CONJUGATED HEPCIDIN MIMETICS
The present invention provides hepcidin analogues, and related pharmaceutical compositions and use thereof in treating polycythemia vera.
NOVEL RECEPTORS HAVING A HETEROLOGOUS STOP TRANSFER SEQUENCE FOR LIGAND-DEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION
The present disclosure generally relates to, among other things, a new class of receptors engineered to modulate transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. The new receptors provide a selectable degree of noise, expression level, and signal to noise ratio. The disclosure also provides compositions and methods useful for producing such receptors, nucleic acids encoding same, host cells genetically modified with the nucleic acids, as well as methods for modulating an activity of a cell and/or for the treatment of various health conditions or diseases, such as cancers.

FUSOKINES INVOLVING CYTOKINES WITH STRONGLY REDUCED RECEPTOR BINDING AFFINITIES
The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising at least two cytokines, of which at least one is a modified cytokine with a strongly reduced binding affinity to its receptor, or to one of its receptors. Preferably, both cytokines are connected by a linker, preferably a GGS linker. The invention relates further to said fusion protein for use in treatment of diseases.
TRANSLATABLE MOLECULES AND SYNTHESIS THEREOF
A range of therapeutic mRNA molecules expressible to provide a target polypeptide or protein. The RNA molecules can contain one or more 5-methoxyuridines and 5-methylcytidines. Further provided are DNA templates, which can be transcribed to provide a target mRNA, and can have altered nucleotides, such as reduced deoxyadenosines. Also provided are processes for making the therapeutic mRNA molecules. The RNA molecules can be translated in vitro or in vivo to provide an active polypeptide or protein. The RNA molecules can be included in a composition used for preventing, treating, or ameliorating at least one symptom of a disease or condition in a subject in need thereof.
