Abstract: The devices, assemblies, and methods described herein utilize photoacoustic principals to create a jet of fluid using a ultrasonic resonance member and a pulsed laser light beam. The ultrasonic resonance member is a treated substrate having an liquid interface surface in contact with a fluid. When a pulsed laser light beam is applied to the treated substrate, pressure is generated via induced ultrasonic waves to urge the fluid into a jet stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for injecting a drug and detecting tissue induced back pressure are disclosed. A drug delivery system may include a reservoir filled or fillable with a drug, an administration member connected or connectable in fluid communication with the reservoir, a drive assembly, and a pressure sensor. The administration member may be configured for insertion into and subsequently retraction from a patient. The drive assembly may be configured to urge the drug from the reservoir to deliver a dose of the drug to the patient via the administration member. The pressure sensor may be configured to detect tissue back pressure during use of the drug delivery system, including after dose completion and prior to retraction of the administration member. The drug delivery system may be controlled in a manner that accounts for the tissue back pressure measurement.

Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions are provided herein for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, in particular celiac disease, refractory celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a subject having a neoplastic disease, comprising administering to the subject a KIF18A inhibitor in an amount effective to treat the neoplastic disease a neoplastic disease in a subject. Also provided are methods of inducing or increasing tumor regression in a subject with a tumor and methods of reducing tumor or cancer growth in a subject. In exemplary aspects, the method comprises administering to the subject a KIF18A inhibitor. Methods of inducing or increasing death of tumor or cancer cells in a subject comprising administering to the subject a KIF18A inhibitor are also provided herein. Advantageously, the KIF18A inhibitors selectively treat the neoplastic disease, induce or increase tumor regression, and/or induce or increase death of tumor or cancer cells without overt toxicity to normal somatic cells.
Abstract: GDF15 molecules are provided herein. In some embodiments, the GDF15 molecule is a GDF15-Fc fusion, in which a GDF15 region is fused to an Fc region. In some embodiments, the GDF15 region is fused to the Fc region via a linker. Also, provided herein are methods for making and using GDF15 molecules.
