摘要:
This invention relates to human fibroblast growth factor (hFGF-21), and to variants thereof and to polynucleotides encoding FGF-21. The invention also relates to diagnostic and therapeutic agents related to the polynucleotides and proteins, including probes and antibodies, and to methods of treating liver disease such as cirrhosis and cancer, methods of treating conditions related to thymic function, and methods of treating conditions of the testis. The invention also relates to mouse fibroblast growth factor (mFGF-21), and to variants thereof and polynucleotides encoding mFGF-21.
摘要:
The invention provides, inter alia, methods for treating cancer and vascular disease, compositions for treating cancer and vascular disease, and methods and compositions for diagnosing and/or detecting cancer and vascular disease.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides for the detection of prion diseases in humans and animals. Compositions and kits for determining prion disease are also described
摘要:
The present invention relates to the design, manufacture and use of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) polypeptides having improved receptor specificity. In particular, the invention relates to isolated FGF2 and FGF4 polypeptides that include a truncated N-terminus and optionally N-terminal amino acid substitutions. The present invention provides polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides, compositions of the same and methods for use thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases that are useful for encouraging the development of healthy skin and for treating wounds. The inhibitors are peptides having sequences related to cleavage regions of the proenzyme forms of matrix metalloproteinases. The peptide inhibitors of the invention can be formulated into therapeutic compositions, lotions, creams, skin covering and wound dressings that facilitate healing and healthy skin development, discourage scarring and wrinkling and ameliorate the effects of healing.
摘要:
The invention provides a stable solution formulation comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion at a pH between about pH 6 and about pH 8.5. analogs fused to specific IgG4-Fc derivatives. These formulations provide unexpected and considerably greater chemical stability than when compared to GLP-1-Fc fusions at a pH outside the described ranges. The formulations comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose, inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal motility and inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal emptying, or inhibiting food intake.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel peptide and use thereof, more particularly to an isolated peptide comprising 21-41 contiguous amino acids selected from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence homology to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and methods for promoting fibroblast proliferation and wound healing, which comprise administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of the peptide.
摘要:
The present invention provides Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF-23) polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. The invention also provides selective binding agents, vectors, host cells, and methods for producing FGF-23 polypeptides. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the diagnosis, treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with FGF-23 polypeptides.
