Described herein are methods and compositions for treating, reducing, or ameliorating cancer in a subject, comprising administering compositions comprising mucin and/or inulin. In some aspects, described herein is a method of enhancing anti-cancer immunity comprising: (a) administering to a subject a composition comprising mucin, wherein the subject has been identified as having a gut microbiome comprising one more microbial taxa that are members of a Clostridium cluster XIVa or an Actinobacteria phylum; and (b) altering the gut microbiome in the subject, wherein administration of the composition causes an enhanced anti-cancer immunity in the subject.

Systems and methods are provided for generating and applying biomimicry tear film layers to a cornea surface. An example method includes forming a multiple layered tear film that are optically transparent, ultra-thin, and smoothly conforming to cornea surface. The multiple layered tear film can include a biomimicry adhesive layer, a biomimicry aqueous layer, and a biomimicry lipid layer. An atomizer/nebulizer/micronizer can be used to generate and applying the biomimicry tear film layers.

Disclosed herein are methods of making compositions having high glycoprotein content and low free glycan content from porcine gastric mucus. Also disclosed are compositions having high glycoprotein content and low free glycan content as well as methods of using the same, including for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and acute colitis.

The present technology relates generally to formulations comprising egg white protein, methods of manufacturing egg protein formulations and uses for egg protein formulations. In particular, several embodiments are directed to egg protein formulations for oral administration in immunotherapy of subjects affected by egg allergies.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a modified mRNA that is stabilised by sequence modifications and optimised for translation. The pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is particularly well suited for use as an inoculating agent, as well as a therapeutic agent for tissue regeneration. In addition, a process is described for determining sequence modifications that promote stabilisation and translational efficiency of modified mRNA of the invention.

The present invention relates to the use of type 2 cytokines and mucins for increasing the amount or activity of bacterial species of the Clostridia class in the gastrointestinal tract, for treating dysbiosis in the gastrointestinal tract, for treating gastrointestinal and inflammatory disorders, and for promoting wound healing in the gastrointestinal tract.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa flagellin protein recruits the mammalian host sialidase enzyme neuraminidase-1 (NEU1) to remove sialic acid residues from the extracellular domain of the mammalian cell-surface protein MUC1 (MUC1-ED), thereby exposing a cryptic binding site on the MUC1-ED protein backbone for flagellin binding. NEU1-driven MUC1-ED desialylation rapidly increases P. aeruginosa adhesion to the airway epithelium. MUC1-ED desialylation also increases MUC1-ED cleavage and shedding from the cell surface, where desialylated, shed MUC1-ED competitively blocks P. aeruginosa adhesion to cell-associated MUC1-ED. Presented herein are data showing that exogenously-administered, deglycosylated MUC1-ED peptides reduced adhesion of P. aeruginosa to airway epithelial cells. Also presented are data showing that administration of P. aeruginosa to mice in combination with deglycosylated MUC1-ED decreased P. aeruginosa recovered from the lungs at 48 hr and 72 hr post-infection. Such findings are extended to the methods of treatment and prevention of bacterial infections defined herein.
