Methods and compositions for treating and preventing medical conditions associated with the distribution, transport, and deiodination of thyroid hormone in the central nervous system (“CNS”), including but not limited to the brain and spinal cord are disclosed. In particular, methods and compositions for treating Allan Herndon Dudley Syndrome are disclosed.

The present invention relates to sustained-release formulations and dosage forms of ruxolitinib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are useful in the treatment of Janus kinase-associated diseases such as myeloproliferative disorders.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating thyroid-related medical conditions. Many thyroid-related medical conditions exist that go undiagnosed and untreated. These conditions may be prevented and treated with reduced folates and vitamin B12. Administration of reduced folates and vitamin B12 will prevent or treat cerebrospinal folate deficiency, which is linked to thyroid-related medical conditions. Administration of reduced folates and vitamin B12 will also prevent or treat conditions associated with masked megaloblastic anemia and hypothyroidism, and other conditions brought upon through improper thyroid function. Additionally, it is commonplace to treat many thyroid conditions with anti-thyroid drugs or thyroid stimulating drugs. This practice alone is also responsible for causing, or not beneficially addressing, adverse conditions that can be prevented or treated through the methods and compositions discussed herein.

Provided are antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, which specifically bind to an extracellular poor loop of an alpha 1a subunit of L-type voltage gated calcium channel, and related compositions, kits, and methods of use thereof, for instance, administration to a subject in need thereof to modify an immune response, for example, in the treatment of cancer.

The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

The present disclosure is directed to disclosed compounds that increase cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activity as measured in human bronchial epithelial (hBE) cells.

Disclosed are a compound, a stereisomer and a tautomer thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a solvate or a prodrug thereof, which can be used for preventing or treating a RORγ mediated disease. The compound has the structural formula (I).

The present invention is related to antibodies directed to the antigen CD3 and uses of such antibodies. In particular, the present invention provides fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to CD3. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementarity determining regions (CDR's), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.

The present invention relates to a modified polypeptide comprising a non-cytotoxic protease, a translocation domain, a destructive protease cleavage site and a Targeting Moiety that binds to a Binding Site on a nerve cell, wherein after cleavage of the destructive cleavage site the polypeptide has reduced potency. The destructive cleavage site is recognized and cleaved by a protease present at or in an off-site target cell, and, in one embodiment, the polypeptide is a modified clostridial neurotoxin. The present invention also relates to the use of said polypeptides for treating a range of conditions, and to nucleic acids encoding said polypeptides.
