Methods for the production, capturing and purification of recombinant human lysosomal proteins are described. Such recombinant human lysosomal proteins can have high content of mannose-6-phosphate residues. Also described are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such recombinant human lysosomal proteins, as well as methods of treatment and uses of such recombinant human lysosomal proteins.

Polynucleotides encoding peptides, proteins, enzymes, and functional fragments thereof are disclosed. The polynucleotides of the disclosure can be effectively delivered to an organ, such as the lung, and expressed within cells of the organ. The polyribonucleotides of the disclosure can be used to treat a disease or condition associated with a gene of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, such as ABCA3.

The present invention relates to novel compounds that modulate cellular glucose uptake by affecting various targets, including, but not limited to those related to glycolysis and known transporters/co-transporters of the GLUT family. The compounds according to the invention are useful for treating cancer such as: neuroendocrine neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), renal cell carcinoma, paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, pituitary adenoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer sarcoma, head and neck cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer and other cancers that rely on high levels of glycolysis for survival and proliferation; as well as in treating of autoimmune diseases, inflammation, infectious diseases, and metabolic diseases.

Disclosed herein are dosing regimens of GLP-1 and/or GLP-1 analog(s).

The present technology relates, inter alia, to perturbagens and methods for directing a change in the cell state of a progenitor cell. It also relates to methods for increasing a quantity of beige adipocytes, beige preadipocytes, and/or immediate progenitors thereof and/or the ratios thereof. Further, the present technology relates to methods for treating diseases or disorders characterized by, at least, abnormal numbers, ratios or bodily distributions of beige adipocytes, beige preadipocytes, white adipocytes, white preadipocytes, or immediate progenitors thereof, with respect to each other.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of linagliptin, pharmaceutical dosage forms, their preparation, their use and methods for treating metabolic disorders.

Described herein are FasL-engineered biomaterials, as well as methods of making and using such FasL-engineered biomaterials, such as for immunomodulation, such as for inducing immunosuppression and specific immune tolerance, such as for preventing or reducing the risks of rejection of cellular or tissue grafts and/or the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as Type I diabetes. In specific embodiments, the FasL-engineered biomaterials are biotinylated microgels bound to SA-FasL.
