The present invention relates to particularly stable and soluble scFv antibodies and Fab fragments specific for TNF, which comprise specific light chain and heavy chain sequences that are optimized for stability, solubility, in vitro and in vivo binding of TNF, and low immunogenicity. The antibodies are designed for the diagnosis and/or treatment of TNF-mediated disorders. The nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expression of the recombinant antibodies of the invention, methods for isolating them and the use of the antibodies in medicine are also described.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for promoting stem cell and/or progenitor cell proliferation and/or differentiation. The provided compositions may be useful in treating a disease or condition that is related to mucosal barrier function, e.g., wound healing, treating skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, bed sores, or condition related to the aging of skin), treating a lung disorders (e.g., asthma), a condition related to improving mucosal barrier function, and/or treating injury to GI mucosa in a subject in need thereof. The present disclosure also provides methods for promoting the proliferation and/or differentiation of stem cells and/or the progenitor cells in a subject in need of such treatment by administering a composition. The ability to stimulate the proliferation and/or differentiation of stem cells and/or the progenitor cells in vivo, ex vivo and/or in vitro provides tremendous benefit. The present disclosure can be used to increase stem cell populations in in vivo, ex vivo and/or in vitro. Stem cell transplantation provides treatments and/or cures of many disease states, degeneration and/or injury.

Disclosed herein are methods that include contacting a skin surface with a first liquid composition; and then contacting in the skin surface with a cationic coated article loaded with a second liquid composition, while at least some portion of the first liquid composition remains on the skin surface, wherein one or both of the first liquid composition or the second liquid composition includes acrylate copolymer particles dispersed therein, the acrylate copolymer particles including the reaction product of a reaction mixture, the reaction mixture including monomers, the monomers including from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of at least one high Tg monomer where the wt % of the high Tg monomer is with respect to the total weight of the monomers in the reaction mixture; and from about 20 wt % to about 80 wt % of at least one low Tg monomer where the wt % of the low Tg monomer is with respect to the total weight of the monomers in the reaction mixture, wherein the particles have a number average diameter of at least about 100 nm and wherein at least one and only one of the first or the second composition comprises greater than or equal to 60 wt % of at least one alcohol.

A polycrystalline form of a dehydrophenylahistin-like compound, and a manufacturing and purification method and application thereof. A (3Z,6Z)-3-benzylidene-6-[(5-tert-butyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)deuteromethylene]piperazine-2,5-dione monohydrate crystal and a (3Z,6Z)-3-benzylidene-6-[(5-tert-butyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene]piperazine-2,5-dione monohydrate crystal are more competitive crystalline forms with stable quality. The manufacturing and purification method is simple and easy to operate, and can effectively control the generation of a trans-isomer contaminant to obtain a high purity product. The polycrystalline form of the dehydrophenylahistin-like compound has a certain value in an application for manufacturing an antitumor pharmaceutical product.

The object of the invention is topical compositions comprising pea proteins and polyphenols and the use thereof for the treatment of local or generalised disorders caused by increased permeation of the natural epithelial barriers. Said disorders may be of bacterial, viral, inflammatory, allergic and/or fungal origin, or endogenous or idiopathic.

The present invention provides a novel compound having an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect. The present invention provides: a compound which has an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect, and is represented by formula (1a), (1b) or (11); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This compound provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for bacterial infections when used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs or used as a single agent. The present invention also provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for treating various diseases, by being used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for targeted treatment of Aspergillus-associated diseases and disorders in mammals, such as diseases and disorders associated with Aspergillus infection.
