Abstract: Provided are monospecific and bispecific proteins that bind specifically to OX40 and/or PD-L1. Exemplary proteins release the inhibition through PD-L1 and stimulate T cell through OX40. Exemplary polyvalent proteins comprise at least one OX40 binding site and at least one PD-L1 binding site. In certain embodiments, the binding sites may be linked through an immunoglobulin constant region. Anti-OX40 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies are also provided.
Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for using the treatment tip apparatuses and high-voltage connectors with robotic surgical systems. For example, retractable treatment tip apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) including one, or more preferably a plurality, of electrodes that are protected by a housing (which may be retractable) until pressed against the tissue for deployment of the electrodes and delivery of a therapeutic treatment, are disclosed. In particular, these apparatuses may include a plurality of treatment needle electrodes and may be configured for the delivery of nanosecond pulsed electric fields. Also described herein are high-voltage connectors configured to provide high-voltage energy, such as nsPEF pulses, from a generator to the retractable treatment tip apparatuses.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to extracellular vesicles, e.g., exosomes, comprising an NLRP3 antagonist. In some aspects, the NLRP3 antagonist comprises an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). Also provided herein are methods for producing the exosomes and methods for using the exosomes to treat and/or prevent diseases or disorders.
Abstract: The present invention provides assays and assay systems for use in spatially encoded biological assays. The invention provides an assay system comprising an assay capable of high levels of multiplexing where reagents are provided to a biological sample in defined spatial patterns; instrumentation capable of controlled delivery of reagents according to the spatial patterns; and a decoding scheme providing a readout that is digital in nature.
Abstract: Provided are anti-CD47 antibodies or fragments thereof that can bind to the extra cellular domain of the CD47 protein. The antibodies or fragments thereof can effectively block the interaction between human CD47 and its ligand SIRP alpha and enhance the phagocytosis activity of macrophages to engulf cancer cells. Some of these antibodies or fragments do not induce in vitro hemagglutination and therefore can be suitably used as therapeutic agents with reduced off-target effects.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and related compositions for administering viral transfer vectors and antigen-presenting cell targeted immunosuppressants.
Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a networked cell culture incubator and to methods for operating such an incubator. In one aspect, the cell culture incubator includes a network interface for communicating with a source of parameter data utilized successfully by other incubators. The incubator receives appropriate parameter data and conducts the incubation process as prescribed by the parameter data so as to provide an improved environment for cell culture growth. The incubator may share its own parameter data with the data source for use by other incubators. The incubator and data source may share other forms of data as well.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions, such as kits, related to compositions comprising synthetic nanocarriers comprising an immunosuppressant and compositions comprising an uricase and a composition comprising an anti-inflammatory therapeutic. Also provided herein are methods and compositions for the treatment of subjects in need of administration or treatment with the uricase.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are capable of targeting a cell in the CNS of a subject. Also provided herein are methods for producing the EVs and methods for using the EVs to treat and/or prevent diseases or disorders of the CNS (e.g., neurological disorders).
