摘要:
Disclosed herein are new prognostic molecular markers for prostate cancer. More specifically, the invention has identified that overexpression or amplification of at least one of AURKA or MYCN define a distinct subgroup of prostate cancer that is predisposed to the development of lethal NEPC, who will benefit from early intervention.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of preventing or inhibiting the onset and/or treating autoimmune demyelinating neuropathy and other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases involving macrophage infiltration.
摘要:
Sirt5, a mitochondrial Sirtuin, has been identified herein as an efficient demalonylase and desuccinylase. Disclosed herein are assays to identify Sirt5 modulators based on this robust enzymatic activity. Sirt5-specific modulators can be used study the biological function of Sirt5 and to target Sirt5 activities in treating human diseases.
摘要:
A monomer useful in prepa&pgr;ng therapeutic compounds includes a diversity element which potentially binds to a target molecule with a dissociation constant of less than 300 11 M and a linker element connected to the diversity element The linker element has a molecular weight less than 500 daltons, is connected, directly or indirectly through a connector, to said diversity element, and is capable of forming a reversible covalent bond or noncovalent interaction with a binding partner of the linker element The monomers can be covalently or non-covalently linked together to form a therapeutic multimer or a precursor thereof.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of preventing or treating a gastrointestinal condition in a subject, that includes administering one or more branched chain fatty acid to the subject under conditions effective to prevent or treat the gastrointestinal condition in the subject. In general, branched chain fatty acids, in accordance with the present invention, may be non-esterified fatty acids or covalently linked to a lipid, including wax esters, sterol esters, triacylglycerols, or any other lipid-related molecular species, natural or artificial. The branched chain fatty acid can be a C11 to C26 branched chain fatty acid and mixtures thereof.
