Abstract:
Compositions and methods useful for achieving therapeutic effects such as the prevention of vasoconstriction and improvement of the preservation and survival of a transplanted organ. More specifically, the compositions exhibit synergy and comprise amounts of two therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of BH4 and its precursors , on the one hand and membrane permeable cGMP analogues on the other.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the use of (i) a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP); or, (ii) a derivative of (i); or, (iii) a functional mimetic of (i) or (ii), in the preparation of a medicament for modulating CNS levels and/or activity of a member of the neprilysin family.
Abstract:
The present invention describes the use of discrete states and signatures for classifying cancer samples, preferably renal cell cancer samples.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to inhibitors of SSAT or AMD for the prevention or treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. 4-[(2E)-2-(4-carbamimidoylphenyl)iminohydrazino]-benzamidine (Diminazen) is preferred.
Abstract:
Provided are novel TDP-43 -specific binding molecules including polypeptides such as human antibodies, as well as fragments, derivatives and variants thereof. Also provided are methods related to these TDP-43 specific binding molecules. Assays, kits, and solid supports related to TDP-43 -specific binding molecules, including polypeptides such as, human antibodies are also disclosed. The TDP-43-specific binding molecule, antibody, immunoglobulin chain(s), as well as binding fragments, derivatives and variants thereof can be used in pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions for TDP-43 targeted immunotherapy and diagnosis, respectively.
Abstract:
This disclosure is in the field of Crohn's disease, in particular, it relates to the treatment of fistulas in Crohn's disease using anti -IL- 13 antibodies. The antibody may be an IgG and in particular may be the anti -IL- 13 antibody 0195i/G12.
Abstract:
The invention provides for inhibitors of HIV integrase, particularly raltegravir, for the treatment of FeLV in felidae, particularly in house cats.
Abstract:
Specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to HLA-B27 heavy-chain homodimers, termed HC-B27, HLA-B272 or B272, particularly recognizing B272 homodimers and which do not recognize or bind HLA-B27 heterotrimers (B27) including HLA-B27 heterotrimers with ß2 microglobulin and peptide. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of HLA-B27 mediated conditions, particularly those associated with B272, the spondylarthritides, a group of related diseases including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and reactive arthritis (ReA or Reiter's syndrome). The antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibodies HD4, HD5 and HD6 whose sequences are provided herein.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a method for the generation of a living cell based tissue engineered organ and/or tissue analogous structure having mechanical and/or functional properties comprising the steps of providing a organ and/or tissue, wherein the organ and/or tissue has the capacity of functioning or forming the native organ/tissue corresponding to the replacement; and wherein the tissue engineered organ and/or tissue analogous structure is made of/contains material incorporating cryoactive substances and/or particles. Furthermore the invention pertains to a scaffold for use in such a method, to a tissue engineered replacement structure made using this method, in particular in the form of a vessel and/or a heart valve.
Abstract:
Disclosed are virtual reality systems, in particular immersive virtual reality systems, their parts, construction and use. The systems and/or parts thereof may be used by adults or children, and may be adapted to support, often within a single device, a large range of users of different sizes and medical condition. Users with physical disabilities have difficulties using existing immersive technologies such as those using accessories like head-mounted displays and data gloves. Such users are provided with immersive virtual reality outputs that allow them to see virtual representations of their body parts which appear in a correct spatial position relative to the users' viewpoint.
