摘要:
The invention regards the modulation of TGF-β activity by administering to a subject an antibody that binds to TGF-β, thereby increasing bone growth, bone formation, bone mass and bone strength. The antibody acts to increase osteoblast number and function while at the same time decreasing osteoclast number and function. Such drugs are useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, metastatic bone cancer, myeloma bone disease, bone fractures, etc.
摘要:
Cancer patients, patients with cognitive dysfunction, or patients with pulmonary hypertension are treated with parenterally administered therapeutic doses of statins. Particularly, transdermal, injection employing liquid infusion or particles are employed. For cancer, the statins may be used by themselves or in conjunction with a chemotherapeutic regimen. Liver cancer is treated orally with super doses of statins.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit the activity of the proteasome or the productions of proteasomal proteins and promote bone formation and are thus useful in treating osteoporosis, bone fracture or deficiency, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, periodontal disease or defect, metastatic bone disease, osteolytic bone disease, post-plastic surgery, post-prosthetic joint surgey, and post-dental implantation, in subject where this is desirable.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit the activity of the proteasome or the production of proteasomal proteins and promote hair growth and the production of hair follicles and are thus useful in stimulating hair growth, including hair density, in subject where this is desirable.
摘要:
Compounds containing two aromatic systems covalently linked through a linker containing one or more atoms, or "linker" defined as including a covalent bond per se so as to space the aromatic systems at a distance 1.5-15 .ANG., are effective in treating conditions associated with bone deficits. The compounds can be administered to vertebrate subjects alone or in combination with additional agents that promote bone growth or that inhibit bone resorption. They can be screened for activity prior to administration by assessing their ability to effect the transcription of a reporter gene coupled to a promoter associated with a bone morphogenetic protein and/or their ability to stimulate calvarial growth in model animal systems.
摘要:
The present invention provides therapeutic compositions for the prevention and treatment of pathological conditions involving bone and dental tissue. The present invention also provides a method to promote bone repair and/or growth for the treatment of pathological conditions involving bone tissue, for example, osteoporosis, Paget's disease, osteopetrosis, and periodontal disease and fracture repair, and healing of bone defects by administering FGF-1 to an animal or human in need of treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel osteoclast growth regulatory factor, hereinafter referred to as "osteoclastpoietic factor (OPF)," which stimulates the formation of osteoclast bone cells, a process of preparing same, therapeutic and diagnostic uses thereof, antibodies to and antagonists of OPF, and assays for OPF, all of which relate to the development of therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of diseases involving bone tissue, for example, osteoporosis, Paget's disease and osteopetrosis.
摘要:
Compounds that inhibit the activity of NF-&kgr;B or inhibit the activity of the proteasome or both promote bone formation and are thus useful in treating osteoporosis, bone fracture or deficiency, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, periodontal disease or defect, metastatic bone disease, osteolytic bone disease, post-plastic surgery, post-prosthetic joint surgery, and post-dental implantation.
