5 results about "Autoimmune responses" patented technology

This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine and natural medicines, and discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating thyroiditis, nodular goiter, and thyroid nodules, as well as its preparation method and application. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is made from raw materials in parts by weight of 1-30 parts of Prunella vulgaris, 1-30 parts of Taraxacum mongolicum, 1-30 parts of Hordeum vulgare malt, 1-20 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 1-24 parts of Crataegus pinnatifida, and 1-24 parts of Raphanus sativus seed. It can not only significantly reduce serum TgAb and TPOAb antibody levels, inhibiting the attack of autoimmune response on the thyroid gland from the source, but also effectively reduce lymphocyte infiltration, repair damaged thyroid follicular structure and restore colloid content, thereby reversing immune damage and tissue destruction of the thyroid gland, reducing thyroid nodules, and solving the problems of existing treatments for thyroiditis, nodular goiter, and thyroid nodules that cannot reverse immune damage to the thyroid gland, destruction of follicular structure, and tissue fibrosis.

The present disclosure provides inter alia, molecules comprising an autoantibody-binding domain and at least one modified Fc domain. The present disclosure also provides methods and compositions that allow for selective depletion and / or neutralization of pathogenic autoantibodies.

The present invention relates to tetrahydrobenzo-isoquinoline sulfonamide derivatives of formula (I), processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in treating disorders caused by IgE (such as allergic responses, non-allergic mast cell responses or certain autoimmune responses), and in particular disorders caused by the interaction of IgE with the FcεRI receptor.

This disclosure describes a novel approach that specifically modulates the activity and / or the number of intratumoral regulatory T (Treg) cells in a subject. Such an approach can be used to reduce the number of intratumoral T regulatory cells in a subject as well as to inhibit tumor growth in a subject having a cancer without eliciting autoimmune responses.

The invention features cells, islet-like cells, pancreatic islets and organoids (e.g., human islet-like organoids or HILOs), as well as cell cultures and methods that are useful for the rapid and reliable generation of cells and organoids, such as pancreatic islets and organoids, that are sustainable in vivo and that evade immune detection, rejection and autoimmunity. The invention also features methods of treating pancreatic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, and pancreatic cancer, using the cells, islet-like cells, pancreatic islets and organoids (e.g., HILOs) that are designed to modulate the activity of immune cells that would otherwise react against them.
