Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to promote a blood vessel normalization and treat a disease (e.g., cancer) in a subject in need thereof, e.g., by promoting a blood vessel normalization.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, the antibodies specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and modulate FAM19A5 activity, e.g., inhibit, suppress, reduce, or reverse the onset of reactive gliosis and/or excessive proliferation of reactive astrocytes, utilizing such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as central nervous system damage, a degenerative brain disorder, or a neuropathic pain, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human FAM19A5.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of diagnosing a mood disorder in a subject comprising measuring serum FAM19A5 concentration with an antagonist (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) that specifically binds to FAM19A5. The present disclosure also relates to a method of treating a mood disorder in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an FAM19A5 antagonist.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical use of FAM19A5 involved in regulating gliogenesis, and more specifically, to the use of FAM19A5 in the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of central nervous system injuries, degenerative brain diseases, or central nervous system diseases, FAM19A5 being spread in the neural stem cells in vertebrates and regulating gliogenesis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to spexin-based agonists specific for galanin receptor type 2 and use thereof. More specifically, the present invention provides peptide-based agonists with high specificity for galanin receptor type 2 and improved stability. The peptide-based agonists are involved in the regulation of in vivo physiological functions, such as food intake, anxiety, emotion, and addiction, for which galanin receptors type 2 is responsible, to effectively suppress appetite, help recover from anxiety disorder, and reduce pleasure addiction. Therefore, the peptide-based agonists can be used to prevent or treat galanin receptor type 2-mediated diseases.
