Abstract:
There is disclosed herein methods, uses and systems for the detection, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment or prevention of a disease or condition comprising cartilage degeneration in a subject that is in need thereof. The methods comprise the use, inhibition or measurement of at least one of miR-181 a-5p and miR-4454, in the subject.
Abstract:
There is described herein a method of prognosing or classifying a subject with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprising: (a) determining the expression level of at least 3 genes in a test sample from the subject selected from the group consisting of DNMT3B, ZBTB46, NYNRIN, ARHGAP22, LAPTM4B, MMRN1, DPYSL3, KIAAQ125. CDK6, CPXM1, SOCS2, SMIM24, EMP1, NGFRAP1, CD34, AKR1C3, GPR56; and (b) comparing expression of the at least 3 genes in the test sample with reference expression levels of the at least 3 genes from control samples from a cohort of patients; wherein a difference or similarity in the expression of the at least 3 genes in the test sample and the reference expression levels is used to prognose or classify the subject with AML into a low risk group or a high risk group for worse survival.

Abstract:
The present application relates to a-substituted amino acid compounds of the Formula (I), compositions comprising these compounds and their use, in particular for the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions characterized by or associated with the hypercitrullination of proteins by peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes.
Abstract:
Treatment of cancer in a patient comprises administering to the patient an effective amount of an antibody and an effective amount of NK cells, wherein the antibody binds an antigen on the surface of the NK cells and the antibody binds to an Fc receptor on a cell of the cancer. Anticancer activity is via resultant killing action of the NK cell on the cancer cell now binding the antibody via R-ADCC.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for producing compositions comprising a population of cardiomyocytes enriched for or substantially devoid of sinoatrial node-like pacemaker cardiomyocytes (SANLCM) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), and methods of use thereof.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising a radio-protective agent and methods of using such compositions to attenuate or otherwise protect an organism from the adverse effects arising from exposure to ionizing radiation are disclosed. Preferably, the radio-protective agent is an antioxidant and serves to protect the DNA of the organism from damage due to free radicals generated by the ionizing radiation. The methods of use preferably entail determining the timing, duration, and amount of exposure to ionizing radiation and thereby tailoring the administration of the radio-protective agent to protect against the DNA damage expected to arise from such exposure. Potential sources of ionizing radiation include medical imaging (e.g., x-rays, computed tomography, and other techniques in nuclear medicine), radiation therapy, and exposure to radiation in the upper atmosphere (i.e., when flying in an aircraft or space craft).
Abstract:
The invention is a compound represented by Structural Formula (I): (I); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Values for the variables are provided herein. Also included is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound represented by Structural Formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent and methods of treating a subject with cancer with the compound of Structural Formula (I).
Abstract:
A compound of formula (I) as described herein and methods and uses thereof as probes in the mass tagging of biosensors or biologically active materials for use in mass cytometry analysis of tissue samples such as in the detection, labelling and quantification of oxygen-deprived cells by using, for example, tellurophene-tagged 2-nitroimidazole.
