Abstract:
Described herein are compositions and methods for modulating cellular senescence of a cell or induction of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in a cell. The methods generally comprise modulating the level or activity of IRE1a as a mean to control cellular senescence and induction of the SASP. Also described are methods for treating and preventing ocular vascular diseases comprising contacting cells in an eye of a subject with a biguanide compound and ophthalmic compositions comprising a biguanide compound.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel compounds compositions and methods for (i) treating or preventing inflammation; and (ii) preventing or reducing hyperactivation of innate immune response, by inhibiting NRP1-dependent cell-signaling. Also provided are compounds, composition, and methods of specifically inhibiting SEMA3A-mediated cell signaling.
Abstract:
Novel methods for modulating acute myeloid leukemia stem/progenitor cell expansion and/or differentiation are disclosed. These methods are based on the use of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) modulators and/or compounds of formula I or II Screening assays to identify compounds that may be useful for inhibiting and/or eliminating AML initiating cells using AhR modulators and/or the compounds of formula I or II are also disclosed. The use of pharmaceutically acceptable agonists of the AhR for preventing or inhibiting minimal residual disease (MRD) in an AML patient is also disclosed.

Abstract:
Described herein is a method of preventing or treating ocular vascular hyperpermeability including macular edema, in a subject comprising inhibiting Sema3A activity. Also disclosed are compositions and their use for preventing or treating Sema3A-dependent ocular vascular hyperpermeability.
Abstract:
Novel minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs) are described. These novel MiHAs were selected based on two features: (i) they are encoded by loci with a minor allele frequency (MAF) of at least 0.05; and (ii) they have adequate tissue distribution. Compositions, nucleic acids and cells related to these novel MiHAs are also described. The present application also discloses the use of these novel MiHAs, and related compositions, nucleic acids and cells, in applications related to cancer immunotherapy, for example for the treatment of hematologic cancers such as leukemia.
