  • PULVERIZING METHOD, METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYMER BLOCK, AND PULVERIZATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240017267
    Abstract: A pulverizing method comprising: pulverizing a polymer porous body; and removing electricity from the polymer porous body during the pulverization. A method for producing a polymer block, comprising: pulverizing a polymer porous body; and removing electricity from the polymer porous body during the pulverization. A pulverization device comprising: a pulverizing portion which pulverizes a polymer porous body; and an irradiating portion which irradiates at least a part of the pulverizing portion with a radiation, wherein electricity is removed from the polymer porous body during the pulverization in the pulverizing portion by the radiation radiated from the irradiating portion.

  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING CANCER WITH ECM-AFFINITY PEPTIDES LINKED TO IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC ANTIBODIES
    Publication number: 20230377764
    Abstract: The methods and compositions described herein address the need in the art by providing compositions and methods for a therapy with an antibody that is specifically targeted to and/or retained intra- or peri-tumorally, limiting systemic exposure and reducing side-effects. Accordingly, aspects of the disclosure relate to a composition comprising an immunotherapeutic antibody operatively linked to an extracellular matrix (ECM)-affinity peptide. An ECM-affinity peptide is one that has affinity for an extracellular matrix protein.
