Provided herein are methods and compositions for inhibiting p97, for the treatment of a coronavirus infection in a subject, or a symptom thereof. Upon treatment, the coronavirus infection, or a symptom thereof is reduced in the subject.

Current application relates to the field of neurodegenerative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to screening methods to identify compounds that can reduce the production of amyloidogenic Amyloid beta fragments. Said compounds can be used in treatments of for example Alzheimer's disease.

In some aspects, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for detecting and monitoring the activity of proteases in vivo using affinity assays. The disclosure relates, in part, to the discovery that biomarker nanoparticles targeted to the lymph nodes of a subject are useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of certain medical conditions (e.g., metastatic cancer, infection with certain pathogenic agents).

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for cancer diagnosis, research and therapy, including but not limited to, cancer markers. In particular, the present invention relates to LRG1 protein markers for use in the diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment of prostate cancer.

The invention provides an antibody or antigen binding fragments thereof that binds to 3pE Aβ and methods of making and using the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, including use for formulations, administration and kits. The antibody and antigen binding fragments thereof and methods disclosed are useful for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease or other β-amyloid-related diseases.

Methods for identifying a compound that modulates activity of an iRhom polypeptide according to aspects of the present invention are described herein which include contacting a cell expressing an iRhom polypeptide with a test compound; and determining the effect of the compound on activity of the iRhom polypeptide. Detection of a decrease in proteolytic activity of the iRhom polypeptide indicates that the compound is capable of one or more of: reducing tumor growth, reducing tumor progression, treatment of cancer and promoting hair growth in a subject, and detecting an increase in proteolytic activity of the iRhom polypeptide indicates that the compound is capable of accelerating wound healing in a subject.

The present invention relates to administration methods and dosage regimens for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases using trametinib and markers. The administration methods and dosage regimens induce neural regeneration and changes in gene expression.

A method of treating lung cancer is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that downregulates an amount or activity of a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of CASC5, MYOF, CTNS, FCGR2B, PCDHGC5, POMGNT2, ACSL1, CTAGE5, TECPR2, WDR48, MCPH1, PPP2R3C, ADRB1, JAG2, GEMIN7, PTPRB, PRMT9, PSME4, Ube2L3, TP53RK and PSME3.

The present disclosure provides methods of treating subjects having uveitis, and methods of identifying subjects having an increased risk of developing uveitis.

The present disclosure provides a kit for detecting an anti-proteasome subunit alpha type 1-immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, including an antigen protein proteasome subunit alpha type 1, a solid phase carrier, a labeled antibody, an antigen diluent, a sample dilution buffer, an antibody diluent, a substrate color development reagent, a washing solution, a standard, a positive quality control, and a negative quality control. In the present disclosure, the kit is capable of detecting the anti-proteasome subunit alpha type 1-IgG antibody in serum to be tested by indirect reaction combined with magnetic particle-based chemiluminescence immunoassay. Autoantibodies against the target antigen protein proteasome subunit alpha type 1 are identified in the serum of a patient with autoimmune nephrotic syndrome for the first time.
