Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods of treating conditions requiring removal or destruction of harmful or unwanted cells in a patient, such as benign and malignant tumors, using compounds containing or based on peptides comprising a part of the amino acid sequence of a neural thread protein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to racemized proteins and racemized protein components of spherons that are useful for identifying compounds capable of preventing and/or ameliorating symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease and/or dementia associated with cerebral amyloidosis. The invention also relates to the compounds identified by the methods, and methods of treating and/or ameliorating symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease and/or dementia associated with cerebral amyloidosis. The invention also relates to methods of making an Alzheimer's Disease or dementia associated with cerebral amyloidosis animal model or test animal, the animal model produced therefrom, and to a method of using the animal model to screen for effective therapies.

Abstract:
Methods of treating and/or prophylaxis Alzheimer's disease by preventing the formation of cerebral amyloid due to the growth and disruption of dense microspheres (DMS) are disclosed utilizing medicaments that are effective in preventing or inhibiting the growth and disruption of DMS.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods of treating conditions requiring removal or destruction of harmful or unwanted cells in a patient, such as benign and malignant tumors, using compounds containing or based on peptides comprising a part of the amino acid sequence of a neural thread protein.
Abstract:
Dense microspheres can be extracted and purified to substantial homogeneity from mammalian brain tissue, and used in the screening of therapies for potential effectiveness in impeding the formation of amyloid fibrils associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cerebral amyloidosis. Compounds that, at in-tissue concentrations of 10−5 M or less, inhibit amyloid formation in a test animal injected intracerebrally with dense microspheres are particularly useful in inhibiting treating cerebral amyloidosis.

Abstract:
The embodiments include methods of treating conditions requiring removal or destruction of cellular elements, such as benign or malignant tumors in humans, using compounds based on small peptides. The method includes, but is not limited to, administering the compounds intramuscularly, orally, intravenously, intrathecally, intratumorally, intranasally, topically, transdermally, etc., either alone or conjugated to a carrier.
Abstract:
This application discloses compositions and methods for treating conditions requiring removal or destruction of harmful or unwanted cells in a patient, such as benign and malignant tumors, using compounds containing or based on multimeric peptides.
