  • Publication number: 20210121549
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions relating to methods of inhibiting neutrophils, e.g., inhibiting NET release or NETosis, by means of a DEspR inhibitor, e.g., an anti-DEspR antibody reagent. In some embodiments, the methods can relate to the treatment of a disease, e.g., cancer or a disease wherein neutrophils; NETs; or NETosing or NETting neutrophils contribute to pathogenesis, chronicity, or worsening of disease. In some embodiments, the DEspR inhibitor can be a bi-specific reagent or an antibody-drug conjugate.

  • Publication number: 20200236992
    Abstract: A glass bottle water pipe including a glass bottle having an opening at a top side of the bottle and a lower side of the bottle. Each of the openings has a threaded structure about the outside thereof. A lid placed on the top side of the bottle screwed onto the threads. A bottom portion that contains a filter is screwed onto the bottom portion. The filter is removably attached to the bottom portion. An aperture is located in the side of the bottle at a level close to that of the filter. A smoke stem is placed through the aperture into the filter. A carb hole is an aperture in the side of the bottle at a level close to that of the filter, located to the left of the smoke stem and bowl. In this way the glass bottle water pipe can be used in many different ways to smoke.
