Abstract

The present disclosure described bi-functional delivery particles with the ability to bind to two different cell types in a distinct fashion. Employing a first ligand with differential binding capabilities, the delivery particles may bind to a first target, such as cell, in a reversible fashion such that when they encounter a second target (e.g., cell) a second ligand that bind irreversibly to the second target will disrupt the binding to the first target. As such, the first target acts as a carrier to delivery the particle to a diagnostic or therapeutic second target. In particular aspects, the first and second cells are circulating cells.

Abstract

Variation in a single nucleotide of a target or template nucleic acid may be significant in many ways. For infectious disease, many drug resistance mutations are known and a simple means to confine their absence would more quickly match a patient with an infection with the most effective treatment. This disclosure provides for a simple, low resource strategy allowing the detection of single nucleotide variation using only low-cost diagnostic methods already available in many locations. A key to this approach is the use of left-handed DNA (L-DNA) as a comparator molecule for D-DNA targets. L-DNA provides numerous additional advantages such as low cost and stability.

Abstract

A minimally invasive device, containing a pressure channel, camera, and optical fiber imaging probe, to measure the stiffness of tissues in vivo and ex vivo is disclosed. To measure tissue stiffness in vivo, the device is inserted into a patient and navigated to a tissue of interest, where stiffness is evaluated by applying suction and measuring the elongation or by applying compression force and measuring the compression of the tissue. Biopsies can be taken for further analysis, or tissue can be removed using an ablation laser. Small fluorescent molecules or therapeutics can also be delivered for improved visualization and targeted treatment. As such, this technology may be used to evaluate the stiffness of biomaterials as well as tissues and organs that are difficult to access, allowing for simultaneous diagnosis, treatment, and excision of diseased tissues.

Abstract

Soluble amyloid-b oligomers (SAbOs) accumulate early, prior to amyloid plaque formation. Because SAbOs may provide an earlier and more direct indication of disease progression, this makes them potentially better markers for detecting AD in its preclinical or early stages, when interventions may be more effective. The presently disclosed subject matter describes novel anti-SAbO nanobodies generated from an alpaca immunized with SAbO. The nanobody or fragment thereof that binds SAbO and optionally comprises a cargo molecule. Because of their small size as compared with antibodies, the disclosed nanobodies not only cross the blood brain barrier, but may also be able to cross cell membranes.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in men and women. Uncontrolled proliferation of CRC cells is pivotal in colorectal tumorigenesis and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an important regulatory enzyme in this process. Timely diagnosis is the key to life-saving management of CRC, which is under-diagnosed because colorectal aberrant crypt foci, hyper plastic polyps, micro edemas are often missed with conventional colonoscopy. Disclosed herein are imaging agents tagged to nanobodies specific for COX-2 protein that can selectively accumulate and retain in COX-2 expressing cells and colorectal adenomas, resulting in specific and sensitive of early detection, while reducing background and off-target systemic toxicity. The prospect of combining structural and functional imaging readouts obtained with fluorescence-aided colonoscopy measurements would provide powerful diagnostic information for improved management of colorectal carcinogenesis.

Abstract

Some T-cell receptors (TCRs) require many ligands for activation while others need only a few, functioning in analog or digital modes, correspondingly. Digital performance is best but undiscernible using conventional functional avidity or TCR sequence distance metrics. Correlates of optimal biophysical parameters include magnitudes of ERK phosphorylation, CD3 surface loss, and activation marker upregulation. The disclosed findings underscore the requirement to match TCR performance quality with pMHC copy number, as nature does. Given tumor antigen array paucity, engaging superior digital TCRs appears critical for T-cell adoptive cancer therapies and vaccines. Therefore, disclosed herein are methods for detecting digital T cell receptor interactions with presented antigen and selecting a T cell or antigen based on these methods. Also disclosed are adoptive cell transfer methods for treating a subject with digital T cells identified by the disclosed methods. In addition, disclosed are methods for designing RNA vaccines based on the copy number that elicits a digital T cell response.

Abstract

This invention provides methods for treating endothelial dysfunction by administering an effective amount of citrulline to a patient. The patients may be suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, or infection by COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019); COVID-19 patients may be at risk of developing endothelial dysfunction, or they may be experiencing endothelial dysfunction. The effective amount of citrulline is sufficient to reduce the uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or to reduce the formation of free radicals. Citrulline may be administered orally; intravenously; or both orally and intravenously in a sequential manner. Sequential administration of citrulline may be in three phases, such as (a) an initial phase in which citrulline is administered orally, (b) an intermediate phase wherein citrulline is administered intravenously, and (c) a final phase wherein citrulline is administered orally. The intermediate phase may be while the patient's breathing is being assisted mechanically.
