摘要:
The disclosure relates to treating muscle wasting-associated disorders in a patient, using a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist of Fbxo40, wherein the antagonist reduces the expression, level or activity of Fbxo40. The Fbxo40 antagonist increases muscle mass, or prevents, limits or reduces muscle mass loss, in the patient. The Fbxo40 antagonist can be a low molecular weight (LMW) compound, a protein, an antibody, or an inhibitory nucleic acid, such as a siRNA. The disclosure also relates to methods of screening for antagonists of Fbxo40, and methods of diagnosing or monitoring levels of muscle mass maintenance, loss or increase.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a combination comprising (a) RAD001, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) BEZ235, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for enhancement of an immune response; a pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination; a method of enhancing immune response in a subject comprising administration of said combination to a subject in need thereof; use of such combination for preparation of a medicament for the enhancement of an immune response; and a commercial package thereto.
摘要:
The invention relates, in part, to a method of treating a subject comprising administering to the subject a low, immune enhancing of a mTOR inhibitor and an immune effector cell engineered to express a CAR.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising anti-ActRIIB antibodies and use thereof for increasing brown fat in vertebrate, including rodents and primates, and particularly in humans without significantly affecting hematological parameters.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods, kits and compositions for preventing or treating age-related conditions or metabolic disorders. The Klotho fusion polypeptides of the invention include at least a Klotho protein or an active fragment thereof. In one embodiment, the fusion polypeptide comprises a Klotho polypeptide, a FGF (such as FGF23) and (optionally) a modified Fc fragment. The Fc fragment can, for example, have decreased binding to Fc-gamma-receptor and increased serum half-life. The Klotho fusion proteins are useful in the treatment and prevention of a variety of age-related conditions and metabolic disorders. In another embodiment, the fusion polypeptide comprises a FGF (such as FGF23) and a modified Fc fragment.
摘要:
The present invention introduces the notion of a route provider that efficiently and automatically helps and rewards drivers for traversing optimal driving routes. In particular, described is a technique for receiving one or more conditions and criteria associated with map directions over a computer network from a service bureau. The route provider or a third party may reward drivers for traversing preferred routes.
摘要:
The invention provides compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of a tumor antigen as described herein. The invention also relates to the methods of preconditioning a subject, e.g., by depleting B cells in combination with the use of a cell comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that targets a tumor antigen as described herein. The methods for preconditioning the subject described herein include using a cell comprising a CAR that targets a B cell antigen as described herein.
