Compositions comprising donor cells, acceptor cells, membrane-enclosed bodies and methods are described herein.

Blood and bodily fluid reader systems, including circulating biomarkers involving multiple mitochondrial releasates for providing real-time, at-the-scene objective indicia of individuals sustaining mild TBI.

Compositions and methods are provided for loading cargoes onto red blood cells. Provided herein are novel antibodies, fragments, fusion proteins and other conjugates which specifically bind red blood cells via RHCE or Band 3.

The invention relates to 55 newly discovered proteins, which are present in isolated purified protein complexes, derived medicinal products, recombinant DNA, engineered DNA, cDNA, monoclonal and natural products or synthesized products as part of nutrition, food, and/or supplemental products and their applications.

The present invention is a novel blood or plasma panel with utility in assessing chronic liver disease severity in a point-of-care setting. The scoring system exhibits 97.2% correlation to previously assigned Child Pugh scores and does not require clinical assessment beyond laboratory testing.

The present invention provides transgenic animals (e.g., transgenic porcine animals), organs, tissues, and cells derived from the transgenic animals that are particularly useful for xenotransplantation therapies. In particular, the present invention provides transgenic porcine animals, as well as organs, tissues and cells derived from the transgenic porcine animals, which lack any expression of a functional alpha 1,3 galactosyltransferase (GTKO) gene and comprise at least six transgenes under the control of at least three promoters within a single multi-gene expression vector, and further comprise at least four additional genetic modifications. Also provided are methods of making the transgenic animals (e.g., transgenic porcine animals), and methods of using the transgenic animals, organs, tissues, and cells derived from the transgenic animals for xenotransplantation therapies and treating a disease or condition.

The present invention relates to a transgenic cloned pig for xenotransplantation in which porcine endogenous retrovirus (RUN) EnvC is negative, α1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1), CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH), isoglobotrihexosylceramide synthase (iGb3s), and beta-I,4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl transferase2 (β4GalNT2) are knocked out, and human CD46 and thrombomodulin (TBM) genes are expressed, and to a method of preparing the transgenic cloned pig. The transgenic cloned pig according to the present invention may overcome hyperacute and antigen-antibody mediated immune rejection reaction, immune rejection reaction due to blood coagulation, and immune rejection reaction due to complement activity, without causing transfer of porcine endogenous retrovirus that occurs in xenotransplantation. Therefore, the transgenic cloned pig according to the present invention may be usefully utilized as a donor animal for xenotransplantation of organs and cells.

Compositions and methods for regulating the blood coagulation pathway are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to thrombin-thrombomodulin fusion proteins and their use as blood anticoagulants and for treating sepsis.

Compositions and methods are provided for loading cargoes onto red blood cells. Provided herein are novel antibodies, fragments, fusion proteins and other conjugates which specifically bind red blood cells via RHCE or Band 3.

Blood and bodily fluid reader systems, including circulating biomarkers involving multiple mitochondrial releasates for providing real-time, at-the-scene objective indicia of individuals sustaining mild TBI. As a therapeutic component for related neuroin-flammation of mild TBI and related injuries, medicaments, compounds and methods include chimeric proteins which combine: (i) a first polypeptide sequence derived from the “Box A” domain of the “High-Mobility Group Box 1” Protein ( HMGB1) protein; and, (ii) a second polypeptide sequence derived from the D1 lectin-like domain of thrombomodulin (TM). These chimeric proteins both activate and promote certain repair-type functions within the brain, up to and in some cases including the growth of new neuronal fibers and/or the creation of new synaptic junctions; and, keep those types of inflammation-triggered repair processes within healthy and desirable limits.
