Abstract:
Panels of mammalian cell samples, kits and methods of use thereof. The panels comprise samples or sets of samples of immortalized primary cells, obtained from different tissues and organs of healthy and/or diseased donors. The cell panels are useful in assays for testing effects of drug candidates, e.g. for activity and toxicity.

Abstract:
Methods for generating iPSCs and differentiated cells of interest by reprogramming donor cells that have been obtained in a non-invasive manner. In particular, the donor cells are exfoliated epithelial urine cells. The differentiated cells can be obtained by differentiation of the reprogrammed iPSCs or by direct reprogramming the urine cells.

Abstract:
Compositions of an inhibitor of a polynucleotide for use in treating or preventing bone disorders such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone fracture, bone cancer, as well as impaired bone homeostasis. Preferred compounds to be used in these medical interventions are antagonistic compounds, like nucleic acid molecules, directed against miR-31 and derivatives thereof. Also, methods for diagnosing and compositions for use in diagnosing bone disorders. Compounds to be employed in these diagnostic methods and uses include compounds such as miR-31.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to cell-regulatory proteins and to nucleotide sequences encoding said proteins wherein the proteins have been found to be potential tumor and/or senescense markers useful for medical diagnostics and additionally having therapeutical potential as well as antiapoptotic properties useful for improving cell viability in cell culture technology. The invention further relates to antibodies directed against the cell-regulatory proteins and to their use in medical diagnostics and therapy. The invention further relates to methods for the manufacture and application of the cell-regulatory proteins and of the corresponding nucleotide sequences.
