Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind and inhibit TREM-1 signaling, wherein the antibodies do not bind to one or more Fc?Rs and do not induce the myeloid cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. Also provided are uses of such antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of identifying subjects suitable for an anti-TREM-1 antibody (i.e., antagonistic anti-TREM-1 antibody) treatment comprising measuring an expression level of a TREM-1 associated gene. Also disclosed herein are methods of determining efficacy of an anti-TREM-1 antibody comprising measuring an expression level of a TREM-1 associated gene. Methods of identifying non-responder to a standard of care treatment and methods of treating a disease or disorder (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease) with an anti-TREM-1 antibody are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for synthesising metal oxide particles comprises preparing a pre-sol solution, and hydrolysing and condensing the pre-sol solution under supercritical fluid conditions to form macroscopic mesoporous particles having ordered pore structures. The pre-sol solution may contain a mixture of surfactants such as CTAB and P123. The supercritical fluid may be scCO2. The mesoporous particles may be spheres with a mesopore diameter in the range of 2 to 15 nm and macroscopic diameters of from 1 to 5 microns. The particles are useful in chromatography and other applications.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing linked account types to be associated with each plan participant. The plan participants create and select rules that govern distributions from the linked account types. Thus, funds may be drawn from a plurality of accounts to pay for a single point-of-service transaction. Subsequent point-of-service transactions may be paid by drawing on a plurality of accounts in different ratios as governed by the selected rules.
