    摘要: Described herein are methods and compositions for treating certain retinol-related diseases and conditions by modulation of transthyretin (TTR) and retinol binding protein (RBP) availability in the subject. For example, the methods and compositions provide for therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention of age-related macular degeneration and/or dystrophies, metabolic disorders, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, hyperostosis, and protein misfolding and aggregation diseases. The compositions disclosed may be used as single agent therapy or in combination with other agents or therapies. In addition, described herein are methods and assays for selecting appropriate agents that can modulate the TTR and RBP availability in a subject.

    摘要: Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating a subject suffering from Fragile X syndrome, autism, Down's syndrome, mental retardation, or a neuropsychiatric condition (e.g., schizophrenia). The methods include systemic administration of a a therapeutically effective amount of a PAK inhibitor in combination with a Group I mGluR antagonist (e.g., an mGluR5 antagonist). The PAK inhibitor and mGluR antagonist can be administered together, e.g., in one pharmacological composition, or they can be administered separately.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for detecting fluorescent molecules that are relevant to the health of the eye and related tissues. The presence of such molecules in the eye and related tissues can be used to diagnose whether the patient has certain diseases, including the macular degenerations and macular dystrophies. The amount of such molecules in the eye and related tissues can be used to determine the extent and stage of these diseases, to monitor the progress of these diseases, to design treatment strategies, to monitor the effectiveness of such treatments and to develop new therapies.
