Abstract Bioluminescence imagingBLIsystems are installed in thousands of facilities and labsand with their straightforward and low cost workflow for longitudinal studiesare the most commonly used preclinical modality for assessing tumor models in rodentsThere currently is no high throughput and low cost system enabling BLI images to be combined with anatomical images of soft tissue to confirm tumo ...

ImmuNext has identified and developed a putative lead anti VISTA monoclonal antibody mAb that we aim to bring to the clinic for the treatment of human autoimmune disease VISTA is a member of the highly successful negative checkpoint regulator NCR family of drug targets whose members have demonstrated proven efficacy in inducing long term remissions in human cancers We contend that antibodie ...

DESCRIPTIONprovided by applicantGlucose homeostasis and regulation of food intake are both promoted by the secretion of gut hormones following nutrient stimulation of enteroendocrine cellsL cellsin the lower gutThis process is impaired in diabetes but is restored when delivery of dietary compounds such as amino acids and fatty acids to the lower gut is facilitatedThis effect of delivery of nutrien ...
