Compounds active on protein kinases are described, as well as methods of using such compounds to treat diseases and conditions associated with aberrant activity of protein kinases.

The invention provides humanized and chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies for treatment of CD20 positive malignancies and autoimmune diseases.

This disclosure provides, inter alia, an optimized strain of Nitrosomonas eutropha (N. eutropha) designated D23, D23-100, or AOB D23-100. N. eutropha bacteria disclosed in this application have desirable properties, e.g., optimized properties, such as the ability to suppress growth of pathogenic bacteria, and an enhanced ability to produce nitric oxide and nitric oxide precursors. The N. eutropha herein may be used, for instance, to treat diseases associated with low nitrite levels, skin diseases, and diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria.

A cell product may be used for treating a peripheral blood flow disorder, and the cell product may include an SSEA-3-positive pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells) derived from a mesenchymal tissue in a living body or a cultured mesenchymal cell. The peripheral blood flow disorder is preferably a peripheral arterial disease, more preferably chronic arterial obstruction in a limb.

This invention pertains generally to prostacyclin formulations and methods for their use in promoting vasodilation, inhibiting platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, stimulating thrombolysis, inhibiting cell proliferation (including vascular remodeling), providing cytoprotection, preventing atherogenesis and inducing

The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

Some embodiments provide a system for external manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles in vasculature using a remotely placed magnetic field-generating stator. In one aspect, the systems and methods relate to the control of magnetic nanoparticles in a fluid medium using permanent magnet-based or electromagnetic field-generating stator sources. Such a system can be useful for increasing the diffusion of therapeutic agents in a fluid medium, such as a human circulatory system, which can result in substantial clearance of fluid obstructions, such as vascular occlusions, in a circulatory system resulting in increased blood flow.
