A probiotic composition and method for activating probiotic spores for consumption by a human to reduce inflammation in or treat inflammatory conditions in the gut. A probiotic composition comprises a nutrient-germinant composition, one or more species of Bacillus spores, and optionally a food or beverage product, which are mixed or pre-mixed in any combination. A nutrient-germinant composition comprises one or more L-amino acids, optionally a source of potassium ions, and optionally one or more buffers, if the source of potassium ions is not also a buffer. A method of activating the spores comprises heating the probiotic composition or food or beverage containing the probiotic composition to a temperature range of around 42° C.-100° C., more preferably 70° C.-85° C. prior to being administered to ingested. Dosing the probiotic composition at around 1 to 4 grams per day over a treatment cycle can reduce indicators of inflammation by at least 10-20% or more.

The present invention relates to phosphate derivatives of formula (I), and their therapeutic uses, preferably for treating a respiratory disease. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions and devices comprising such compounds.

A composition for managing the weight of a subject, wherein the composition includes at least one high-viscosity, resorbable, biocompatible material, intended to be injected into the submucosal space of the digestive tract of a subject and thus creating a long-lasting raising of the corresponding mucosa is disclosed. Also disclosed is a kit including a composition according to the invention and structure for injecting the composition. Finally, the disclosure also relates to the use of a composition according to the invention for managing the weight of a subject.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, particularly a pharmaceutical composition comprising an IgG:TGFβRII (such as an anti-PD-L1:TGFβ-inhibiting) fusion protein. The present invention also relates inter alia to a method of manufacturing the composition, to a kit including the composition, to a package including the composition, to a method of manufacturing the package, and to methods of treatment using the composition and/or package, especially cancer treatments.
