    摘要: A method is disclosed for providing a correcting factor for the dilution of measurements of at least one biomarker in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The method comprises providing semi-automated measurements of the ventricular system by MRI scans using quantitative anatomical protocols, determining a measurement of biomarker levels in CSF that has been extracted, correcting the measurement of the level of said at least one biomarker'according to the ventricular size, and providing a corrected result of the measurement determined in step (b), said corrected result accounting for concentration dilution due to the change in ventricular size. The method is particularly suited for the measurement of all biomarkers found in the CSF, such as those associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease.

    摘要: A method for treatment of a disease or condition in an organism characterized by an abnormal level of interaction between a BLM domain and its natural binding partner is described. The disease or condition may also be characterized by an abnormality in a signal transduction pathway, wherein the pathway contains a protein with a BLM domain. The method includes disrupting or promoting that interaction (or signal) in vivo. The method also involves inhibiting the activity of the complex formed between the BLM domain-containing protein and its natural binding partner. A method for diagnosis of such a disease or condition by detecting the level of such interaction as an indication of that disease or condition is also described. Also, a method for screening for an agent useful for treatment of such a disease or condition by assaying potential agents for the ability to disrupt or promote that interaction is described. The invention also features a peptide comprising, consisting or consisting essentially of a BLM domain.

    摘要: A novel serine/threonine phosphatase, FIN13, which includes a collagen-homology domain, an acidic box domain, a catalytic domain, and a putative nuclear translocation sequence. The present invention further relates to the modulation of cellular proliferation, by regulating the activity of the novel serine/threonine phosphatase. Thus, the invention provides the phosphatase, nucleic acids encoding the phosphatase, oligonucleotides specific for such nucleic acids, antibodies to the phosphatase, and methods for increasing (or decreasing) the activity of the phosphatase to inhibit (or enhance) cellular proliferation and, thus, tissue growth. Various diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the invention particularly relate to detection and treatment of hyperproliferative disorders, neoplasms, and tumors. In specific examples, FIN13 is expressed in proliferating cells, notably gern cells of the testes. Increased levels of expression of FIN13 in transfected cells results in a decrease in the cell growth rate.
