Abstract: The invention provides structurally-constrained peptides by hydrocarbon stapling of a BCL9 HD2 helix for use as a therapeutic agent. The invention further provides methods and kits for use of the structurally-constrained peptide of the instant invention. The invention is based, at least in part, on the results provided herein demonstrating that hydrocarbon stapled helical peptides display excellent proteolytic, acid, and thermal stability, restore the native helical structure of the peptide, possess superior pharmacokinetic properties compared to the corresponding unmodified peptides, and are highly effective in binding to ?-catenin in vitro, in cellulo, and in vivo, disrupting the BCL9/?-catenin interaction, and thereby interfering with deregulated Wnt/?-catenin signaling for therapeutic benefit in a variety of human diseases including human cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel lantibiotics, lantibiotic pharmaceutical compositions, isolated and recombinant lantibiotic-producing bacteria, bacterial pharmaceutical compositions, methods of producing novel lantibiotics from lantibiotic-producing bacteria, and methods of using such lantibiotics, lantibiotic pharmaceutical compositions, and bacterial pharmaceutical compositions to treat gram-positive bacteria infections, including vancomycin resistant enterococci infections, in patients, and to treat food and other objects to avoid gram-positive bacteria contamination.

Abstract: In certain aspects, disclosed herein are novel compositions and methods related to either the enhancement or inhibition of erythropoiesis that are useful, for example, in the treatment of anemia or erythrocytosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides for engineered molecular opsonins that may be used to bind biological pathogens or identify subclasses or specific pathogen species for use in devices and systems for treatment and diagnosis of patients with infectious diseases, blood-borne infections or sepsis. An aspect of the invention provides for mannose-binding lectin (MBL), which is an abundant natural serum protein that is part of the innate immune system. The ability of this protein lectin to bind to surface molecules on virtually all classes of biopathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans) make engineered forms of MBL extremely useful in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases and sepsis.

Abstract: A process is described for purifying insulin and insulin analogs that comprises high-pressure liquid chromatography with an acidic cation exchange medium performed in the presence of a water miscible organic modifier and at an elevated temperature followed by reverse phase chromatography performed in the presence of a water miscible organic modifier and at an elevated temperature.

Abstract: Formulations having a protein component, in which the protein contains one or more digestion-aiding proteins, and/or one or more immunoprotective proteins.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating bone diseases comprising a fusion peptide in which a bone tissue-selective peptide bound to parathyroid hormone (PTH) or a fragment thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and biomaterial for preventing or treating bone diseases comprising a fusion peptide in which a bone tissue-selective peptide represented by an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 3 bound to parathyroid hormone (PTH) or a fragment thereof represented by an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 4 or 5. The fusion peptide can improve effects of PTH by selectively binding to bone tissue and can reduce administration frequency by increasing the half-life. The fusion peptide can be used as a subcutaneous or intravenous injection-type pharmaceutical composition for treating osteoporosis and fracture, and can be used in combination with a medical device for tissue recovery to increase formation of bone tissue.
