摘要:
The present invention provides, inter alia, compositions and methods for treating various diseases and disorders in a mammal by administering to a mammal in need an effective amount of a composition comprising a non-DNA small molecule that binds WRN, such as members of the spirooxindole (SPOX) class.
摘要:
The use of modulators of WRN is described. Activators of WRN may be used to induce growth arrest, apoptosis or proliferative senescence, whereas inhibitors of WRN may be used to reduce growth arrest, apoptosis or proliferative senescence. Methods of identifying modulators of WRN are also described.
摘要:
Alterations in the structure of telomeres lead to modulation in the redox state of the cell. Substances which mimic destabilized telomeres, such as t-oligos, have a protective effect on future exposure of a cell to oxidative stress.
摘要:
Described are methods for treating hyperproliferative disorders, including cancers, by administering to the affected mammal (e.g., human) an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more oligonucleotides which share at least 33% but less than 100% nucleotide sequence identity with the human telomere overhang repeat. Methods of treatment or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases or pre-cancerous conditions affecting epithelial cells, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or hyperproliferative diseases of other epithelia and methods for reducing photoaging, or oxidative stress or for prophylaxis against or reduction in the likelihood of the development of skin cancer, are also disclosed. The compositions and methods are also useful for treating other cancers, such as for example pancreatic cancer and eradicating cancer stem cells.

The compositions and methods are also useful to treating other cancers.
摘要:
Methods to control, or manipulate, melanocyte and keratinocyte cell death are disclosed. In particular, a method of preventing epidermal melanocyte cell loss due to injury in a vertebrate is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of inducing hair growth in a vertebrate, a method of inducing hair color in a vertebrate, a method of inducing skin color in a vertebrate, a method of treating baldness in an individual, and a method of treating alopecia areata in an individual.
摘要:
Described are methods for treating hyperproliferative disorders, including cancers, by administering to the affected mammal (e.g., human) an effective amount of a composition comprising pTT or a composition comprising one or more oligonucleotides which share at least 50% nucleotide sequence identity with the human telomere overhang repeat. Methods of treatment or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases or pre-cancerous conditions affecting epithelial cells, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or hyperproliferative or UV-responsive dermatoses, hyperproliferative diseases of other epithelia and methods for reducing photoaging, or oxidative stress or for prophylaxis against or reduction in the likelihood of the development of skin cancer, are also disclosed.
