  • Patent number: 11571455
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating inflammation including its end-stage sepsis and conditions mediated by inflammation such as liver apoptosis and cirrhosis, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycogenemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. In one aspect, the compositions and methods disclosed herein can also be used to enhance clearance of microbes from infected tissues, organs, or systems in a subject. Also disclosed herein are compositions and methods for reducing levels of stress responsible transcription factors and metabolic transcription factors in a cell in a subject with microbial, allergic, autoimmune, metabolic, and posttraumatic inflammation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 7, 2023
    Assignee: VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Jack Jacek Hawiger, Jozef Zienkiewicz, Danya Liu

  • Patent number: 8324148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the delivery of biologically active molecules, such as peptides, nucleic acids and therapeutic agents, into the interior of cells by administering to the cells a complex comprising the molecule linked to an importation competent signal peptide. Such delivery can be utilized for purposes such as peptide therapy, gene transfer, and antisense therapy to regulate and/or eradicate systemic inflammatory response syndromes such as endotoxic shock.

  • Patent number: 7553929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the delivery of biologically active molecules, such as peptides, into the interior of cells by administering to the cells a complex comprising the molecule linked to an importation competent signal peptide. Such delivery can be utilized, for example, to treat and/or prevent inflammatory conditions, e.g., but not limited to, systemic inflammatory reactions such as endotoxic shock, localized inflammatory reactions such as inflammatory skin diseases and conditions, and inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune diseases.
