Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for classifying a patient at risk for heart failure, wherein the method comprises the steps of (i) measuring the concentration of IGFBP2 in a sample obtained from the patient and (ii) comparing the concentration of IGFBP2 measured in step (i) to a control value derived from the concentration of IGFBP2 in samples from patients who are at particular stages of heart failure and/or to a control value derived from the concentration of IGFBP2 in blood samples from healthy patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for predicting acute severe colitis treatment response. Currently, there is no biomarker of drug response. The present invention provides the first prediction tool for responses to first- and second-line treatments in acute severe ulcerative colitis. Putative mRNA targets of dysregulated microRNAs were identified from patient biopsies. One classifier of fifteen colonic microRNAs plus five biological values at admission were identified with a prediction accuracy of 96.6% for discriminating responders from non-responders to steroids. Using a similar method, 6 and 4 mucosal microRNA-based algorithms were identified to classify responders from non-responders to infliximab and cyclosporine.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the field of gene therapy, i.e. gene delivery into target cells, tissue, organ and organism, and more particularly to gene delivery via viral vectors. The inventors showed that it is possible by chemical coupling to modulate the coupling of a ligand in the surface of the capsid of AAV, for example AAV2 and AAV3b. In particular, the present invention relates to a recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV) vector particle having at least one primary amino group contained in the capsid proteins, chemically coupled with at least one ligand L, wherein coupling of said ligand L is implemented through a bond comprising a —CSNH— bond and an optionally substituted aromatic moiety. Particularly, the inventors tested the chemical coupling of mannose ligand on AAV2 for subretinally injection to rats.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of kidney cancer. The inventors showed that while Elabela (ELA) is mostly expressed in kidney, its expression is reduced in human kidney cancer. In a xenograft animal model (sub-cutaneous, or sub-capsular injection) Ela inhibits tumor progression. In particular, there is disclosed a method of treating kidney cancer in a subject in need thereof including administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an ELA polypeptide including an amino acid sequence having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO: 1 (QRPVNLTMRRKLRKHNCLQRRCMPLHSRVPFP) wherein the arginine residue (R) at position 9, 10, 20 or 21 is optionally mutated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bacteriophage strain capable of producing a lytic infection in the Escherichia coli ST131-025b:H4 clone. The burden of ST131-025b:H4 Escherichia coli clonal complex in human community and hospital-acquired infections is increasing worldwide, going along with a worrying and growing resistance to betalactams and fluoroquinolones. Bacteriophage LM33_P1 infects exclusively (100% specificity) 025b E. coli strains with 70% coverage on the two major antibiotic resistant pandemic clonal complexes ST131-025b:H4 and ST69-025b. The inventors evaluated the in vivo activity of bacteriophage LM33_P1 using three different extraintestinal virulence murine models and showed that it infects bacteria in several organs.
