Abstract: The present invention relates to HMGB1 variants that maintain HMGB1 wild type chemoattractant function while displaying abolished cytokine and/or chemokine stimulating properties. Such molecules are useful in therapy.

Abstract: A method of preparing a therapeutic cell population for clinical use from a starting population of cells comprising haematopoietic stem cells, said method comprising separating a population of cells that substantially do not express CD38 but which express CD34 from the starting population of cells, and transducing the separated cell population with a vector to obtain the therapeutic cell population.

Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells, resulting in insulin deficiency. The usual cause of this beta cell loss is autoimmune destruction. The inventors provide the first evidence of a causal link between influenza virus infection and the development of type 1 diabetes and/or pancreatitis. This causal link between infection and type 1 diabetes and/or pancreatitis provides various therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic opportunities.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of a neurological disease or disorder of the central nervous system (e.g., a storage disorder, lysosomal storage disorder, neurodegenerative disease, etc.) by reconstitution of brain myeloid cell and microglia upon transplantation of hematopoietic cells enriched in microglia reconstitution potential. The invention also provides compositions and methods for ablating and reconstituting microglia.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of a lysosomal disease or disorder involving increasing the level, expression, or activity of a metallothionein polypeptide or polynucleotide in the subject.

Abstract: The invention is based upon the discovery that T regulatory type 1 (Tr1) cells express particular cell surface markers that allow for their selection, enrichment, isolation, purification and administration. The ability to use the particular markers described herein to select, enrich, isolate, purify and administer Tr1 cells allows for improved methods of Tr1 therapies for treating a wide variety of diseases and disorders.

Abstract: A gene vector for use in gene therapy comprising at least one miRNA sequence target operably linked to a nucleotide sequence having a corresponding miRNA in a hematopoietic progenitor cell (HSPC) or hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) which prevents or reduces expression of the nucleotide sequence in a HSPC or HSC but not in a differentiated cell.
