Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for treating cancers and myeloproliferative disorders using sphingosine kinase-1 inhibitors, such as SK1-I, and selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists, such as ozanimod.

Abstract: The invention provides immunomodulatory pharmaceutical compositions that include a synthetic peptide and one or more immune tolerance enhancers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic methods, compositions and uses thereof, that affect, directly or indirectly, the behavior of LRP receptors. These compositions and methods result in the treatment of inflammatory, immunological and metabolic conditions. More particularly, the methods and compositions of the invention are directed to the identification of small molecules, drugs and/or pharmacological agents that affect the Wnt pathway by affecting normal complex formation among various signaling receptors, the LRP5 and LRP6 receptor, and related ligands.

Abstract: a The invention provides nucleic acid hybridization probes having improved detectability that include a plurality of first segments consecutively complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence and, between neighboring first segments, a nucleic acid spacer segment which is not complementary to the target nucleic acid sequence and which may include labeled nucleic acid residues. Also provided by the invention are methods for making the probes, methods for using the probes, and compositions of matter that include the probes hybridized to target nucleic acid molecules.
