Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of using gene therapy to decrease cell migration and metastasis and reduce tumor mass or burden. The methods disclosed herein employ plasmids, vectors, and non-viral vectors that contain PCBP1 and/or PCBP1 mutants which inhibit the expression of cancer biomarkers and decrease cell migration or tumor size.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to inhibitory oligonucleotides, inhibitory peptides, compositions and methods for preventing or treating Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In one aspect, the disclosure is directed to compositions that comprise inhibitory oligonucleotides against one or more SARS-CoV-2 virus genes. In another aspect, the disclosure is directed to compositions that comprise inhibitory peptides that inhibit SARS-COV-2 entry into cells. Another aspect of the disclosure is directed to gene therapy methods for treating COVID-19, and vectors for carrying out the same. Finally, the disclosure provides nutritional supplements to support human immunity and prevent or inhibit viral infections.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of using gene therapy to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) without inducing cancer or tumorigenesis. The methods disclosed herein employ plasmids and vectors that contain transcription factors and an anti-oncogene such as PCBP1 which inhibits the expression of cancer biomarkers and concomitant oncogenesis.
