Abstract: Disclosed herein are high-density lipoprotein-like nanoparticles (HDL-NP) having a soft material core (e.g., a lipid-conjugated inorganic core) associated with hydrophobic therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, the HDL-NPs are targeted to scavenger receptor type B1 (SR-B1). In some embodiments, the hydrophobic therapeutic agents are chemotherapeutic agents. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating disorders such as cancer with the HDL-NPs.

Abstract: Disclosed are substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating, diagnosing, and prognosing GLUT-dependent cancers and OXPHOS-dependent cancers. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering to a patient in need thereof a GLUT inhibitor and/or an OXPHOS inhibitor. The inhibitors may be administered before, concurrently, or after one another. Suitable GLUT-dependent cancers may include a GLUT4-dependent cancer, a GLUT8-dependent cancer, and a GLUT11-dependent cancer. Suitable GLUT inhibitors may include a GLUT4 inhibitor, a GLUT8 inhibitor, and a GLUT11 inhibitor. Suitable OXPHOS-dependent cancers may include mitochondrial OXPHOS-dependent cancers, including cancers that have developed resistance to treatment with a GLUT-inhibitor.

Abstract: Disclosed are substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds. The disclosed compounds are shown to be useful in inhibiting the growth of cancer cell lines and treating cancer and cell proliferative disorders.

Abstract: Methods of treating cancer comprising administering inhibitors of glucose transporters (GLUTs) are provided. Methods of predicting whether a cancer will respond to treatment with a GLUT inhibitor also are provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating hematological malignancies, including multi-drug resistant malignancies, with 8-amino-adenosine and variants thereof. Also encompassed by the present invention is a method of predicting the response of a patient diagnosed with a hematological malignancy to treatment with a nucleoside analog and a method of screening candidate drugs for efficacy in treating hematological malignancies.

Abstract: Hybridoma HB 8986 produces a murine monoclonal antibody which recognizes a new determinant expressed in bronchopulmonary carcinomas and A549 cell line derived tumors. Immunoperoxidase staining with the hybridoma on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues shows that it specifically stains both the cytoplasmic and cell surface. The monoclonal antibody has the ability to distinguish preferably bronchopulmonary carcinomas with glandular differentiation from other bronchopulmonary carcinomas. Additionally, the monoclonal antibody may identify adenocarcinomas through the body.
