USE OF PLL FOR IMPROVING THE STABILITY OF MOLECULES IN SOLUTION
The invention relates to a molecular complex comprising at least one polylysine conjugate (PLL), comprising a main PLL straight chain and at least one molecule F having an average molecular weight of between 50 daltons and 1000 daltons that is covalently bonded to said main chain, and at least one molecule M that is unstable in solution, the conjugate(s) and the molecule(s) M being bonded by means of a non-covalent bond. The invention also relates to a composition comprising a complex of this kind, to a method for obtaining said composition and use thereof, and to the use of one or more PLL-based conjugates for improving the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, over a time period that is compatible with the use of said molecule. The invention also relates to a method for identifying a PLL-based conjugate or a combination of a plurality of PLL-based conjugates that makes it possible to improve the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, and to a kit for implementing said method.
COMPOSITIONS PROVIDING SLOW RELEASE OF CAFFEINE AND BEVERAGES COMPRISING THE SAME

NANO-ENABLED IMMUNOTHERAPY IN CANCER
In certain embodiments a platform technology for the facilitating immune therapy in the treatment of cancer is provided. In certain embodiments nanocarriers are provided that facilitate delivery of an IDO inhibitor in conjunction with an inducer of cell death (ICD-inducer). In certain embodiments the IDO inhibitor is conjugated to a component of a lipid bilayer forming a nanovesicle. In still another embodiment, methods and compositions are provided where an ICD-inducing agent (e.g., doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, mitoxantrone etc.) and an IDO pathway inhibitor (e.g., an IDO inhibitor-prodrug) are integrated into a nanocarrier (e.g. a lipid-bilayer (LB)-coated nanoparticle), that allows systemic delivery to orthotopic pancreatic cancer site.
