Abstract: As described herein, anti-fibrin antibodies can reduce and treat the symptoms of Coronavirus infection, including CoV-ID-19 infection. Compositions and methods are described herein that include active agents such as anti-fibrin antibodies that can inhibit inflammation in the lung and other tissues. These methods and compositions can inhibit the binding of SARS-COV-2 or SARS-COV-1 spike protein to fibrin.

Abstract: Provided herein is a novel approach to treating CNS tumors. Specifically, the data shows that fibrin therapies targeting fibrin, for example the ?377-395 fibrin epitope, are novel CNS tumor therapeutics e.g.

Abstract: Compositions and methods to treat or prevent neurodegeneration in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal in need thereof an effective amount of an inhibitor of ACVR1 (Alk2).

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions exhibiting in vivo activity of fibrin in an in vitro setting, in vitro assays comprising such compositions, methods of producing such compositions, and methods of using such compositions and assays. The compositions of the invention include molecules with the biochemical properties of 1) high affinity binding to fibrin receptors and 2) activation of cell-signaling systems comparable to that observed in vivo by fibrin. The fibrin compositions of the invention are compatible both in biochemical assays and cell-based assays, and thus useful for in vitro assays for screening of test agents that modulate cell activation and/or signaling pathways mediated by fibrin or associated with fibrin activity.

Abstract: Described herein is an animal model useful for identifying therapeutic agents that can inhibit the physiological effects or symptoms of COVID-19 infection, including the effects of the following on one or more organs of the animal: inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrin deposition, blood brain barrier breakdown, clotting, and vascular problems,

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods to treat or prevent neurodegeneration in a mammal, inhibit microglial activation in the CNS of a mammal, promote survival of CNS neurons in a mammal, prevent or reduce the rate of demyelination and/or neuronal injury in a mammal, promote remyelination in a mammal and/or treat or prevent or decrease oxidative stress in a mammal.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for promoting and/or restoring neurite outgrowth and neuronal regeneration by contacting an injured neuron with an inhibitor of low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1).

Abstract: The present invention provides cell-based assays, including high throughput cell-based assays, for identification of candidate therapeutic agents with the ability to inhibit microglial activation in vivo in response to different ligands.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating a CNS disease, disorder or injury, (e.g., a CNS demyelinating disease). The present invention provides methods and compositions for preserving or protecting neuroaxonal activity in a subject, preferably a mammalian subject (e.g., a human) by administering one or more compositions that inhibit the activity of ?-glutamyl transpeptidase in the human subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions for regulating glucose metabolism. The compositions provide for reduced levels of p75NTR and/or reduced binding of p75NTR to a GTPase such as Rab31 or Rab5. The compositions are useful in methods of regulating glucose metabolism, which methods are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides cell-based assays, including high throughput cell-based assays, for identification of candidate therapeutic agents with the ability to inhibit microglial activation in vivo in response to different ligands.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-human animal models of neuronal injury and/or cognitive dysfunction and methods of making and using such animal models. The animal models of the invention are particularly suited to assessing neurodegeneration in selected regions of interest in the CNS, and thus especially useful for testing the therapeutic efficacy of agents targeting neurodegeneration associated with aging, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmunity and trauma (e.g., ischemia).
