摘要:
In certain aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for modulating (promoting or inhibiting) growth of a tissue, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, and/or neuronal tissue. The present invention also provides methods of screening compounds that modulate activity of an ActRIIB protein and/or an ActRIIB ligand. The compositions and methods provided herein are useful in treating diseases associated with abnormal activity of an ActRIIB protein and/or an ActRIIB ligand.
摘要:
The application describes compositions and methods for regulating body weight, in particular, for treating obesity and obesity-associate disorders. The application also provides methods of screening compounds that modulate activity of GDF3. These compositions and methods are also useful in treating diseases associated with abnormal activity of GDF3.

摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for promoting bone growth. The present invention also provides methods of screening compounds that modulate BMP-3A or BMP-3B activity. The compositions and methods provided herein are useful in modulating bone growth.
摘要:
The application is directed to TGF analogs/derepressors that bind to and neutralize cystine knot-containing BMP antagonists—such as the CAN subfamily of Cystine-knot proteins including sclerostin. The subject TGF derepressors can be prepared as substantially pyrogen-free pharmaceutical compositions for administration to mammals, in treating diseases such as bone diseases including osteoporosis, and any conditions with lesser-than-desired amount of BMP activity.
