A therapeutic effect of Nurr1 and Foxa2 in inflammatory neurologic disorders by M1-to-M2 polarization of glial cells is provided. Specifically, a method of converting glial cells from an M1 phenotype to an M2 phenotype, wherein Nurr1 and Foxa2 are introduced into the glial cells to be overexpressed in the glial cells and a method of preventing or treating an inflammatory neurologic disorder, which includes glial cells into which Nurr1 and Foxa2 are introduced, or a viral vector loaded with Nurr1 and Foxa2, are provided.

The present invention relates to methods and immunonutritional compositions for preventing or mitigating paralysis of the bone marrow, caused by a tumor or neoplasm, between cycles of and after anti-cancer therapy, thereby attaining a better efficacy of the treatment. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and immunonutritional compositions that can transiently preventing or moderating, bone marrow paralysis or neutropenia of a subject tumor-induced apoptosis or necrosis or other cell damage such that the innate and adaptive immune functions and normal physiology of the bone marrow are preserved, at least in part, which, in turn, lead to (i) a better tolerance and increased efficacy to treatment; (ii) transient augmentation or enhancement of immunocompetence of the immune cell; and (iii) optimization of the effects of and increase of immunocompetence of the immune cell weakened due to paralysis of the bone marrow, caused by a tumor or neoplasm.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods comprising administering gene modifiers for treating ocular disease.

The present application relates to dual anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of recombinant thrombomodulin domain 1 (TMD1). Specifically, an isolated recombinant polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to TMD1 for use in treating an eye disease and/or an eye disorder associated with pathological ocular angiogenesis (POA) in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The length of the recombinant polypeptide is no more than 200 amino acid residues. The eye disease and/or the eye disorder may be at least one selected from the group consisting of retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Use of TMD1 in the manufacture of a medicament for treating an eye disease and/or an eye disorder associated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced ocular angiogenesis and/or hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-VEGF pathway is also disclosed.

Described herein are methods and compositions for treating or preventing a food allergy. Aspects of the invention relates to administering to a subject an agent that induces a regulatory T cell, or population thereof, that expresses ROR yt. Another aspect of the invention relates to administering a fecal matter transplant to a subject having reduced ROR yt-expressing regulatory T cells to treat or prevent a food allergy.

Disclosed herein are methods of increasing numbers of monocytes to a tumor or cancer metastasis site in a subject. Non-limiting embodiments include administering or using a Nur77 polypeptide or subsequence thereof; a Nur77 agonist; a CX3CR1 agonist; CD14.sup.+CD16.sup.+ monocytes and/or CD14.sup.dimCD16.sup.+ (CD115.sup.+CD11b.sup.+GR1.sup.− (Ly6C−)) monocytes; CD14.sup.+CD16.sup.+ monocytes and/or CD14.sup.dimCD16.sup.+ (CD115.sup.+CD11b.sup.+GR1.sup.− (Ly6C−)) monocytes contacted with a Nur77 agonist or contacted with a CX3CR1 agonist. Also disclosed herein are methods of increasing, stimulating, activating or promoting monocyte migration to or mobilization against a tumor or cancer metastasis in a subject. Non-limiting embodiments include administering a Nur77 polypeptide or subsequence thereof; a Nur77 agonist; a CX3CR1 agonist; CD14.sup.+CD16.sup.+ monocytes and/or CD14.sup.dimCD16.sup.+ (CD115.sup.+CD11b.sup.+GR1.sup.− (Ly6C−)) monocytes; or CD14.sup.+CD16.sup.+ monocytes and/or CD14.sup.dimCD16.sup.+ (CD115.sup.+CD111b.sup.+GR1.sup.− (Ly6C−)) monocytes contacted with a Nur77 agonist or contacted with a CX3CR1 agonist.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating microbial inflammation including its end-stage sepsis and conditions associated with the microbial inflammation such as thrombocytopenia and hypoglycogenemia. In one aspect, the compositions and methods disclosed herein can also be used to enhance clearance of microbes from infected tissues, organs, or systems in a subject. Also disclosed herein are compositions and methods for reducing levels of stress responsible transcription factors and metabolic transcription factors in a cell in a subject with microbial inflammation.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for targeting dermal white adipose tissue for hair follicle stimulation and regeneration.
