Abstract:
A method of treating a disease in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprising: (a) transplanting a non-syngeneic cell or tissue graft to the subject; and (b) administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated population of cells comprising non-graft versus host (GVHD) inducing anti-third party cells having a central memory T-lymphocyte (Tcm) phenotype, the cells being tolerance-inducing cells and capable of homing to the lymph nodes following transplantation, and further wherein the cells are either: (i) non-syngeneic with both the subject and the graft; or (ii) non-syngeneic with the graft and syngeneic with the subject, thereby treating the subject.
Abstract:
A method of potentiating cardiac regeneration with neuregulin treatment in a subject in need thereof. The method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutic effective amount of an agent which upregulates activity or expression of ErbB-2, thereby potentiating cardiac regeneration with neuregulin treatment.
Abstract:
A system for carbon fixation is provided. The system comprises enzymes which catalyze reactions of a carbon fixation pathway, wherein at least one of the reactions of the carbon fixation pathway is a carboxylation reaction, wherein products of the reactions of the carbon fixation pathway comprise oxaloacetate and malonyl-CoA, wherein an enzyme which performs the carboxylation reaction is selected from the group consisting of phophoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxlase, pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase and wherein an export product of the carbon fixation pathway is glyoxylate. Additional carbon fixation pathways are also provided and methods of generating same.
Abstract:
An antibody comprising an antigen recognition region which comprises CDR amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Abstract:
Use of an agent which upregulates an activity or amount of miRNA-9 or miRNA-9* is disclosed for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a motor neuron disease (MND).
Abstract:
In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present technique, there is disclosed a spins selective device, including a first layer comprising a ferromagnetic material. The spin selective device further includes a second layer coupled to the first layer. The second layer includes at least one molecule having a specified chirality, such that when an electrical current flows between the first layer and the second layer one or more regions of the ferromagnetic material become magnetically polarized along a certain direction.
Abstract:
Isolated peptides of 13-30 amino acids comprising 5-9 consecutive repeats of the amino acid pair Alanine-Leucine or Alanine-Valine are provided. The peptides further comprise a stretch of 1-3 Lysine residues present at least at one of the peptide's termini, wherein the only Lysine residue in the isolated peptide is present at the stretch of 1-3 Lysine residues. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, methods of treating inflammatory conditions and allergic reactions, as well as methods of neutralizing the activity of lypopolysaccharides are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for tumor treatment by administering an inhibitor of quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 1 (QSOX1), compositions comprising such inhibitors, and methods for identifying such inhibitors.
Abstract:
Isolated peptides comprising nuclear targeting activity or being capable of preventing endogenous nuclear targeting activity are disclosed. Polynucleotides encoding same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, as well as uses thereof are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A subpopulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that is substantially devoid of CD3+ cells, CD19+ cells, CD56+ cells and optionally of CD16+ cells, for use in treatment of CNS injury is provided.
