Abstract: The instant invention provides for novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, containing cationic lipids, for use as vaccine adjuvants and/or as antigen delivery systems. It is an object of the instant invention to provide LNP formulations that demonstrate enhancements in humoral and cellular immunogenicity of vaccine antigens, particularly subunit vaccine antigens, when utilized alone or in combination with immunostimulatory agents (e.g. small molecule or oligonucleotide TLR agonists). The instant invention further identifies physical and chemical properties of the LNP formulations that can be manipulated to enhance antigen efficiency and adjuvant tolerability in vivo.

Abstract: The present invention provides certain substituted chromane, isochromane, and dihydroisobenzofuran compounds of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein ring A is a moiety selected from: and ring B, n, R1, R2, R2A, R3, and R3A are as defined herein. The compounds of the invention are useful as mGluR2 inhibitors, or mGluR2 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs), and may be useful in methods of treating a patient for diseases or disorders in which the mGluR2-NAM receptor is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, schizophrenia and other mood disorders, pain disorders and sleep disorders, by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: An indexing system uses a cascade of hash structures to process data entries upon ingest for indexing. The indexing system may be used for enhancing database privacy, anonymization, or data compression. A hash structure, for example, a bloom filter or hash table, passes a representation of the data entries to a subsequent hash structure in the cascade responsive to determining that the hash structure previously filtered an instance of the same representation. The indexing system can generate the representations of the data entries using one or more hash functions. A terminal hash structure of the cascade may index the data entries responsive to determining that the data entries satisfy a criteria for anonymization. For instance, the indexing system determines that there exists a threshold number of data entries describing a population of subjects having the same combination of data elements.

Abstract: Vaccine formulations are described comprising physically separated, lyophilized antigens and adjuvant components, which may be in lyoparticle form, as well as methods of using and making such formulations. Reconstituted formulations are also described.
