The methods of treatment include treating neurodegenerative neurodegenerative or other proteinopathy such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, multiple tauopathies, spongiform encephalopathies, familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or a combination of two or more thereof.

METHODS FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT AND PREDICTION OF THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE

Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions related to treating an individual for HER2+ positive cancer with an appropriate treatment based on outcome of a multiparameter classifier. The methods allow for identification of HER2+ individuals that are suitable to avoid chemotherapy, in specific embodiments. Methods of the disclosure also allow for identification of HER2+ individuals that should not avoid chemotherapy. In specific embodiments, the multiparameter classifier identifies whether there is (1) a ratio of HER2 amplification, relative to a control probe, of greater than or equal to 4.5; (2) a HER2 expression level score of 3+, as determined by immunohistochemistry, in at least 90% of breast cancer cells; (3) whether there is a HER2-enriched molecular subtype; and (4) whether the individual has a wildtype PIKC3A gene.

FC-CD80 FUSION PROTEIN AND CONJUGATES THEREOF AND THEIR USES
20230235011 · 2023-07-27 ·

A Fc-CD80 fusion protein has a CD80 extracellular domain (ECD) linked to a C-terminal of an immunoglobulin Fc domain. The Fc-CD80 fusion protein can be used for the preparation of a conjugate, the conjugate including the Fc-CD80 fusion protein as a first component, and a second component containing a second effector molecule, the second component being located at an N-terminal of the first component. In addition, a conjugate including the Fc-CD80 fusion protein, a pharmaceutical composition including the Fc-CD80 fusion protein and/or the conjugate are effective for the treatment or prevention of cancerous diseases in individuals.

INHIBITION OF BMI1 ELIMINATES CANCER STEM CELLS AND ACTIVATES ANTITUMOR IMMUNITY

The present disclosure reports that pharmacological or genetic inhibition of Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (BMI1) not only helped to eliminate BMI1+ cancer stem cells (CSCs), but can also augment PD1 blockade by strongly induced tumor cell-intrinsic immune responses by recruiting and activating CD8+ T cells. Taken together, the results indicate that in addition to purging CSCs, targeting BMI1 would enable immune checkpoint blockade to inhibit metastatic tumor growth and prevent tumor relapse by activating cell-intrinsic immunity.
