Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies against LRP6 and that block the Wnt signaling pathway are disclosed. Methods of production and use thereof are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting at least one of vascular leakage, angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis in an animal by administering to the animal an effective amount of a composition, wherein the composition is selected from the group consisting of kallistatin, fragments of kallistatin, analogs or derivatives of kallistatin, and combinations thereof.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting at least one of vascular leakage, inflammation and fibrosis in an animal by administering to the animal a vascular leakage inhibiting amount of a composition, wherein at a substantially higher amount the composition is effective in inhibiting angiogenesis, and wherein the anti-angiogenic activity of the composition is separate from the vascular leakage inhibiting activity of the composition. The animal experiencing at least one of vascular leakage, inflammation and fibrosis has a disease selected from the group consisting of diabetes, chronic inflammation, brain edema, arthritis, uvietis, macular edema, cancer, hyperglycemia, a kidney inflammatory disease, a disorder resulting in kidney fibrosis, a disorder of the kidney resulting in proteinuria, and combinations thereof. The composition capable of inhibiting at least one of vascular leakage, inflammation and fibrosis is selected from the group consisting of angiostatin, fragments of angiostatin, analogs or derivatives of angiostatin, pigment epithelium-derived factor, fragments of pigment epithelium-derived factor, analogs or derivatives of pigment epithelium-derived factor and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Nitrone-based compositions are disclosed that may be utilized for the prevention and treatment of a variety of ophthalmic diseases or conditions where RPE65 protein isomerohydrolase is implicated. Methods of production and use of said nitrone-based compositions, as well as pharmaceutical and ophthalmic compositions containing same, are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating microvascular complications associated with diabetes and age-related macular degeneration. The methods include administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a composition, wherein the composition is selected from the group consisting of kallistatin, fragments of kallistatin, analogs or derivatives of kallistatin, and combinations thereof.
