    Abstract: This invention identifies a biologically active group of peptide sequences from Type I repeat units of the extracellular matrix protein, human thrombospondin-1, identical or homologous to the sequence, KRFKQDGGWSHWSPWSSC (SEQ ID NO.30). The biological activities residing with the full sequences, portions thereof, and variants of the full or partial sequences are disclosed. The invention describes how biological activity may be enhanced by covalently linking these peptides to suitable carriers, preferably a branched, water-soluble polymer of low (or absent) toxicity and immunogenicity, such as polysucrose (Ficoll.TM.). The invention describes (1) a method for preparing such conjugates, (2) the use of the defined peptides or their conjugates in blocking or modifying the action on cellular processes of heparin (e.g., proliferation, adhesion, motility, extravasation and neovascularization), sulfatides, related sulfated glycoconjugates, fibronectin, and basic fibroblast growth factor, involving malignant cell lines and normal endothelial cells. Use of the defined peptides, analogs or peptidomimetics and their conjugates for treatment of metastatic tumors, breast carcinomas, melanomas, Kaposi's sarcomas, hemangiomas, diabetic retinopathies, and various pathological conditions dependent upon neovascularization is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for preventing, ameliorating, and/or reducing tissue ischemia and/or tissue damage due to ischemia, increasing blood vessel diameter, blood flow and tissue perfusion in the presence of vascular disease including peripheral vascular disease, atherosclerotic vascular disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and influencing other conditions, by suppressing CD47 and/or blocking TSP1 and/or CD47 activity or interaction. Influencing the interaction of CD47-TSP1 in blood vessels allows for control of blood vessel diameter and blood flow, and permits modification of blood pressure and cardiac function. Under conditions of decreased blood flow, for instance through injury or atherosclerosis, blocking TSP1-CD47 interaction allows blood vessels to dilate and increases blood flow, tissue perfusion and tissue survival. This in turn reduces or prevents tissue necrosis and death. The therapeutics identified herein allow for precise regulation of blood flow to tissues and organs which need it, while substantially avoiding systemic complications. Methods and compositions described herein can be used to increase tissue survival under conditions of trauma and surgery, as well as conditions of chronic vascular disease. Also disclosed are methods for the treatment of elderly subjects using agents that affect TSP1 and CD47 and thereby affect tissue perfusion. Additionally, provided herein are compositions and methods for influencing blood coagulation, allowing for controlled increased or decreased blood clotting. Additionally, provided herein are compositions and methods for decreasing blood flow, as in the case of cancer through mimicking the effects of TSP1 and CD47 on blood vessel diameter and blood flow.

    Abstract: A method of forming and handling an array of micro-devices such as thin film devices that enables simultaneous mass handling and processing of these thin film devices. A plurality of micro-devices and links are simultaneously formed on a wafer, with the links interconnecting the micro-devices for maintaining a unitary array structure. A matrix of magnetic strips is then formed to impart added overall tensile strength to the array. The magnetic strips are secured to the links and form a planar support grid therewith. The array of micro-devices is then released from the wafer and lifted therefrom by means of a magnetic pick-up tool. Using the pick-up tool, the array is transferred onto a magnetic chuck which securely retains the array. Conductive wires are bonded to a row of micro-devices devices which are then separated from the array into individual micro-devices.

    Abstract: A carbohydrate receptor for pathogenic bacteria is a purified carbohydrate compound that is a member selected from the group consisting of fucosyl-asialo GM1, asialo GM1, and asialo GM2. The receptor can be included in a composition having a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The receptor may be used for purifying, detecting, or removing bacteria from diseased tissue. The structure of the receptor is N-acetylagalctosamine-beta-1-4-galactose-beta-1-4-glucose, abbreviated GalNAc.beta.1-4Gal.beta.1-4Glc. The receptor is present in human and animal tissues as complex molecule and can serve as the attachment site for bacterial infection. For example, fucosyl-asialo GM1, asialo GM1, and asialo GM2 are three biological molecules which occur in cell membranes and contain the carbohydrate receptor.
