Abstract: This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize) the apelin receptor (also referred to herein as the APJ receptor; gene symbol APLNR). This disclosure also features compositions containing the same as well as other methods of using and making the same. The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which a decrease in APJ receptor activity (e.g., repressed or impaired APJ receptor signaling; e.g., repressed or impaired apelin-APJ receptor signaling) or downregulation of endogenous apelin contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions for using microbial agents (probiotics) and agents that promote growth of certain microbes (prebiotics) for management (including prevention and treatment) of musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoporosis, osteopenia, Paget's disease, stunting, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, and delayed or non-union fractures. Also described herein are methods and compositions for using probiotics and prebiotics for management of inflammation, and symptoms of menopause.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a benzoselenophene-based compound, a method of preparing the benzoselenophene-based compound, and a pharmaceutical composition and antibody-drug conjugate including the benzoselenophene-based compound.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for localizing magnets are useful for biological tissue analysis and other applications. Tissue analysis systems for use with a tissue analysis device may include a storage medium storing computer readable instructions that cause the execution of magnet localization methods. The system may include the tissue analysis device, which includes a magnet and a magnetometer array disposed adjacent to the magnet. When executed by a processor, the instructions cause operations, including recording a magnetic field of the magnet with the magnetometer array, simulating a simulated magnetic field at each magnetometer of the magnetometer array, and estimating positional information of the magnet based upon iterating simulated positional information of the simulated magnet.

Abstract: The present invention enables simultaneous and stable expression of a plurality of foreign genes by using a stealthy RNA gene expression system that is a complex that does not activate the innate immune mechanism and is formed from an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a single-strand RNA binding protein, and negative-sense single-strand RNAs including the following (1) to (8): (1) a target RNA sequence that codes for any protein or functional RNA; (2) an RNA sequence forming a noncoding region and derived from mRNA expressed in animal cells; (3) a transcription initiation signal sequence recognized by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase; (4) a transcription termination signal sequence recognized by the polymerase; (5) an RNA sequence containing a replication origin recognized by the polymerase; (6) an RNA sequence that codes for the polymerase and of which codons are optimized for the species from which an introduction target cell is derived; (7) an RNA sequence that codes for a protein for regulating the activity o
