摘要:
The present invention relates to a vascular endothelial cell inhibitor, VEGI, capable of inhibiting angiogenesis in cellular models and tumourigenesis in animal models, and methods of use.
摘要:
The expression and subcellular localization of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptors (PBR) is shown in this application to correlate with the metastatic potential of cells, and increased cell proliferation. Inhibition of PBR expression, function or stability results in a decrease in cell proliferation. Compositions and methods for regulating and/or monitoring PBR and its expression are useful for the detection, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of solid tumors, in particular, breast cancer.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting carcinoma progression wherein matriptase plays a role in a subject in need of such inhibition including administering to a subject an effective amount of a compound comprising two positively charged groups, which are the same or different. The groups are linked by a chemical group having a length of between 5 and 30 A, and preferably between 15 and 24 A. Diagnostic methods based on matriptase action and therapeutic methods involving inhibition of matriptase activity are provided. Exemplary compounds are pentamidine and analogs thereof.
摘要:
The invention generally features a method of diagnosing a precancerous or cancerous condition of the prostate gland by monitoring levels of nerve growth factor receptor, or fragments thereof. The invention also features a method of treating a precancerous of cancerous condition of the prostate gland by administering a preparation of nerve growth factor receptor, or a fragment thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding a response regulator, CaSsk1p, and methods for use, as well as describes the construction and characterization and use of a Δcassk1 mutant of C. albicans and methods of use.
摘要:
A method is provided for inducing cell death comprising administering to said cell a composition comprising tempo or a functional derivative of tempo.
摘要:
The present invention provides diagnostic tests in which to identify individuals predisposed to essential hypertension, and the genetic, cellular and biochemical tools in which to carry out these tests. The present invention also provides methods of screening substances for anti-hypertensive properties in which to facilitate drug discovery for antihypertensive agents. A wide variety of tools are provided for these purposes as well. The present invention further provides compositions and methods for normalizing sodium transport in kidney cells of individuals having essential hypertension.
