-Cys*-Val-(1Me)Trp-Gln-Asp-Trp-Gly-Ala-His-Arg-Cys*-Thr-[NH-CH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2-C(═O)]-Lys-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 51); wherein the Cys* groups are joined by a disulfide bond.

Provided herein are stable lisinopril oral liquid formulations. Also provided herein are methods of using lisinopril oral liquid formulations for the treatment of certain diseases including hypertension, heart failure and acute myocardial infarction.

Disclosed is an agent for inhibiting or reducing light sensitivity comprising a substance that inhibits or reduces ubiquitination, for example, an agent for inhibiting or reducing light sensitivity capable of protecting a retina, reducing retinal degeneration, reducing aging of a retina and/or reducing hyperesthesia. The present invention is suitable for use in amelioration or prevention of a symptom associated with light reception, such as age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Leber congenital amaurosis, Stargardt disease, cone-rod dystrophy, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, retinal ischemia, photosensitive seizure, photosensitive epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, photic maculopathy, asthenopia, retinal dysfunction, sleep disorders, migraine and light-induced damage.

Disclosed herein is are methods of preventing, reducing or inhibiting a viral or immune disorder, comprising administering to a subject at risk or that has acquired a viral or immune disorder an effective amount of a composition comprising a polypeptide derived from a reactive center loop of a serine protease inhibitor or a biologically active variant thereof, wherein the subject has not been administered antibiotics within at least one day of administering the composition. Also disclosed are compositions and kits for preventing, reducing or inhibiting a viral or immune disorder.

The present invention relates to the use of an agent that inhibits the activity of an enzyme that mediates repair of a DNA strand break in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of diseases caused by a defect in a gene that mediates homologous recombination.
