Abstract: The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to transthyretin (TTR). The antibodies can be used for treating or effecting prophylaxis of diseases or disorders associated with TTR accumulation or accumulation of TTR deposits (e.g., TTR amyloidosis). The antibodies can also be used for diagnosing TTR amyloidosis and inhibiting or reducing aggregation of TTR, among other applications.

Abstract: A soft tissue filler comprising a biodegradable amino-acid derived polycarbonate-urethanes and methods of repairing soft tissue defects are provided. The biodegradable soft tissue filler comprises a porous scaffold that is the reaction product of: a) a divinyl oligomer component that comprises a carbonate-derived divinyl oligomer that is the reaction product of a lysine-derived diisocyanate, a vinyl coupling agent, and a polycarbonate and, optionally, an ether-derived divinyl oligomer, wherein the ether-derived divinyl oligomer is the reaction product of a lysine-derived diisocyanate, a vinyl coupling agent, and an ether; b) at least one anionic monomer; and c) at least one hydrophobic monomer. The molar ratio of (a):(b+c) is between about 1:≥21 and about 1:30, the soft tissue filler has a porosity of >75%; and a compressive moduli of between about 1 kPa and about 50 kPa.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to iteratively reconstruct a computed tomography (CT) image using a spatially-varying content-oriented regularization parameter, thereby achieving uniform statistical properties within respective organs/regions and different statistical properties (e.g., degree of smoothing and noise level) among the respective organs/regions. For example, less smoothing and sharper features/resolution can be applied within a lung region than within a soft-tissue region by using a smaller regularization parameter value in the lung region than in the soft-tissue region. This can be achieved, e.g., using a minimum intensity projection to suppress/eliminate sub-solid nodules in the lung region. The content-oriented regularization parameter can be generated by reconstructing an initial CT image, which is then segmented/classified according to organs and/or tissue type. Segmenting the image and generating the content-oriented regularization parameter can be integrated into one process by applying an HU-to-β mapping to the CT image.

Abstract: Methods for producing hepatocyte and/or cholangiocyte lineage cells from pluripotent stem cells, the method comprising (a) specifying the extended nodal agonist treated induced endodermal cell population to obtain a cell population comprising hepatocyte and/or cholangiocyte progenitors by contacting the extended nodal agonist treated induced endodermal cell population with specification media comprising a FGF agonist and a BMP4 agonist and/or active conjugates and/or fragments thereof; (b) inducing maturation, and optionally further lineage specification and/or expansion of the hepatocyte and/or cholangiocyte progenitors of the cell population to obtain a population comprising hepatocyte lineage cells such as hepatoblasts, hepatocytes and/or cholangiocytes, the inducing maturation step comprising generating aggregates of the cell population. Optionally, the method also comprises activating the cAMP pathway within the aggregates and forming co-aggregates.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of cancer using double negative T cells (DNTs) and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor are described. Tumors treated with DNTs and a PD-1 inhibitor exhibited increased DNT cell infiltration and increased cytotoxicity towards non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Also described are compositions and kits comprising DNTs and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor and their use for the treatment of cancer.
