INFLAMMATION-TARGETED NEUTROPHIL GRANULOCYTE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM AND USE THEREOF
Disclosed are an inflammation-targeted neutrophil granulocyte drug delivery system and use thereof, wherein the drug delivery system includes neutrophil granulocytes and a therapeutic substance or a detectable substance loaded into the neutrophil granulocytes or onto the surface of the neutrophil granulocytes in a direct or indirect way. By using the neutrophil granulocytes as a carrier of a drug, the drug is actively targeted to an inflammatory site, thereby increasing the drug concentration at the inflammatory site. Under the stimulation of cytokines, the neutrophil granulocytes arriving at the inflammatory site are abnormally activated, disintegrate rapidly, and die in the way of “Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)”. This helps to rapidly release the loaded drug to the targeted site, so as to improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the toxic and side effects.
Nucleated-cell capturing filter and nucleated-cell preparation method using same
The present invention has an object to solve the problem in a method for separating nucleated cells from a cell-containing fluid using a cell separation filter. Specifically, the present invention provides a cell separation filter and a method for preparing cells using a cell separation filter, which are capable of reducing unnecessary cell contamination in a nucleated cell fraction without needs of designing non-woven fabrics to suit cell species to be recovered. The present invention also provides a cell separation filter and a method for preparing cells using the filter capable of improving the recovery yield of nucleated cells. The present invention provides a cell separation filter comprising: a container having an inlet and an outlet, an adsorbent filled in the container, and a partition having an opening, the partition separating the adsorbent. The present invention also provides a method for preparing nucleated cells including the steps of: introducing a cell-containing fluid through the inlet of the cell separation filter to contact the cell-containing fluid with the adsorbent; and recovering a nucleated cell fraction from the filter.
HIGH EFFICIENCY MICROFLUIDIC PURIFICATION OF STEM CELLS TO IMPROVE TRANSPLANTS
Described herein is a novel, highly efficient system to remove erythrocytes and purify leukocytes would raise the quality of UCB and other transplant grafts, thereby significantly improving patient outcomes.
Pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) composition for treatment of subclinical mastitis and methods of producing and using the same
A pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) composition as an alternative to conventional antibiotic treatment of subclinical mastitis caused by Gram-positive bacteria in bovine including five live platelets and leukocytes, an anticoagulant, and an activating substance.
Polypeptides, cells, and methods involving engineered CD16
This disclosure describes, generally, a modified form of CD16, genetically-modified cells that express the modified CD16, and methods that involve the genetically-modified cells. The modified form of CD16 can exhibit increased anti-tumor and/or anti-viral activity due, at least in part, to reduced susceptibility to ADAM17-mediated shedding upon NK cell stimulation.
SUPERPARAMAGNETISM-MODIFIED AND NEUTROPHIL EXOSOME BIOMIMETIC VESICLE-BASED BIOLOGICAL PREPARATION FOR DRUG DELIVERY, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure provides a superparamagnetism-modified and neutrophil exosome biomimetic vesicle-based biological preparation for drug delivery, and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of engineered nanovesicle drug loading systems. The superparamagnetism-modified and neutrophil exosome biomimetic vesicle-based biological preparation for drug delivery prepared by the preparation method acts on tumor cell lines. It is found that the superparamagnetism-modified and neutrophil exosome biomimetic vesicle-based biological preparation for drug delivery can specifically target tumor cells, induce tumor cell apoptosis, and inhibit tumor growth. The biological preparation significantly extends a survival time of mice and improves an efficacy of drugs against cancers.
Exosome preparation for treating disease and application thereof
Provided are an exosome preparation formed by secretion by a mast cell cultured in vitro, a preparation method of an exosome therein, an exosome containing FcεRI protein on an outer surface thereof and in a substantially unbound state, and uses of the exosome preparation or exosome in a method for inhibiting mast cell activation in vitro and in preparing a drug for treating an IgE-mediated disease.
THERAPEUTIC GENE EDITING FOR ELANE-ASSOCIATED DISEASE
Provided herein are reagents and methods for targeting the ELANE gene for inhibition. Further provided herein is a method for producing a progenitor cell or a population of progenitor cells having decreased ELANE mRNA or protein expression.
CD11B + PIEZO-1 + MACROPHAGES AND USES THEREOF
The present invention relates to isolated mammalian CD11b+/PIEZO-1+ macrophage cells, neutrophil cells, and/or an isolated exosome as secreted by said cells, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said cells and/or exosomes, as well as uses thereof.
