  • Polypeptides, related nucleic acids, and their uses for cell modulation and treatments
    Patent number: 10696728
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are inventive polypeptides (e.g., comprising a thermal sensitive ion channel or variant thereof and a domain 5 of kininogen 1 or variant or fragment thereof) and nucleic acid molecules encoding inventive polypeptides. Also disclosed are methods for modulating a cell comprising administering certain compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions of the nucleic acid molecule) and applying a static magnetic field or an electromagnetic field. Methods for treating diseases or disorders in an animal (e.g., a human) comprising administering certain compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions of the nucleic acid molecule) and applying a static magnetic field or an electromagnetic field, are further disclosed.
