The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer patients carrying one or more specific fusion genes. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the protein encoded by the MAN2A1-FER fusion gene exhibits kinase activity and the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting MAN2A1-FER in a cancer other than prostate, for example hepatocellular cancer, led to dramatic improvement of survival of animals xenografted with the cancer.

A formulation comprising an ingestible carrier and an isolated strain of Bifidobacterium longum.

Presented herein are cancer peptide agents and uses thereof for treating cancer and/or inhibiting metastasis. Also presented herein are methods of treating cancer, or inhibiting metastasis of cancer in a subject, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising one or more cancer peptide agents to the subject. Also presented herein is a method of treating a cancer in a subject, or inhibiting metastasis of a cancer in a subject that comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising one or more cancer peptide agents, and administering a chemotherapy or chemotherapeutic agent.

The present disclosure and invention relates to a chimeric protein useful in adoptive cell therapy (ACT) which is a membrane-associated signalling protein that can be induced to provide a cell expressing the protein with a STAT-5-mediated signal. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules encoding such a chimeric protein, 5 recombinant constructs, vectors and cells containing the nucleic acid molecule, methods of producing such cells, and therapeutic uses thereof.

The present invention provides methods for inhibiting Fyn kinase, using 5-3-pyridin-2-amine, 6-3-imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazine, 6-3-imidazo[1,2-b] pyridazine, N-(5-imidazo [2,1-b][1,3,4] thiadiazol-2-yl)-amine, 4-3-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b] pyridine, and N-(3-imidazo [1,2-b] pyridazin-6-yl) amine compounds and methods of treatment, prevention, inhibition or amelioration of diseases and conditions associated with Fyn kinase using such compounds.

The present invention pertains to fibronectin or Integrin-linked Kinase (ILK) inhibitors/antagonists in the treatment of imatinib resistant leukemia. The invention relates to the use of recombinant or isolated fibronectin or an ILK inhibitor as adjuvant therapy during leukemia treatment, either as single ingredient medicament or in a combination therapy, preferably with ABL inhibitors such as imatinib or nilotinib.

Provided are methods for modulating a SRC-1 condensate to regulate transcription of one or more genes, methods of treating diseases and conditions using SRC-1 inhibitors, and methods for screening of agents that modulate SRC-1 condensate.

The disclosure relates to a recombinant membrane span protein complex, comprising (1) a fusion protein, comprising a membrane span protein fused to a kinase domain, preferably a constitutive kinase and (2) a reporter construct comprising a polypeptide, interacting with the membrane span protein, fused to a reporter phosphorylation domain. The disclosure relates further to the uses of such membrane span protein complex for the detection of compounds that interact with the membrane span protein and for the screening and/or detection of inhibitors of the compound-membrane span protein interactions. In a preferred embodiment, the membrane span protein is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and the method is used for the screening and/or detection of inhibitors of the ligand-receptor binding.

The present disclosure generally relates to, inter alia, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that contain an intracellular signaling domain without an immune receptor tyrosine based activation motif (ITAM). The disclosure also provides compositions and methods useful for producing such molecules, as well as methods for the detection and treatment of diseases, such as cancer.

The present invention provides antibodies that bind to Tie2 and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human Tie2 and block the interaction between Tie2 and one or more Tie2 ligands such as angiopoietin 1 (Ang1), angiopoietin 2 (Ang2), angiopoietin 3 (Ang3) and/or angiopoietin 4 (Ang4). The antibodies of the invention are useful, inter alia, for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with one or more Tie2 biological activities including angiogenesis. In certain embodiments, pairs of activating Tie-2 antibodies showed an additive effect on the treatment of influenza infection when combined with anti-influenza HA. In other embodiments, prophylactic administration pairs of activating Tie2 antibodies delayed death and improved survival in a lethal model of E. coli intoxication (sepsis) over isotype/untreated controls.
