Provided is a double-stranded nucleic acid complex consisting of a first nucleic acid strand and a second nucleic acid strand that are annealed to each other; wherein the first nucleic acid strand hybridizes with part of a target transcription product and has an antisense effect on the target transcription product; and wherein the second nucleic acid strand includes a base sequence complementary to the first nucleic acid strand and is conjugated to a phosphatidylethanolamine or an analog thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides, inter alia, methods of reducing gastrointestinal immune related adverse events, such as colitis and diarrhea, in subjects undergoing an immune treatment, such as an immune oncology treatment, such as anti-CTLA4 antibody and anti-PD-1 antibody combination treatment for melanoma. In certain aspects, the methods encompass administering a therapeutically effective amount of a polypeptide that inhibits MAdCAM-integrin binding, such as an anti-?4?7 integrin antibody, such vedolizumab or a related antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I bearing a sulfoxoniumylide moiety as warhead, or salts thereof. Such compounds can be used as activity-based probes for cysteine proteases such as cathepsin X, in methods of detecting cysteine protease activity and in related diagnostic or therapeutic methods.

Abstract: Methods for quantitation of fC1-INH from dried blood spot are provided herein. Such methods may comprise spotting and drying a blood sample on a support member, extracting protein from the dried blood sample and measuring the level of fC1-INH in the extracted proteins.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a heterocyclic compound having an AMPA receptor potentiator effect, which is expected to be useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of depression, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the like. The present invention relates to a compound represented by the formula (I): wherein each symbol is as described in the specification, or a salt thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides isolated, engineered, non-naturally occurring CB1 binding proteins, including anti-CB1 antibodies or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The CB1 binding proteins find utility in the treatment and diagnosis of CB1 mediated conditions, diseases and disorders.

Abstract: Systems and methods providing a clotting factor VIII dosing regimen are disclosed. The systems and methods include determining an estimated pharmacokinetic profile of a patient using a Bayesian model of pharmacokinetic profiles of sampled patients. The systems and methods can determine a first dosing regimen for a first dosing interval including (i) a first dosage and (ii) a first therapeutic plasma protein level in the patient varying over time based at least upon the estimated pharmacokinetic profile. The systems and methods can determine a second dosing regimen for a second dosing interval including (i) a second dosage and (ii) a second therapeutic plasma protein level in the patient varying over time. The estimated pharmacokinetic profile can be adjusted based on previous patient treatments. Further, a user can select which days a dosage is to be applied such that the protein level does not fall below a target trough.
