The invention provides for methods for treating a hair loss disorder in a subject by administering a Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription inhibitor.

Methods for treating hair loss disorders

Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for generating a immune response in an individual and/or inducing the expression of neoantigens on the surface of abnormal (such as proliferative) cells via promotion of premature termination codon (PTC) read-through and inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) bearing PTCs.

Methods for inducing an immune response

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods involve generating an immune response in an individual by inducing the expression of neoantigens on the surface of abnormal (such as proliferative) cells. In one embodiment, a method of treating cancer in a subject includes administering amlexanox in combination with immune modulators, such as checkpoint inhibitors, immune co-stimulatory molecules, TLR agonists, and TNFR superfamily agonists. In one embodiment, the checkpoint inhibitors are selected from antibodies against PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4.

Methods for treating colon cancer with compositions comprising amlexanox and immune checkpoint inhibitors

Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for generating a immune response in an individual and/or inducing the expression of neoantigens on the surface of abnormal (such as proliferative) cells via inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) bearing premature termination codons (PTCs).

Methods for inducing an immune response by inhibition of nonsense mediated decay

Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for generating a immune response in an individual and/or inducing the expression of neoantigens on the surface of abnormal (such as proliferative) cells via promotion of premature termination codon (PTC) read-through of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) bearing PTCs.

Methods for inducing an immune response by promoting premature termination codon read-through

The invention provides for a method for aggregating dermal papilla cells or dermal sheath cells or a combination thereof, the method comprising: growing dermal papilla cells or dermal sheath cells or a combination thereof in suspension culture; and contacting the culture with an effective amount of an enzyme, wherein a substrate of the enzyme is an extracellular matrix molecule in the suspension culture, so as to aggregate dermal papilla cells or dermal sheath cells. The culture may be a hanging drop culture and the enzyme may be a hyaluronidase.
