摘要:
FGF18 is known to stimulate the proliferation of chondrocytes, bone, and nervous tissue, resulting in repair of diseased tissue. When an IL-1 antagonist is administered in addition to FGF18, the effects on the IL-1 mediated disease and also, the effect on cartilage, bone, and nervous cell proliferation, are found to be greater than administration of FGF18 or the IL-1 antagonist alone. The present invention encompasses a pharmaceutical composition that combines FGF18 with IL-1 antagonist and uses thereof in the treatment of IL-1 mediated disease, wherein the IL-1-mediated disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polynucleotide and polypeptide molecules for zfsta2, a novel member of the follistatin family. The polypeptides, and polynucleotides encoding them are useful for binding to members of the TGF-β family and mediating central nervous system, reproductive, hematopoietic and bone-related activities. The present invention also includes antibodies to the zfsta2 polypeptides.

摘要:
FGF18 is known to stimulate the proliferation of chondrocytes, resulting in increased cartilage formation. When hyaluronic acid is administered in addition to FGF18, the effects on chondrocyte proliferation and production of matrix were found to be greater than administration of FGF18 or hyaluronic acid alone.
