摘要:
Genetically modified non-human animals are provided that exhibit a functional lack of one or more IncRNAs. Methods and compositions for disrupting, deleting, and/or replacing IncRNA-encoding sequences are provided. Genetically modified mice that age prematurely are provided. Also provided are cells, tissues and embryos that are genetically modified to comprise a loss-of-function of one or more IncRNAs.

The present invention relates to novel compounds for use for preventing, alleviating or treating pain in a subject. Also herein described are pharmaceutical compositions, their preparation and uses as well as methods for preventing, alleviating or treating pain using such compounds and compositions.
摘要:
Disclosed are DNA encoding a polypeptide which can modulate the activity of a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase, and others. The DNA is selected from the following members (a) to (d): (a) DNA comprising a specific nucleotide sequence; (b) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleotide sequence under stringent conditions; (c) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having the substitution, deletion and/or addition of one or several amino acid residues in a specific amino acid sequence; and (d) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher homology to a specific nucleotide sequence.
摘要:
Genetically modified non-human animals are provided that exhibit a functional lack of one or more lncRNAs. Methods and compositions for disrupting, deleting, and/or replacing lncRNA-encoding sequences are provided. Genetically modified mice that age prematurely are provided. Also provided are cells, tissues and embryos that are genetically modified to comprise a loss-of-function of one or more lncRNAs.
摘要:
A viable global NaV1.7−/− knockout mouse is disclosed, and a breeding colony of global NaV1.7−/− knockout mice. Also disclosed are an isolated mouse gamete that does not encode a functional NaV1.7−/−, produced by the NaV1.7−/− knockout mouse; an isolated NaV1.7−/− mouse cell, or a progeny cell thereof, isolated from the NaV1.7−/− knockout mouse; and a primary cell culture or a secondary cell line and a tissue or organ explant or culture thereof derived from the NaV1.7−/− knockout mouse. Disclosed also are a hybridoma, wherein the hybridoma was originally formed from the fusion of the isolated NaV1.7−/− mouse cell mouse cell and a myeloma cell, and a method of making an antibody. Also disclosed are assays useful for screening prospective NaV1.7 inhibitors and dose ranging a test NaV17 inhibitor compound, which were validated using the NaV1.7−/− knockout mouse.
摘要:
The present invention relates to uses of antagonists of Rspondin-3 (Rspo3) polypeptides or Rspondin-3 nucleic acids. The invention is based on the demonstration that partial deficiency of Rspo3 leads to a significant increase of bone mass. These results indicate a major role for Rspo3 as a bone anabolic marker or target. Thus, the invention also relates to the use of Rspo3 antagonists in the treatment of osteopenia disorders, particularly in conditions associated with increased bone resorption.
摘要:
The present invention is based on the studies of the pathogenic role of CCL17-expressing DCs and their effector function in inflammatory diseases, particularly in atherosclerotic diseases. It relates to agents inhibiting the binding reaction between a CCL17 cytokine and a CCL17 receptor for use as a medicament ( Fig. 5a ).
摘要:
A genetically modified livestock animal, and methods of making and using the same, the animal comprising a genetic modification to disrupt a target gene selectively involved in gametogenesis, wherein the disruption of the target gene prevents formation of functional gametes of the animal. Animals that create progeny with donor genetics, and methods of making and using the same. Cells, and methods of making and using the cells, with a genetic modification to disrupt a target gene selectively involved in gametogenesis.
