Abstract: The present invention relates to improved delivery of therapeutic biologics with the molecular weight in the range from 10 kDa to 70 kDa or therapeutic nuclear acids with the molecular weight in the range from 6 kDa to 10 kDa by the concurrent deployment of an insulin-glucose clamp.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of respiratory viral infections, including those caused by coronaviruses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved preparation and delivery of asparaginase for use in medicine, e.g. in human and veterinary medicine.

Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on our discovery of compositions and methods that can be used to systemically deplete arginine and thereby treat arginine-dependent cancers. Our studies indicate that administering a composition that depletes arginine directly to the patient's small intestine will provide effective treatment for arginine-dependent cancers. Moreover, the methods can be carried out in such a way that various sources of arginine are restricted and side effects are minimized. For example, to deplete arginine, one can not only administer an arginine-depleting enzyme directly to the intestinal lumen but can also inhibit endogenous production of arginine, reduce arginine production by intestinal bacteria and limit arginine intake. To minimize side effects, one can inhibit protein breakdown, which may occur as a compensatory mechanism, provide systemic NO from a nitric oxide donor, provide a pressor peptide, and/or provide prostacycline or an analog thereof.
