Abstract

Methods and compositions for enhancing Wnt signaling pathway activities in a tissue of a subject have been developed for the treatment of cancer, in particular cancers with one or more mutations in the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene. Preferably, the amount of the compositions for enhancing Wnt signaling does not reduce or inhibit proliferation or viability of normal healthy cells in the subject. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions including an effective amount of one or more GSK-3 inhibitors are administered to reduce cancer cell proliferation or viability in a subject. A preferred GSK-3 inhibitor is LY2090314 encapsulated within, or associated with nanoparticles. Dosage forms of LY2090314 encapsulated within, or associated with nanoparticles for administration are also described.

Abstract

This disclosure provides a method for substantially increasing the concentration of cfDNA in a patient. By injecting a patient with lipid and/or polymer nanoparticles, agents that bind cfDNA, or inhibit deoxyribonucleases prior to collection of a sample of cfDNA, e.g., by way of a liquid biopsy, major pathways for the degradation of cfDNA are temporarily blocked, permitting transient accumulation of cfDNA. This strategy has the potential to dramatically enhance the quality of detection achieved by downstream cfDNA analytical applications, such as sequencing applications.

A system includes a processor, a non-transitory computer readable medium, storing executable instructions, and an output device. An interface is configured to receive a first set of patient data in real-time from at least one sensor monitoring vital signals of a patient during a surgical procedure and a second set of patient data in real-time from an anesthesia machine during the surgical procedure. An input interface receives an indicator representing at least an identity of a therapeutic to be administered to the patient. A machine learning model determines from the indicator, the first set of patient data, and the second set of patient data if an alert should be provided to a user. The output device provides the alert to the user if the machine learning model determines that the alert should be provided.

Abstract

Described are antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and the use of these polypeptides to inhibit the proliferation of regulatory T cells (T- regs) and/or myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), to expand T effector cell populations or function, and to reduce the proliferation of, or directly kill, tumor cells, such as tumor cells that express TNFR2 antigen. The polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, are TNFR2 antagonists, such as dominant TNFR2 antagonists. The polypeptides can be used to suppress the T-reg- or MDSC-mediated deactivation of tumor reactive T lymphocytes, expand populations of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells, and/or to directly kill TNFR2+ tumor cells. The antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides described herein can be used to treat a wide variety of cancers and infectious diseases.

Each child channel has an end portion communicating with a respective end portion of the first bifurcation and another end portion communicating with a second bifurcation, forming two grand-child channels from each child channel. Each grand-child channel has an end portion communicating with a respective end portion of the second bifurcation and another end portion. The other end portion of the grand-child channel either forms an outlet or a third child channel in communication with the grand-child channel. Each forming of grand-child channels defines a generation of the fractal structure. The devices are of use as scaffolds for seeding, growing, and maintaining cells implanted in and/or on the device.
