The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for increasing the production of virus in vitro. Modified cells which are modified to eliminate or reduce as compared to a control cell the activity or expression of a Sterile a motif-domain containing protein 9 (SAMD9) polypeptide are provided. Methods of using these cells are also provided.
The present invention provides methods of treating bone loss or cancer using CST6. In these methods, CST6 may be provided as a recombinant CST6 protein, a polynucleotide construct comprising CST6, or an immune cell expressing CST6 protein.
Disclosed herein are RNA methyltransf erase inhibitors and methods of using and making the same. The inhibitors may be used in a method for the treatment of a subject in need of a treatment for a cancer by administering an effective amount of the RNA methyltransferase inhibitor and an effective amount of a DNA damaging agent to the subject.
The present invention encompasses an amino acid composition for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Further, the present disclosure relates generally to the use of an anabolic amino acid composition for the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis. In particular, disclosed are compositions and methods of using the same for the prevention and/or treatment of a loss of any one of muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle function, and physical function, or any combination thereof, in a mammal, especially an adult mammal. Also provided are kits comprising a composition for the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis and, in certain embodiments, instructions for administration.
A device and method of using the device to detect the presence and composition of clots and other target objects in a circulatory vessel of a living subject is described. In particular, devices and methods of detecting the presence and composition of clots and other target objects in a circulatory vessel of a living subject using in vivo photoacoustic flow cytometry techniques is described.

Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of compositions and methods for targeted treatment of cancers or neoplasms. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to a photodynamic system comprising a nanoparticle conjugated to a photosensitizer that can be activated by an excitation source such as ionizing radiation or other forms of electromagnetic energy.
Provided herein are methods for generating reversion free attenuated and/or replication incompetent vaccine vectors and their use in vaccine compositions and vaccination. In particular, the use of a codon shuffled helper gene is used to produce compositions comprising replication incompetent virus.
A fractionated photoacoustic flow cytometry (PAFC) system and methods for the in vivo detection of target objects in biofluidic systems (e.g., blood, lymph, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid) of a living organism is described. The fractionated system includes a fractionated laser system, a fractionated optical system, a fractionated acoustic system, and combinations thereof. The fractionated laser system includes at least one laser or laser array for pulsing a target object within the circulatory vessel with fractionated focused laser beams. The fractionated optical system separates one or several laser beams into multiple beams in a spatial configuration on the skin above the circulatory vessel of the living organism. The fractionated acoustic system includes multiple focused ultrasound transducers for receiving photoacoustic signals emitted by the target object in response to the fractionated laser beams.
The present invention provides dehydroleucodine derivatives. In particular, the present invention provides amine derivatives of dehydroleucodine and methods of using dehydroleucodine and the amine derivatives of dehydroleucodine to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
