A method is presented for treating an inflammatory skin disorder in a human comprising: topically applying to the skin a composition comprising alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH) or an αMSH analog in an amount effective to reduce skin inflammation in the human.
Compositions and methods for the inhibition of DNA polymerases. The methods and compositions as described herein are useful in the treatment of cancer. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions comprising one or more of indole-derived compounds useful in treatment of cancers, including those which are resistant to genotoxic therapies.
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.
Recombinant T cell clonotypes are provided that express T cell receptor alpha and T cell receptor beta polypeptides with specificity for human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 E6 protein and that amplify in response to a therapeutic vaccine and traffic to ovarian lesional tissue in a patient whose HPV lesions regressed in response to the vaccine. Recombinant T cells expressing appropriate TCR alpha and beta complimentarity determining sequences for HPV 16 E6 binding and treating HPV-cased cancers are provided. Bifunctional proteins having TCR alpha and beta segments that bind to HPV 16 E6 residues 91-115 and a single chain Fv anti-CD3 antibody domain are provided. These bifunctional proteins can direct T cells to HPV-infected cells.
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for selectively killing senescent cells, wherein the selective killing of senescent cells delays aging and treats age-related disorders.
“The present disclosure provides methods of inhibiting PARG in cancer cells, including methods comprising administering a PARG inhibitor that modulates position Tyr795 in PARG. Also provided herein are methods of treating and/or preventing cancer comprising administering a PARG inhibitor. In some embodiments, the PARG inhibitors are of the formula: wherein the variables are defined herein.
This invention describes a small molecule proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) strategy to degrade the NEK2 (Never in Mitosis Related Kinase 2) protein and methods of use thereof. The NEK2 PROTAC consists of three, key regions: a NEK2 ligand to bind the NEK2 protein, a linker region to link the NEK2 ligand to a ligase ligand, and the ligase ligand.
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 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.
