Abstract: Compositions disclosed herein, and methods of use thereof included those for treating or preventing sepsis in a subject in need, including methods of extending of the survival of a subject suffering from sepsis, and reduction of organ dysfunction or failure due to sepsis. Methods of treating or preventing sepsis in a subject in need includes administering compositions comprising early apoptotic cells or early apoptotic cell supernatants. Compositions and methods of use thereof may reduce the negative proinflammatory effect accompanying sepsis. Further, anti-inflammatory cytokine release may be reduced. In certain instances, compositions may include additional agents.

Abstract: Compositions disclosed herein, and methods of use thereof included those for inhibiting or reducing the incidence of cytokine release syndrome or cytokine storm in a subject undergoing CAR T-cell therapy, methods of treating a cancer or tumor, methods of reducing tumor load, methods of reducing the size or growth rate of a cancer or a tumor, and methods of extending of the survival of a subject suffering from a cancer or tumor, wherein the subjects are administered compositions comprising apoptotic cells or apoptotic cell supernatants. Compositions and methods of use thereof may increase the efficacy of a CAR T-cell cancer therapy. Disclosed herein are also compositions and methods of use thereof for decreasing or inhibiting cytokine production in a subject experiencing cytokine release syndrome or cytokine storm. In certain instances compositions may include additional chemotherapeutic or immunomodulatory agents.

Abstract: Methods of use of early apoptotic cell populations and compositions thereof disclosed herein, including methods of treating a cancer or a tumor, extending survival times of a subject suffering from a cancer or a tumor, and reducing the size or reducing the growth rate of a cancer or a tumor, wherein subjects are administered apoptotic cells or compositions thereof. Cancers may include solid tumors or diffuse cancers, for example leukemia. In certain instances compositions may include additional chemotherapeutic agent. Further, inactivated early apoptotic cell populations are disclosed and methods of making the same.

Abstract: Methods for presenting dynamic images to a user, configured to evaluate and/or improve the user's foveal and/or peripheral visual acuity. Dynamic computer games are popular, but the moving images of prior art dynamic computer games are not suitable for improving visual acuity. To overcome this restriction, embodiments of the present invention analyze user's responses to the moving images to determine a change in the user's visual acuity, and responsively adjust parameters of the moving images, such as speed, direction of motion, orientation, crowding, contrast, and spatial frequency, in order to improve the user's visual acuity.

Abstract: Compositions disclosed herein, and methods of use thereof included those for inhibiting or reducing the incidence of cytokine release syndrome or cytokine storm in a subject undergoing CAR T-cell therapy, wherein the subjects are administered compositions comprising apoptotic cells or apoptotic cell supernatants. In certain instances compositions and methods of use thereof disclosed herein do not reduce the efficacy of the CAR T-cell cancer therapy. Disclosed herein are also compositions and methods of use thereof for decreasing or inhibiting cytokine production in a subject experiencing cytokine release syndrome or cytokine storm comprising administration of a composition comprising apoptotic cells or an apoptotic cell supernatant.

Abstract: Cell preparations comprising a pooled and enriched, mononuclear apoptotic cell population, and a method of preparing this cell preparation are described. The pooled mononuclear apoptotic cell preparation may be obtained from pooled, allogeneic white blood cell fractions that are pooled prior to or following induction of apoptosis. Further, described herein are methods of use of these pooled apoptotic cell preparations for treating an immune disease, an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease, or infertility in a subject. For example, a pooled apoptotic cell preparation may be used to treat graft versus host disease (GVHD) in an allogeneic subject.

Abstract: A method and system for determining visual related physical conditions of a user of a display device, determined from the user's responses to a selection of visual-tasks. A dataset is provided for correlating the user's responses with the corresponding scores, so that by measuring the degree of correlation between the user's scores and a predetermined combination of the corresponding scores, the user's visual physical condition can be determined. A system is also provided, including a user device as well as a remote server for providing visual acuity and related testing to detect certain vision deficiencies and visual related physical conditions. In addition, a user device application is provided.
