Provided herein are novel compositions comprising anti-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof derived from 6G8G7 and 7C5B2 anti-DEspR variant antibodies, including fully human, composite engineered human, humanized, monoclonal, and polyclonal anti-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof, and methods of their use in a variety of therapeutic applications. The compositions comprising the anti-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof described herein are useful in diagnostic and imaging methods, such as DEspR-targeted molecular imaging of angiogenesis, and for companion diagnostic and/or in vivo non-invasive imaging and/or assessments.

Anti-DEspR monoclonal antibody targeted therapy and imaging for cancer and stroke

Provided herein are novel compositions comprising anti-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof, including fully human, composite engineered human, humanized, monoclonal, and polyclonal anto-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof, and methods of their use in a variety of therapeutic applications. The compositions comprising the anti-DEspR antibodies and fragments thereof described herein are useful in diagnostic and imaging methods, such as DEspR-targeted molecular imaging of angiogenesis, and for companion diagnostic and/or in vivo-non invasive imaging and/or assessments.

Anti-DEspR inhibitors as therapeutics for inhibition of pathological angiogenesis and tumor cell invasiveness and for molecular imaging and targeted delivery

Described herein are methods and compositions relating to methods of inhibiting neutrophils, e.g., inhibiting NET release or NETosis, by means of a DEspR inhibitor, e.g., an anti-DEspR antibody reagent. In some embodiments, the methods can relate to the treatment of a disease, e.g., cancer or a disease wherein neutrophils; NETs; or NETosing or NETting neutrophils contribute to pathogenesis, chronicity, or worsening of disease. In some embodiments, the DEspR inhibitor can be a bi-specific reagent or an antibody-drug conjugate.

Methods for treating netosis and neutrophil activation

Provided herein are theranostic compositions comprising a Janus nanoparticle-coated microbubble that are useful for imaging (e.g., MRI, or ultrasound) and for delivering a therapeutic or bioactive agent (e.g., nucleic acid(s), drugs, etc), among other uses.

Theranostic compositions and uses thereof

The present application is directed to the identification of mutations and/or polymorphisms in the Dual Endothelin-1/Angiotensin II Receptor (Dear) that indicate susceptibility to, or show current affliction with, hypertension. Additionally, the present invention discloses methods for the modulation of angiogenesis via the regulation of Dear.

Roles for Dual Endothelin-1/Angiotensin II Receptor (Dear) in hypertension and angiogenesis

Roles for dual endothelin-1/angiotensin II receptor (Dear) in hypertension and angiogenesis
