Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins and one or more tumor specific antigens. Also disclosed are fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins and one or more viral specific antigens. Also disclosed are fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins. It also relates to methods to activate the immune system in cancer patients to infiltrate and kill tumor cells or cells infected with a latent virus. The present disclosure provides a platform technology that elicits a faster, broader and stronger immune response using the fusion proteins.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of culturing cells, particularly maintaining the differentiation potential of a population of cells with differentiation potential. The methods involve contacting cells with an inhibitor of miRNA-181a* and/or incubation in a serum-free medium. A serum-free medium is also provided. Also provided are progeny stem cells, methods of obtaining them, and uses thereof.
Abstract: The invention provides an apoptosis-modulating cell-free composition comprising conditioned extracellular medium of a stem cell and uses thereof, particularly therapeutic uses. Also provided is a method of obtaining such a composition and an in vitro method of modulating apoptosis.
