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.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for the use of IL-22 for treating conditions of intestinal injury and inflammatory conditions such as graft vs. host disease. Specifically, IL-22 can be used to increase Intestinal Stem Cell (ISC) recovery and for enhancing immune reconstitution following allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation. In particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides methods of using therapeutic IL-22, including a dimeric form of IL-22, in therapeutic compositions for treating graft vs. host disease, including hepatic, thymic, gastrointestinal, or other graft vs. host disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients and in patients with inflammatory intestinal conditions.

The subject invention provides compositions and methods for treating human dermatological conditions by employing a microbiome-centered treatment approach. Preferred embodiments of the invention provide pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions, and the methods of using the same, comprising a strain of Lactobacillus fermentum bacterium, or bioactive extracts thereof, derived from human microbiota and capable of growing in biofilm phenotype.

The invention provides methods of treating an allergic inflammatory condition characterized by inflammation of the squamous epithelium of a target tissue by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a kallikrein 5 (KLK5) inhibitor, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
