Abstract:
A presente divulgação descreve um método para a edição do genoma de células estaminais, assim como uma cassete genética que compreende pelo menos um promotor, um marcador, e um nulómero, em que o marcador compreende pelo menos um gene codificador de uma proteína de fluorescência, de resistência a antibiótico, de sensibilidade a drogas, ou suas combinações; e em que o nulómero é clivável por pelo menos um sistema de nucleases de edição genómica, de preferência o sistema de repetições palindrómicas curtas agrupadas e regularmente interespaçadas, o dedo de zinco, nucleases efetoras semelhantes a ativadores de transcrição (TALENs), ou as suas misturas.
Abstract:
Therapeutic Agents, Pharmaceutical Compositions, and Associated Biomarkers The invention relates to the identification of pharmaceutical compositions, therapeutic agents, peptides, nucleic acids, genetic constructs, vectors, cells, and medicaments, and their use in methods of treatment. For example, the treatment of neuropathological conditions, in particular Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, provided herein are biomarkers, methods for their use, methods of diagnosis, methods of monitoring disease progression, and methods for monitoring medicament efficacy, in particular for Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of inhibitors of scavenger receptor class proteins, in particular ScarB1 for the production of a medicament for treatment of and/or prophylaxis against infections, involving liver cells and/or hematopoietic cells, in particular malaria.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of inhibitors of host kinases for the production of a medicament for therapy of and/or prophylaxis against infections, involving liver cells and/or hematopoietic cells, in particular malaria.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): AA1-AA2-D-Ile-AA3-D-Met-D-Tyr-D-Ala-D-Tyr-D-Val-D-Ala-Gly-D-Ile-D-Leu-D-Lys-D-Arg-D-Trp-NH2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to processes for their obtention and to their therapeutic indications.
Abstract:
The present invention in various aspects and embodiments involves the use of CO releasing molecules, such as conjugates comprising tumour-selective ligands and groups capable of releasing carbon monoxide (CO), for exerting immunomodulatory effects in cancer treatment, such as reductions in the expression of immune checkpoint molecules and the level of inhibitory macrophages. This can reduce immunosuppression in tumour tissue and can be useful, for example, in the treatment of immunosuppressive cancers or the treatment of cancers in combination with cancer immunotherapy.
Abstract:
The present inventors have discovered a protease-resistant peptide fragment (termed pepRF1) of the Dengue virus capsid protein that is a potent antagonist of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). This peptide fragment may be useful, for example, in the treatment of CXCR4 mediated conditions, such as HIV and cancer. Thus, the present invention relates to a pepRF1 peptide consisting of the amino acid 10 sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3. The pepRF1 peptide may consist of residues 66 to 82 of the capsid protein of Dengue virus 2, 1 or 3; or residues 65 to 81 of the Dengue virus 2 capsid protein; or the corresponding residues in another Dengue virus capsid protein. For example, the pepRF1 peptide may consist of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 10 to 14.
