Compositions and methods are provided for the silencing of the NSD3 gene. Specifically, siRNA compositions are provided that contain siRNA molecules that target the wild-type NSD3 gene or the NSD3.sub.T1232A mutant. Methods for using these compositions for treating cancer also are provided.

The presently disclosed drug-loaded liposomal conjugated to polymer microbubbles showed: i) increased tumor drug concentration; ii) reduced tumor growth; and ii) increased survival time in a mouse cancer model when exposed to concurrent high and low acoustic pressure ultrasonic pulses as compared to individual high or low acoustic pressure ultrasonic pulses. Notably, when unconjugated drug-loaded liposome were administered with free microbubbles and exposed to concurrent high and low acoustic pressure ultrasonic pulses, a superior tumor growth inhibition was also seen. Three weeks after treatments, DoxLPX+US group showed significantly better left ventricular function indices from echocardiography imaging than the free Dox group. Clinical methods using these liposomal conjugated microbubbles permit an increased therapeutic drug delivery and improved safety profile, respectively due to enhanced, preferential drug accumulation in target tumor tissue and simultaneously reduced drug delivery to non-target tissue.

Described herein are compositions of antibodies and carrier proteins and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic. Also described are lyophilized compositions of antibodies and carrier proteins and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for the use in the fields of cancer, immunotherapy and biotechnology. Particularly it relates to the field of gellan gum hydrogel-like particles for artificial antigen presentation in immunotherapy.

The present disclosure provides a biocompatible polymer, and the polymer includes the embolic microbead including an iron adsorption block capable of adsorbing an iron component. The embolic microbead according to the an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure adsorbs iron and thus effectively blocks an iron component delivered to cancer cells, and when used in embolization, it has an improved effect in treating cancers, such as liver cancer.

Described herein are methods, formulations and kits for treating a patient with triple-negative breast cancer with nanoparticle complexes comprising a carrier protein (e.g., albumin), paclitaxel and a binding agent specific for a target antigen expressed by the cells (e.g., an anti-VEGF antibody).

Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are recombinant Arc and endogenous Gag polypeptides, and methods of using recombinant Arc and endogenous Gag polypeptides.

Compositions and pharmaceutical forms for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus, which contain in its formulation non-hydrolyzed collagen as a surfactant with degreasing properties and natural active ingredients in the form of hydrolyzed powders of aqueous extracts of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Anamu (Petiveria Alliacea), Epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides), oregano (Origanum vulgare), star anise (Lllicium verun) together with preservatives, as well as the obtaining and preparation procedures associated with the development of the different compositions and pharmaceutical forms.

This disclosure provides particles that are suitable for remotely-triggered therapy for cancer and microbial infection. In an embodiment, this disclosure provides a particle heater comprising a carrier admixed with a material that interacts with an exogenous source; wherein the material absorbs and converts the energy from the exogenous source into heat, then the heat travels outside the particle heater to induce localized hyperthermia at a temperature sufficient to selectively kill unwanted cells, and further wherein the particle heater structure is constructed such that it passes the Extractable Cytotoxicity Test.

The present invention relates to a composition in the form of a thermoformed extrudate comprising at least one triterpene and/or at least one triterpenoid and/or at least one of the glycosylated forms thereof and at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of natural or synthetic proteins, natural or synthetic oligosaccharides, natural or synthetic polysaccharides, the derivatives thereof and the mixtures thereof, said at least one triterpene and/or said at least one triterpenoid and/or said at least one of the glycosylated forms thereof comprising at least one first amorphous phase and optionally one second crystalline phase. The present invention also relates to the method for manufacturing by thermoforming such a composition and to the use thereof.
