Provided herein are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), such as those specific for BCMA, that have improved properties, including increased CAR T cell binding to BCMA and improved CAR T cell killing of BCMA-expressing cancer cells. Use of the CARs in immune cells (e.g., T cells), compositions (e.g., CARs and nucleic acid constructs encoding the same), and methods are also contemplated.

Anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptors

Described herein are compositions comprising a prostaglandin FP receptor agonist (PFPRA) compound and a fatty acid, e.g., oleic acid, that, when topically applied to the skin, locally delivers a therapeutically effective amount of the PFPRA compound or active metabolite thereof to subcutaneous fat under the skin. The therapeutic effect is, for example, reduction of the subcutaneous fat under the skin. Further provided are methods of reducing body fat in a subject comprising topically administering the composition to the subject. The present invention also provides kits comprising the composition and instructions for use.

Methods and compositions for topical delivery of prostaglandins to subcutaneous fat

Described herein are compositions comprising a prostaglandin FP receptor agonist (PFPRA) compound and a fatty acid ester (e.g., isopropyl myristate), optionally comprising an ointment base such as a hydrocarbon base (e.g., petroleum jelly) and/or an organic alcohol (e.g., propylene glycol), that, when topically applied to the skin, locally delivers a therapeutically effective amount of the PFPRA compound to subcutaneous fat under the skin, and methods of preparation. The therapeutic effect is, for example, reduction of the subcutaneous fat under the skin. Further provided are methods of reducing body fat in a subject comprising topically administering the composition to the subject.

Compositions and methods for topical delivery of prostaglandins to subcutaneous fat

Provided are methods, compositions, systems, and kits for treating metabolic syndrome or a disorder associated with metabolic syndrome, e.g., obesity, dyslipidemia, and/or a diabetic condition, comprising administering systemically to a subject one or more compounds of the Formula (I) and/or (II): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, stereoisomer, polymorph, tautomer, isotopically enriched derivative, or prodrug thereof, wherein, L, R, R, Z, X, A and B are defined herein.

Methods and compositions for treating metabolic syndrome

The present invention relates to compositions, such as bimatoprost, latanoprost and travoprost, and methods to reduce fat in the body of an individual, for example, by topical administration, injection, and/or implantation of such compositions.

Compositions and methods for reducing body fat

Described herein is a novel dosage regimen, and related uses and methods, for a prostaglandin FP receptor agonist (PFPRA) compound topically administered to the skin. The dosage regimen is useful for reduction of subcutaneous fat, for example, in patients who suffer from local excesses of subcutaneous fat. A particular advantage of the dosage regimen is the ability to reduce composition exposure and thereby promote convenience and comfort, while maintaining the desired exposure and therapeutic effect in subcutaneous fat. Further provided are kits according to the novel dosage regimen, comprising a PFPRA composition and instructions for use.

Topical dosage regimen

Provided are methods of reducing body fat in a subject, comprising locally (e.g., topically) administering one or more compounds of the Formula (I) and/or (V): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, stereoisomer, polymorph, tautomer, isotopically enriched derivative, or prodrug thereof, wherein X is &#x2014;OR, &#x2014;SR, or &#x2014;NRR, and R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R', Z, Y, n, y, and x, are as defined herein.
