摘要:
LDL receptor-related proteins 1 and 2 (LRP-1 and LRP-2) and interaction between lactoferrin and LRP-1, LRP-2, or p42/44 MAP kinase in diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as bone or cartilage disorders. Also disclosed are methods of screening for related therapeutic compounds.
摘要:
A pure lactoferrin polypeptide containing no more than two metal ions per molecule, or a mixture of the polypeptide and a fragment thereof. The polypeptide or the mixture stimulates skeletal growth and inhibits bone resorption. Also disclosed is a method of treating a bone-related disorder with the polypeptide or the mixture.

摘要:
A method for promoting bone growth in a patient (e.g., a mammal such as a human) said method including the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of adrenomedullin or an adrenomedullin agonist to said patient.

摘要:
This invention features a method for treating a bone condition in a patient, e.g., a mammal, a human, a horse, a dog, or a cat. The method includes administering an effective amount of preptin, preptin analog, or a preptin agonist to the patient.
摘要:
The present invention relates to new therapeutic use of amylin as agent which stimulates chondrocyte proliferation and which therefore have utility in the treatment of cartilage disorders and/or cartilage mediated bone growth.
摘要:
The use of amylin as an agent for stimulation of bone growth is provided together with methods of stimulating bone growth comprising subjecting bone to an effective amount of amylin or amylin agonists. Medicaments containing amylin or an amylin agonist are provided. The amylin or amylin agonist is preferably in the form in which the presence of TFA is minimized or totally removed. Preferably a salt with an inert anion is used. The method will be particularly useful in treating bone disorders where stimulation of bone growth is required. The treatment of osteoporosis, bone loss of malignancy, or endocrine disorders or arthritides or immobility and disuse and in fractures are examples of the many disorders which may be treated. Previous bone loss can be reversed, and bone density can be increased or maintained.
