Abstract:
Quinoxaline compounds are described as well as methods for the preparation and pharmaceutical compositions of same, which are useful as interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptor antagonists and can be used in the treatment of a chemokine-mediated disease wherein the chemokine binds to an IL-8a (CXCR1) or b (CXCR2) receptor such as a chemokine-mediated disease selected from psoriasis, or atopic distress syndrome, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, gastric ulcer, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram-negative sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, stroke, cardiac and renal reperfusion injury, glomerulo-nephritis, or thrombosis, Alzheimers disease, graft versus host reaction, allograft rejections, or allergic diseases.

Abstract:
Topical formulations of CoQ10 reduce the rate of tumor growth in an animal subject. In the experiments described herein, CoQ10 was shown to increase the rate of apoptosis in a culture of skin cancer cells but not normal cells. Moreover, treatment of tumor-bearing animals with a topical formulation of CoQ10 was shown to dramatically reduce the rate of tumor growth in the animals.

Assignee:
Crayola LLC - Easton PA
International Classification:
A63H 33/00 C08L 29/04
US Classification:
446490, 524557
Abstract:
The present invention relates to moldable sand compositions, methods for making the moldable sand compositions, and methods for using the moldable sand compositions. In a particular embodiment, the moldable sand composition comprises between about 70% to about 95% sand, between about 5% to about 30% water, a polar polymeric resin, a crosslinking agent, and a humectant. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition contains no oils, waxes, glycols, or rubbers. The composition is capable of becoming hardened over time in order to maintain the achieved shape, and can be re-wetted and molded again after becoming hardened.

International Classification:
C12N 5/078 C12N 9/10
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for monitoring cell to cell (“cell-cell”) interactions in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for the use of these compositions and methods (i) to identify and enrich for tumor-specific antigen (TSA) reactive T cells from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or circulating T cells; (ii) to identify and enrich for T cells that recognize autoantigens in a particular autoimmune disease, and/or (iii) to identify and enrich for antigen specific regulatory T cells that have the potential to be exploited to treat autoimmune disease. In some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides for methods of treating diseases, e.g., cancer with such TSA reactive T cells isolated via the present methods.
