  • Publication number: 20210315820
    Abstract: Described herein are lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), comprising neutral or positively charged nucleic acid mimics (NPNAMs) and optionally nucleic acids, and compositions thereof. Also described are methods of preparing LNPs comprising NPNAMs, and methods of use for intracellular gene editing. In particular, the LNPs comprising NPNAMs and optionally nucleic acids may be used in methods for the correction and/or treatment of a genetic disorder, disease, or condition in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20190298857
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the field of biopolymer-loaded (where the biopolymer(s) are active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) (API(s)) polymer-based nanoparticles formulated, for example, for curative, therapeutic prophylactic and/or diagnostic applications. The polymer used to formulate the nanoparticles can be any biodegradable synthetic polymer or combination of polymers, including combinations of PLGA and PEG. Biopolymers used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) can include natural and unnatural nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA and LNA. Biopolymers used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can also include neutral and positively charged nucleic acid mimics (NPNAM) such as for example, peptide nucleic acids, morpholinos, pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics, morpholinoglycine oligonucleotides and methyl phosphonates and derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles are loaded with both nucleic acids and NPNAMs as the APIs.

  • Patent number: 9090697
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, in subjects in need thereof by administering an antibody that specifically binds CD73. The methods reduce production of adenosine, increase platelet activation and/or enhance the level of coagulation on the platelet surface to reduce and/or stop bleeding. In some embodiments, the methods can further include co-administering Factor VIII to treat the bleeding disorder.
