Provided is a peptide having a short chain length, for example, having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less and having a high myostatin inhibitory activity. The present invention is a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence represented by Formula (1) in the specification and having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less.

The present invention relates generally to methods of treating cancer with arginine deiminase, and in particular pegylated arginine deiminase.

Devices, bandages, kits and methods are described that can control or regulate the mechanical environment of a wound to ameliorate scar and/or keloid formation. The mechanical environment of a wound includes stress, strain, and any combination of stress and strain. The control of a wound's mechanical environment can be active, passive, dynamic, or static. The devices are configured to be removably secured to a skin surface in proximity to the wound site and shield the wound from endogenous and/or exogenous stress.

This disclosure relates to intranasal administration of conjugates comprising guanidinylated aminoglycosides (“guanidinoglycosides”) and a polypeptide (e.g., an enzyme, antibody, or polypeptide growth factor). For example, such administration methods are useful for delivering a polypeptide to the brain and/or cerebrospinal fluid. Such methods are useful for treating a lysosomal storage disease through intranasal administration of a conjugate comprising one or more guanidinoglycosides and an enzyme useful for treating a lysosomal storage disease.

Disclosed herein are recombinant meganucleases engineered to recognize and cleave a recognition sequence present in the human T cell receptor alpha constant region gene. The present disclosure further relates to the use of such recombinant meganucleases in methods for producing genetically-modified eukaryotic cells.

Disclosed herein are recombinant meganucleases engineered to recognize and cleave a recognition sequence present in the human T cell receptor alpha constant region gene. The present disclosure further relates to the use of such recombinant meganucleases in methods for producing genetically-modified eukaryotic cells.

Described herein are protein-drug conjugates and compositions thereof that are useful, for example, for target-specific delivery of therapeutic moieties, e.g., camptothecin analogs and/or derivatives. In certain embodiments, provided are specific and efficient methods for producing protein-drug constructs (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates) utilizing a combination of transglutaminase and 1,3-cycloaddition techniques. Camptothecin analogs, antibody-drug conjugates, and compositions which comprise glutaminyl-modified antibodies and camptothecin analog payloads and are provided.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for inducing cell death in a regulated manner, for example in a safety switch system. Inducible cell death can be triggered by ligand binding to a one or more ligand binding domains. Cell death can include induction of apoptosis.

Disclosed herein are recombinant meganucleases engineered to recognize and cleave a recognition sequence present in the human T cell receptor alpha constant region gene. The present disclosure further relates to the use of such recombinant meganucleases in methods for producing genetically-modified eukaryotic cells.

The present invention relates to a specific conjugate of cytotoxic drugs and prodrug forms of said conjugate, for use in treating cancer and inflammatory diseases. The conjugate is represented by formula (I) wherein A represents a radical deriving from a cytotoxic drug, G is a self-immolative moiety, and m is 0 or 1, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
