The present invention relates to a PTH compound for use in the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, wherein the treatment comprises single daily administrations of the PTH compound to a patient and titrating the patient off of standard of care within four weeks from the time the first dose of the PTH compound was administered.

Embodiments of the invention provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. Embodiments also provide various drug preparations that are configured to be contained within the capsule, advanced from the capsule into the intestinal wall and degrade within the wall to release the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. The preparation can be coupled to a delivery mechanism having one or more balloons or other expandable devices which are expandable responsive to a condition in the small intestine or other GI lumen to advance the preparation out of the capsule into the intestinal wall. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.

The present disclosure relates to populations of small pluripotent stem cells derived from peripheral blood, such as human peripheral blood. In some aspects, these small pluripotent stem cells are smaller than known stem cells and express a range of embryonic, hematopoietic, or mesenchymal stem cell markers. Also disclosed herein are methods of isolation and cryopreservation of these populations of small pluripotent stem cells. These small pluripotent stem cells may be differentiated in a wide range of cell types, which can be used in various applications such as the study of cell activity or for treatment of diseases and personalized medicine.

A method for improving the solubility of a physiologically active protein or peptide compared to that of a physiologically active protein or peptide which is not conjugated to an immunoglobulin Fc fragment is disclosed. The method includes steps of conjugating the physiologically active protein or peptide to an immunoglobulin Fc fragment. Also disclosed is a composition for improving the solubility of a physiologically active protein or peptide, which contains an immunoglobulin Fc fragment. The composition improves the solubility compared to a composition without an immunoglobulin Fc fragment.
