Disclosed are methods, compounds, and compositions useful for increasing autophagy and promoting longevity. The methods, compounds, and compositions relate to urolithins and urolithin precursors and use thereof. Certain urolithins are represented by Formula I, while certain urolithin precursors are represented by Formula IV. The urolithin may be urolithin A, urolithin B, urolithin C, or urolithin D. The urolithin precursor may be ellagic acid or an ellagitannin. The methods include in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro uses of the compounds and compositions.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-FcRN antibody, which is an antibody binding to FcRN (stands for neonatal Fc receptor, also called FcRP, FcRB or Brambell receptor) that is a receptor with a high affinity for IgG or a fragment thereof, a method of preparing thereof, a composition for treating autoimmune disease, which comprises the antibody, and a method of treating and diagnosing autoimmune diseases using the antibody. The FcRn-specific antibody according to the present disclosure binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG to reduce serum pathogenic auto-antibody levels, and thus can be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

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

The present disclosure relates generally to modulators of Cot (cancer Osaka thyroid) and methods of use and manufacture thereof.

CB-7 exhibits a weak TLR7 inhibiting effect in normal mice. The present invention provides a novel compound with a stronger TLR7 inhibiting effect than CB-7, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of said compound, or a prodrug of said compound or salt. The present invention also provides a drug for the prevention or treatment of diseases associated with the activation of TLR7, said drug including the aforementioned TLR7 activation inhibitor.

The present disclosure relates to compounds that are Syk inhibitors or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or co-crystals thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and to their use in the treatment of various disease states, including cancer and inflammatory conditions. In particular embodiments, a Syk inhibitor is a crystalline monomesylate salt of 6-(6-aminopyrazin-2-yl)-N-(4-(4-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl)phenyl)imidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-amine of formula 2: ##STR00001##

The invention relates to compositions including polynucleotides encoding polypeptides which have been chemically modified by replacing the uridines with 1-methyl-pseudouridine to improve one or more of the stability and/or clearance in tissues, receptor uptake and/or kinetics, cellular access by the compositions, engagement with translational machinery, mRNA half-life, translation efficiency, immune evasion, protein production capacity, secretion efficiency, accessibility to circulation, protein half-life and/or modulation of a cell's status, function, and/or activity.

Provided is a peptide having a short chain length, for example, having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less and having a high myostatin inhibitory activity. The present invention is a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence represented by Formula (1) in the specification and having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less.
