  • Patent number: 9610248
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods useful for treating influenza. As described herein, provided compositions and methods are based on the development of certain compositions that include an influenza virus hemagglutinin antigen in combination with lipid vesicles that include a non-ionic surfactant (NISVs) and optionally an adjuvant. In certain embodiments, provided compositions remain potent even when they are not stored in a standard cold-chain system (i.e., they are thermostable).

  • Patent number: 7264629
    Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to stimulate and/or restore hair growth in areas of hair loss. Methods and compositions relating to PDT treatment for alopecia are disclosed. In light of PDT use to remove unwanted hair by inactivating or destroying hair follicles or destroying the tissue feeding the hair follicles, such methods and compositions relate to a surprising and unexpected discovery. PDT permits a means to treat conditions relating to hair loss such as androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata and drug-induced alopecia.
