A method of inhibiting hypercoagulation and/or thrombosis in a subject having or at risk of hypercoagulation or thrombosis includes administering to the subject an amount of a composition effective to inhibit MRP-8/14 and/or MRP-14 binding to platelet CD36 and inhibit hypercoagulation and/or thrombosis in the subject.

Provided is a dental pretreatment material for dental tissue regeneration by use of dental pulp stem cells, particularly a dental pretreatment material effectively enabling dental tissue regeneration even by use of dental pulp stem cells of middle-aged or older individuals. The dental pretreatment material is characterized by comprising a serine protease, specifically trypsin. The dental pretreatment material comprising trypsin is used as an injection into a root canal before a root canal filling material comprising dental pulp stem cells and an extracellular matrix is inserted into the root canal as an attempt to regenerate a dental pulp and a dentin. The root canal filling material includes an ALK5 inhibitor, a CCR3 antagonist, or a CCL11 neutralizing antibody.

The present invention provides compounds and compositions for use in the treatment of cancer as part of a Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. In particular, the present invention discloses IL-18 binding molecules such as, for example, the IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) for use in Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy as a modulator to avoid or minimize side effects.

The present technology relates generally to dry powder formulations comprising leucine and trileucine in specific ratios that are suitable for pulmonary delivery. Also provided are methods of preparing the dry powder formulations, and methods of administration and treatment using the dry powder formulations.

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating lichen planus (e.g., lichen planopilaris, mucosal lichen planus, cutaneous lichen planus) using Interleukin (IL)-17 antagonists, e.g., secukinumab. Also disclosed herein are IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab, for treating patients having lichen planus (e.g., lichen planopilaris, mucosal lichen planus, cutaneous lichen planus), as well as medicaments, dosing regimens, pharmaceutical formulations, dosage forms, and kits for use in the disclosed uses and methods.

An implantable or injectable scaffold comprising immunostimulatory compounds and a suppressor of regulatory T cell induction is provided for use in immunotherapy treatments, including the treatment of cancers and other tumors, in particular solid tumors including inoperable tumors, as well as for other applications of immune enhancement and/or suppression.

There is provided a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer comprising, as active ingredients, a fusion protein dimer comprising an IL-2 protein or a variant thereof and a CD80 protein or a fragment thereof, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The fusion protein containing an CD80 fragment, an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin, and an IL-2 variant in an embodiment can activate immune cells such as natural killer cells as well as control the immune cell regulatory activity of regulatory T cells. In addition, the combined administration of the fusion protein and an immune checkpoint inhibitor such as Keytruda known as a PD-1 inhibitor can effectively inhibit cancer. Therefore, a pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein dimer comprising an IL-2 protein or a variant thereof and a CD80 protein or a fragment thereof, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor can be effectively applied to the treatment of cancer and has high industrial applicability.

The present disclosure is related to methods of treating autoimmune disorders in a subject comprising administering immunoglobulin-like transcript 7 (ILT7) binding proteins to a subject having elevated type I interferon gene signature (IFNGS). The present disclosure also relates to methods of reducing pDCs in tissues comprising administering an ILT7-binding protein to a subject in need thereof.

The present invention provides means and methods for treating Interleukin 18 (IL-18)-associated diseases and disorders. In particular, the present invention discloses antibodies specific for free IL-18 and IL-18 Binding Protein (IL-18BP) for use in such treatments and for the diagnosis of the indications.

This disclosure provides IL-21 binding molecules, e.g., anti-IL-21 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof. In certain aspects the anti-IL-21 antibodies and fragments thereof can be hybridoma-derived murine monoclonal antibodies, and humanized versions thereof. In certain aspects the binding molecules, e.g., anti-IL-21 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof provided herein inhibit, suppress, or antagonize IL-21 activity. In addition, this disclosure provides compositions and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases or disorders, e.g., inflammatory, immune-mediated, or autoimmune diseases or disorders associated with IL-21-mediated signal transduction. In a particular embodiment, the disclosure provides methods for treating or preventing Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) using IL-21 binding molecules, e.g., anti-IL-21 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof.
