Methods and compositions for the treatment of steatosis-associated disorders
The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating a steatosis-associated disorder by administering a therapeutic agent selected from a lysosomal enzyme, an autophagy-inducing agent, or a combination thereof. Steatosis-associated disorders discussed herein include GSD Ia, GSD Ib, GSD Ic, NAFLD, and NASH. Other embodiments are directed to methods of reversing steatosis, modulating autophagy, inducing autophagy, and reversing glycogen storage.
Methods and Compositions for the Treatment of Cytoplasmic Glycogen Storage Disorders
The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating a steatosis-associated disorder and methods of treating a cytoplasmic glycogen storage disorder, including glycogen storage disease I, glycogen storage disease III, glycogen storage disease IV, and/or conditions associated with a PRKAG2 mutation, by administering a therapeutic agent selected from a lysosomal enzyme, an autophagy-inducing agent, or a combination thereof. Steatosis-associated disorders discussed herein include GSD Ia, GSD Ib, GSD Ic, NAFLD, and NASH. Other embodiments are directed to methods of reversing steatosis, modulating autophagy, inducing autophagy, and reversing glycogen storage. Methods of treating a cytoplasmic glycogen storage disorder by administering a lysosomal enzyme and a second therapeutic agent are also described. Other embodiments are directed to methods of treating a cytoplasmic glycogen storage disorder by administering a therapeutic agent as an adjunctive therapy to lysosomal enzyme replacement therapy.
ENZYMATIC COMPOSITIONS FOR CARBOHYDRATE ANTIGEN CLEAVAGE ON DONOR ORGANS, METHODS AND USES ASSOCIATED THEREWITH
Provided herein are perfusion fluids for enzymatically cleaving A-antigens from a donor organ, and methods, uses, associated therewith. In particular, the perfusion fluids comprise two enzymes, GalNAcDeacetylase and Galactosaminidase and the fluids may further comprise a buffered extracellular solution and/or a crowing agent. Furthermore, the compositions described herein were found to have activity at temperatures and pH levels suitable for cell viability.

Human alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase polypeptide
The present invention provides new forms of human α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (NAGAL) polypeptide or a functionally active variant or fragment thereof, nucleic acids encoding the same, and related products and uses, including use in methods of treating Fabry disease, Schindler disease or Kanzaki disease.
Immobilized Enzyme Complexes and Related Methods
Immobilized enzyme complexes (IEC) with enzymes that are non-covalently linked to matrices are provided along with methods for making the same. Methods of using the IEC for a wide variety of industrial enzymatic processes are also provided. Methods of converting cellulosic biomass and methods of effecting blood type conversions with the IEC are amongst the methods disclosed.
MACROPHAGE ACTIVATOR
A macrophage activator containing a Gc protein is provided by a simple process. The macrophage activator contains a Gc protein with no N-acetylgalactosamine attached thereto.
