Abstract

A method to precisely tailor the surface topography of polymeric nanoparticles having bound thereto polyalkylene oxide and to improve their systemic circulation and diseased tissue accumulation, based on tuning the architecture of shape-persistent amphiphilic bottlebrush block copolymer (BBCP) building blocks and inclusion of small molecule chemical modifications, has been developed. It was demonstrated that nanoparticle formation and surface topography can be controlled by systematically changing structural parameters of BBCP architecture. The surface topography of PEGylated nanoparticles (nanoparticles having PEO or PEG covalently bound thereto) and the presence of hydrophobic small molecule modifications, cationic small molecule modifications, and/or small molecule modifications containing a positively ionizable atom significantly affects their biological performance.

Abstract

Dkk1Dkk1+ progenitors transiently amplify to become quiescent dermal condensate cells by the spatiotemporal patterning of Wnt/β-catenin and sonic hedgehog ("SHH") signaling gradients. Together, they deterministically coordinate a rapid transition from proliferation to quiescence, cell fate specification, and morphogenesis. This is useful for screening to discover compounds that can be administered to hair follicles to stimulate hair growth (new hair follicles) and restore hair follicle size. These agonists of Wnt and SHH are formulated for application to skin to grow hair.

Abstract

Methods of isolating and sequencing aberrant expansion-specific RNA sequences using antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) specific for repeat-containing RNAs have been established. The methods isolate repeat-containing RNAs from RNA using hybridization probes specific for repeat-containing sequences. Typically, RNA capture is performed by preferential hybridization of repeat-containing RNAs to a multiplicity of immobilized probes. The methods isolate expansion-specific RNAs and determine the sequences of aberrant splice variants associated with diseases and disorders. In other forms, the methods identify small molecules that selectively target the pathological splice variant transcripts. In some forms, the methods provide expansion-specific ASOs that specifically target and eliminate the pathological splice variant transcripts in vivo. Compositions of ASOs that specifically target and eliminate the pathological splice variant transcripts are also provided.

Abstract

A bioadhesive nanoparticle (BNP) for long-lasting local drug delivery to treat cancer was developed. The bioadhesive nanoparticles (BNP) are composed of biodegradable polymer such as poly(lactic acid)-hyperbranched polyglycerol (PLA-HPG), encapsulating a chemotherapeutic such as camptothecin (CPT). Nanoparticles (NPs) of PLA-HPG are non-adhesive NPs (NNPs), which are stealthy in their native state, but conversion of the vicinal diols of HPG to aldehydes confers the ability to form strong covalent bonds with amine-rich surfaces. The formulation is administered in combination with immunostimulatory molecules such as CPG and shows unexpectedly better killing of cancer cells.

Abstract

Poly arid perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are toxic, ubiquitous contaminants in the environment along with drinking and waste water systems. Current treatment approaches struggle to effectively treat PEAS molecules without generating large amounts of toxic waste or requiring large energy and/or material inputs. With addition of alcohol such as decanol alone, PFAS such as water-soluble perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), can be transformed into a water-insoluble, fluorinated ester(s) that precipitate out of solution, facilitating self-removal. Highly hydrophobic fluorinated tails allow for esterification to proceed in water without the addition of any surfactant.

Abstract

Techniques are described for implementing a class of multimode bosonic codes that protect against errors within an ancilla qubit coupled to a bosonic system, that can be realized experimentally. A logical qubit state is represented by the states of multiple different modes of one or more bosonic systems, which may include multiple modes of a single bosonic system and/or single modes from multiple bosonic systems. Techniques for correcting errors are also described. In particular, a series of operations are described that autonomously detect and correct errors by repeatedly performing a sequence of operations that are each applied to the multiple bosonic modes and/or to the ancilla qubit that is coupled to each of the bosonic modes. The codes allow ancilla errors to propagate to the modes of the bosonic system as correctable errors, where they can be corrected, instead of presenting as logical errors in the ancilla qubit.

Abstract

Provided herein are methods of developing a meta-modeling framework for ligand-protein binding affinity prediction by integrating empirical scoring function-based docking and deep learning-based regression outputs through linear and non-linear machine learning models. Thus, empirical docking models and deep learning models were used as base models data. By taking predictions from those base models, machine learning regression models were developed as meta-models. These meta-models significantly improve binding affinity prediction over individual base models and achieve comparable performance to other structure-based deep learning models.

Abstract

The description relates to imide-based compounds, including bifunctional compounds comprising the same, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the description provides compounds, which contain on one end a ligand which binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. Compounds can be synthesized that exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides of nearly any type.
