The invention relates to the prevention and treatment of pathologic scars using APC or analogue thereof.

The invention relates to methods of using an effective amount of activated protein C (APC) to treat an individual for a skin disorder characterised by the presence of hyperproliferative keratinocytes.

The peptide inhibitor of PSD-95, Tat-NR2B9c, is cleaved by the serum protease, plasmin, inducible by thrombolytic agents. Conversely, Tat-NR2B9c has no detrimental effect on the activity of a thrombolytic agent. Inactivation of Tat-NR2B9c by thrombolytic agents can be reduced or avoided by several approaches including spacing the administration of the respective agents to avoid substantial overlap in plasma residence between Tat-NR2B9c and plasmin, using mechanical instead of thrombolytic reperfusion or using active agent that inhibits PSD-95 not subject to cleavage by plasmin, e.g., D-amino acid variants of Tat-NR2B9c.

A horseshoe crab Factor C protein having activity of Factor C, wherein the horseshoe crab is selected from Tachypleus tridentatus, Limulus polyphemus, and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, and wherein the horseshoe crab Factor C protein is produced through being recombinantly expressed from a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) DG44 cell or HEK cell.

Compositions and methods for therapeutic delivery are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to nanoparticle compositions that sequester the activity of a target molecule while leaving other domains accessible to bind targeted tissues of interest. Methods for thrombus dissolution include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can dissolve a blood clot. Compositions and methods for inducing blood clotting are also disclosed. Methods for inducing blood clotting include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can induce the formation of a blood clot. Methods for sequestering a target molecule are also disclosed. The method includes reversibly coupling a target molecule to a nanoparticle having an affinity ligand that reversibly couples the target molecule, and thus, sequesters the target molecule activity until the target molecule interacts with its substrate resulting in the release of the target molecule.

A horseshoe crab Factor C protein having activity of Factor C, wherein the horseshoe crab is selected from Tachypleus tridentatus, Limulus polyphemus, and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, and wherein the horseshoe crab Factor C protein is produced through being recombinantly expressed from a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) DG44 cell or HEK cell.

This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures.

A method of treating or preventing adverse outcomes associated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration, cerebral edema-related side effects, cerebral edema associated with radiation therapy, or migraine headaches by administering an effective amount of a SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor, such as glyburide, and optionally the co-administration of a second therapeutically active agent, to a subject in need thereof. Adverse outcomes associated with tPA include cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral edema, physical impairment or death. The administration of the SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitors occurs prior to the radiation therapy, during the radiation therapy, after the radiation therapy, or combinations thereof. The SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor is administered prior to surgical excision of a brain tumor, CAR-T therapy, or administration of flutarabine. Alternatively, or in addition, the SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor is administered prior the onset of the cerebral edema-related side effects.
