Abstract: Methods for differentiating pluripotent stem cells to neuroectoderm in dynamic suspension culture using small molecule or protein inhibitors of TGF?/Activin/Nodal signaling and BMP signaling are provided. Also provided are methods and protocols for differentiating pluripotent stem cells such as human embryonic stem cells first to neuroectoderm, then further to glial progenitor cells, and further to oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and compositions obtained thereby. The methods of the present disclosure reproducibly produce neuroectoderm progenitor cells by day 7 of the differentiation process, glial progenitor cells by day 21 of the differentiation process and OPCs by day 42 of the differentiation process.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the removal of serum gal-3 from circulation by plasmapheresis, comprising at least in part donor apheresis, using gal-3 binding agents in either a fixed bed, or in a form easily removed, such as by being complexed with magnetic particles. This method, on its own, brings a sharp reduction and relief from the inflammation and fibroses that can be induced by circulating gal-3. The process may be combined with the administration of gal-3 binding agents, such as modified citrus pectin, to further lower unbound gal-3 levels, to the point where gal-3 in the tissues may be addressed. This method may also be combined with removal of TNF receptors to provide an effective treatment for cancer.
Abstract: The present invention provides improved LAMP Constructs comprising specific fragments of the LAMP lumenal domain to deliver cancer antigens to immune cells for enhanced processing. These LAMP Constructs can be used for the treatment of disease and in particular hyperproliferative disorders and/or cancer. The improved LAMP Constructs allow for presentation of properly configured three dimensional epitopes for production of an immune response when administered to a subject. The improved LAMP Constructs can be multivalent molecules, and/or can be provided as part of a multivalent vaccine containing two or more LAMP Constructs. The improved LAMP Constructs as described herein can also be used to generate antibodies when administered to a non-human vertebrate.

Abstract: An improved aerosol dispensing apparatus includes an aerosol container, a discharge piece movably mounted to the aerosol container, a metering valve mounted within the discharge piece, a battery, and an electronically controlled flow control valve. The flow control valve is electronically connected to the battery and is in fluid communication with the metering valve. The metering valve is movable between an open position wherein a volume of an aerosol formulation is directed from the aerosol container through the metering valve to the electronically controlled flow control valve, and a closed position wherein the aerosol formulation is not permitted to flow through the metering valve. The electronically controlled flow control valve is configured to precisely control a flow of the aerosol formulation outward of the discharge piece.
