  • Publication number: 20230190938
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a cargo delivery system comprising an autophagy targeting ligand and a target-binding ligand. In one aspect of the disclosure, by comprising an autophagy targeting ligand, cargo, which is a target-binding ligand that specifically binds to a target, is delivered to the p62 protein and autophagy is activated, so that depending on the type of target-binding ligand used, a target to be degraded can be selectively and directly removed. Accordingly, the cargo delivery system according to an aspect of the disclosure may be used in pharmaceutical compositions or food compositions for preventing, alimerating, and treating various diseases.

  • Publication number: 20220402873
    Abstract: Novel p62 ligand compounds, or a stereoisomer, a solvate, a hydrate, or a prodrug thereof are disclosed. The novel compounds, stereoisomer, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug activates selective autophagy in cells to selectively remove proteins, organelles, and coagulations in the body, and thus can be advantageously used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, ameliorating, or treating various proteinopathies. Compositions such as pharmaceutical composition or food compositions containing the novel p62 ligand compounds, stereoisomer, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof as well as uses thereof are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5524329
    Abstract: A tack-off system for cleaning vehicular bodies eliminates the presence of exposed, flexible conduit at locations above the path of travel of the vehicle therethrough. Additionally, the apparatus includes a positioning system which allows the tack-off brushes to be moved in relation to the vehicular bodies, without changing the positional orientation of the brush assembly with regard thereto. Also, the system includes a vortex enhanced plenum utilized to evacuate ambient air and contaminant particles.
