    Abstract: Methods for accelerated cell lineage conversion and the treatment of patients with the lineage converted cells are provided. The methods include the steps of transfecting a cell with a composition that includes at least one synthetic mRNA encoding a chimeric protein that corresponds to an engineered fusion of a transcription factor and an heterologous peptide sequence derived from the C-terminal TAD of Gal4. The TAD domain enhances the epigenetic remodeling activity of the chimeric protein increasing the speed of lineage conversion. The converted cells may be used for research or administered to a human or animal patient as a therapy. In one preferred embodiment, the reprogramming of a somatic cell to pluripotency is accelerated by using a cocktail of mRNAs expressing a combination of wild-type or engineered reprogramming factors where Oct4 and/or Sox2 and/or Nanog are expressed as Gal4 TAD chimeras.

The fermentation process of the present invention can enhance the content of total polysaccharide in the herb ferment, and effectively increase the amylase inhibition rate and the glucosidase inhibition rate of the herb ferment to effectively inhibit the decomposition and absorption of starch and glucoside. The herb ferment of the present invention can also effectively reduce the blood glucose of subjects after meals, and can effectively reduce the body weight, BMI value, waist circumference, visceral fat, average whole body fat percentage, and average body fat percentage, and can be effectively used to regulate blood glucose and blood lipids for weight loss. The herb ferment is prepared by fermenting the herb extract to yeast and lactic acid bacteria.

  • Publication number: 20210196769
    Abstract: Compositions for affecting the intestinal microbiome of a mammalian subject can include a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and greater than or equal to 1×104 PFU/mL or PFU/mg of bacteriophage having a tropism that includes an obesogenic and/or inflammatory bacterium associated with an intestinal microbiome of a mammal. Processes for preparing the disclosed compositions can include isolating the bacteriophage from an environmental source, characterizing the bacteriophage, and combining the bacteriophage with the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier at greater than or equal to 1×104 PFU/mL or PFU/mg. Methods can include administering the disclosed compositions to a mammalian subject with or without co-administration of the disclosed probiotics.
