The disclosure is directed to compositions and methods comprising genetically engineered fibroblasts for inhibiting progression of a cancerous tumor.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods that are useful for normalizing the amount of signal detected in an assay, such as an immunoassay. The compositions and methods are useful for improving the accuracy of immunoassays, such as immunoassays that detect whether a subject is infected with a retrovirus such as HIV.

A method to prepare a mixture to make cereal-based food products which natively contain gluten includes a step of mixing cereal flour and a step of preparing a mixture obtained by mixing a hydrolyzed flour composition with a transglutaminase enzyme and with a source of lysine.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel transglutaminase that is useful for food or medical applications. The present invention provides: a transglutaminase having an amino acid sequence that has an identity of 90% or more with respect to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2; and an enzyme preparation containing said transglutaminase as an active ingredient. The enzyme preparation is particularly useful for food production and medical applications.

The present disclosure provides for antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, methods of preparation thereof, and methods of use thereof. Also provided are related compounds, compositions and kits.

A method and a mineral wool product include a multiple of lamellae, such as a sandwich panel core. The product includes a plurality of lamellae cut from a mineral wool web, and bonded together by applying an adhesive on the surfaces of two adjacent lamellae to form a web-like product, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

Described herein are compounds and methods for tethering proteins. For example, dimers of Protein X listed in Table 1 are described, where the dimers are formed by the covalent bonding of a cysteine on the first monomer to a cysteine on the second monomer via a cyclic disulfide linker. The covalently attached dimers exhibit increased stabilization and can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases (such as, for example, Parkinson's Disease, ALS, Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Epilepsy, Frontotemporal Dementia, and/or DMD), cancer, autoimmune disease, and/or Celiac disease.

The present disclosure provides for antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, methods of preparation thereof, and methods of use thereof. Also provided are related compounds, compositions and kits.

The present invention addresses the issues of finding a novel mutation effective for the improvement of transglutaminase and providing a highly useful modified transglutaminase. Disclosed is a highly useful modified transglutaminase having an amino acid substitution that results in an increase of high temperature reactivity or a lowering in pH stability in a weakly acidic region.

Methods of processing protein, methods of generating products with the processed protein, and products comprising and/or made with the processed protein. The methods of processing protein include hydrolyzing the protein with a proteolytic agent such as thermolysin to generate hydrolyzed peptides and, optionally, crosslinking the hydrolyzed peptides with a transglutaminase to generate crosslinked peptides. The methods reduce the allergenicity of allergenicity proteins such as β-lactoglobulin and casein. The methods of generating products with the processed protein include methods of making foams, emulsions, and/or food products with the processed protein. The products comprising and/or made with the processed protein accordingly include foams, emulsions, and food products. The foams, emulsions, and food products have decreased allergenicity compared to corresponding products made with non-processed proteins.
