  • Publication number: 20240182584
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include bispecific molecules. The bispecific molecules comprise a cell-targeting moiety and a glycan-binding moiety. According to some embodiments, the cell-targeting moiety is a cancer cell-targeting moiety or an immune cell-targeting moiety. In certain embodiments, the glycan-binding moiety comprises the sialoglycan-binding domain of a lectin, non-limiting examples of which are sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs). The bispecific molecules may take a variety of forms including heterodimeric molecules, fusion proteins, conjugates, and the like. Compositions, kits and methods of using the bifunctional molecules, e.g., for therapeutic purposes, are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100019547
    Abstract: This invention is a car seat, which can be easily converted into a stroller by extending a stroller handle and tilting the car seat backwards until a pair of wheels contacts the ground. A pair of wheels is placed on the back surface of the car seat to convert the car seat into a stroller, if and when necessary. and a separate handle will be used to enable the user to tilt the car seat so that the device can be rolled.
