Abstract: Reg gene receptors are found throughout the body, including in the neurons of the brain and spinal cord, liver and heart. Reg proteins are expressed during fetal development for organogenesis and then only upregulated in times of organ injury, such as in the setting of stroke, myocardial infarction or spinal cord injury. Upregulation of Reg proteins following organ injury is a protective mechanism against organ failure and has been shown to result in the formation of new neurons, cardiac myocytes, hepatocytes and in other organs expressing the Reg receptor. Described are the compositions of bioactive Reg peptides, as well as optimization of these peptides (to increase plasma half-life), peptidomimetics, stimulatory antibodies and small molecules that interact with the Reg receptor that are capable of initiating formation of new cells after organ injury.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for usages, dosing and delivery of interferon beta-1a for use in children, adults and other mammals for the prevention and treatment of coronaviruses including COVID-19 with the direct delivery of interferon beta-1a to the Th17 receptors in the mucosal surfaces of the intestinal and pulmonary tract for the prevention of Th17 downstream cytokines. This inventor uses interferon beta-1a as a Th17-inhibitor to the mucosal surfaces of the lung and intestine in low dosages of 10,000 IU and below. The invention also provides for interferon beta-la used in combination with antiviral pharmaceuticals to also benefit the prevention and treatment of coronaviruses including COVID-19.

Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions of a unique Biologic Response Modifier (BRM) that does not suppress the immune system, yet provides protection of beta cells in those with type 1 diabetes and those at risk for type 1 diabetes are described. The methods include utilization of BRMs in combination with islet neogenesis therapies, beta regeneration therapies, islet, beta cell or stem cell transplants, or devices housing islets, beta cells or stem cells for treatment and prevention of type 1 patients and related conditions. The compositions and methods provide for beta cell protection from autoimmune attack for prevention or delay in the onset of type 1 diabetes. The BRM may be used in conjunction with immunosuppressive agents. The BRM may also be used in other conditions found among patients with type 1 diabetes and their relatives for whom there is no treatment or current therapy is unsuccessful.

Abstract: Peptides that are bioactive regions and optimized bioactive regions of the human and mammalian Reg gene proteins and that are capable of generation of tissues such as brain, spinal cord, heart, liver, and kidney are described. In particular, 7-15-amino acid Reg peptides and optimized Reg peptides are disclosed which are capable of in vivo and ex vivo transformation of progenitor cells, progenitor tissue and stem cells into specialized cells and tissues, including functioning brain and spinal cord neurons, cardiac myocytes, liver hepatocytes and renal nephrons. Methods of in vivo and ex vivo transformation of progenitor cells into differentiated cells and tissues are also described.

Abstract: The disclosure provides new methods for treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases including diseases of impaired glucose homeostasis and includes the usage oral usage immunotherapies that are T lymphocyte helper cell 17 (Th17)-inhibitors and usage is based on the patient's gut microbiome to determine if they are at risk for targeted organ(s) attack by Th17. The delivery of Th17-inhibitors is delivered preferably orally because Th17 lines the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. With the treatment of Type 1 diabetes, both a Th17-inhibitor is used with existing or new islet neogenesis agents presented within.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for novel therapies, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for insulin independence utilizing a new optimized hamster Reg3 gamma peptide, which is new to the art and has not previously been considered for development in the 30 year history since its discovery. Methods, pharmaceutical compositions and therapies novel to the prior art are utilized in this invention to render patients with recent onset and existing type 1 diabetes insulin independent by an optimized hamster Reg3 gamma peptide and an immune tolerance agent for type 1 patients to become insulin independent and used alone without an immune tolerance agent for type 2 diabetes. While not wishing to be bound by theory, optimized Reg3 gamma peptides increases beta cell generation by its demonstrated properties shown within of transforming ductal pancreatic cells into new islets.
