    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an angstrom silver injection for a cancer inhibition, a preparation method and an application. A composition of the angstrom silver injection includes: angstrom-level elementary substance silver powder with a concentration between 0.005 g/L and 0.500 g/L, medicinal anhydrous fructose with a concentration between 0.5 g/L and 1.0 g/L; sterile distilled water with a. concentration between 998.500 g/L and 999.495 g/L. Tumor cell membrane surface has higher negative charge, and the increase of the negative charge on the membrane surface relates to acid mucopolysaccharide, DNA, and side chain charge of protein, especially to the increase or exposure of sialic acid. Angstrom silver and silver ions have positive charge to combine with the protein and nucleic acid molecule with negative charge inside and outside cells for interfering with synthesis of the protein and replication and transcription of the DNA to destroy normal life activity of cancerous cells.

    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer in a human. The invention includes and relates to administering a genetically modified T cell to express a CAR system wherein the CAR system comprises a polynucleotide encoding multiple signaling-modules with either multiple antibody targeting tumor specific antigen or with membrane bound cytokine to further enhance immune cell survival and proliferation. The multi-costimulatory signaling structure gave less toxicity than conventional CAR-T structures using CD28 signaling domain. A CAR system with multiple antibodies targeting different tumor specific antigen can target difference cancer cell populations simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20200038484
    Abstract: Bioconjugation methods for promoting wound healing are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to the in situ application of non-photochemical crosslinking techniques such as copper-free click chemistry using strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) or multi-functional succinimidyl esters as a therapeutic delivery modality for biomolecules and stem cells to enhance wound healing.

  • Publication number: 20200038485
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for stimulating asymmetric division of at least some satellite stem cells in a patient suffering from a disease or disorder characterized by satellite cells having an inability, or a reduced ability, to assemble a functional dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) that results in an inability, or reduced ability, to establish cell polarity. The method includes administering to the patient a sufficient amount of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway activator to stimulate asymmetric division of at least some satellite stem cells.

  • Publication number: 20200038486
    Abstract: The present inventors discovered that an HMGB1 fragment peptide having a particular amino acid sequence exhibits effects of inhibiting finger adhesion and digestive tract scarring and prolonging survival in the dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa model mice. Also in the skin ulcer model, administration of the specific HMGB1 fragment peptide was found to inhibit the fibrosing of skin during the healing process of the ulcer. Based on these findings, the present application provides pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of fibrotic diseases, which comprise the specific HMGB1 fragment peptide.

  • Publication number: 20200038487
    Abstract: The invention discloses Interferon alpha (IFN-?) messenger-RNA (mRNA), wherein the mRNA has a 5? CAP region, a 5? untranslated region (5?-UTR), a coding region, a 3? untranslated region (3?-UTR) and a poly-adenosine tail (poly-A tail), for use in the prevention and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and kits for administrating this IFN-? mRNA to a human patient.
