摘要:
A method of treating cancer in an immune-privileged site of a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprises systemically administering to an area outside the immune-privileged site of the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of naive, viable cells of a tumor of the subject, the tumor being in the immune-privileged site so as to generate an immune response in the subject, thereby treating the cancer in the immune-privileged site of the subject.
摘要:
A method of treating a human cancer patient having a solid tumor comprising malignant cells is disclosed, wherein the patient having undergone a cancer therapy regimen comprising allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The method comprises administering allogeneic lymphocytes to the patient and monitoring the patient for levels of malignant cells.
摘要:
The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing restens by the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, comprising a compound of formula I: ##STR1## wherein: n=1 or 2 R.sub.1 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro, benzo, lower alkyl, phenyl and lower alkoxy;R.sub.2 is a member of the group consisting of hydroxy, acetoxy, and lower alkoxy, andR.sub.3 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkenoxy-carbonylas active ingredient therein, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
Quinoline-3-carboxamide compounds of formula (I) are effective in preventing, treating or ameliorating Type I diabetes. ##STR1## wherein ----- represents two conjugated double bonds between the atoms comprised by the dashed line, X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are independently selected from an oxygen atom or NH.sup.9, H.sup.1-9 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, wherein H.sup.7 and H.sup.8 are attached to different atoms selected from X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and the ring nitrogen atom of the quinoline ring. In particular, X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 being bound by a single bond to the ring when H.sup.7 or H.sup.8 is bonded thereto and by a double bond when H.sup.7 or H.sup.8 is not bonded thereto.
摘要:
A method of generating a population of cells useful for treating a brain disorder in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises contacting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with at least one exogenous miRNA having a nucleic acid sequence at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 15-19 and 27-35, thereby generating the population of cells and/or generating neurotrophic factors that may provide important signals to damaged tissues or locally residing stem cells. MSCs differentiated by miRs may also secrete miRs and deliver them to adjacent cells and therefore provide important signals to neighboring endogenous normal or malignant cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides new ceramide analogs indicated as the compounds of formula (II). These novel analogs exhibit a significant anti cancerous effect and are therefore provided as a pharmaceutical composition for treating cell proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolism-associated conditions, infectious diseases, and immune-related disorders. The invention further provides combined compositions and kits combining the novel ceramide analogs of formula (II) with an additional therapeutic agent.
摘要:
Some embodiments of the invention comprise methods, systems, and compositions to selectively induce, whether in vitro or in vivo, the neuronal differentiation of multipotent stromal cells through the application of microRNAs, including but not limited to miRNA-124, miRNA-137 and/or miRNA-9* expression products of those miRNAs, and molecules and compositions containing functional elements of those miRNAs. Some embodiments of the invention also comprise the therapeutic administration and use of such induced cells to treat mammalian injuries and diseases, including but not limited to, nervous system injuries or diseases that may otherwise result in decreased cell or system function.
