Abstract:
The present invention is directed to use of a series of compounds and compositions comprising the same for activating telomerase and treating diseases, disorders and/or conditions related thereto.
Abstract:
The present invention provides new ceramide analogs indicated as the compounds of formula (II). These novel analogs exhibit a significant anti cancerous effect and are therefore provided as a pharmaceutical composition for treating cell proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolism-associated conditions, infectious diseases, and immune-related disorders. The invention further provides combined compositions and kits combining the novel ceramide analogs of formula (II) with an additional therapeutic agent.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the use of a Cannabidiol (CBD) compound for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment as well as for the prevention of at least one fundamental parameter affecting a vascular system selected from (a) the cardiovascular system; (b) the peripheral vascular system; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); as well as pharmaceutical compositions and therapeutic methods for treating the above. A fundamental parameter may include blood/plasma lipid profile; atherosclerosis plaque load; size of heart scar; thickness of heart scar; and cardiac function in general. In accordance with a preferred embodiment the invention concerns treatment of heart scars as well as the preventing the formation of heart scars.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition for attenuating neovasculatization and treating human malignancies, including a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), wherein R1 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro, benzo, lower alkyl, phenyl and lower alkoxy; R2 is a member of the group consisting of hydroxy, acetoxy and lower alkoxy; and R3 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkenoxy-carbonyl; as active ingredient therein, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Abstract:
Immunotherapeutic Monoclonal Antibody Complexes or Conjugates (IMAC) comprising readily accessible antibodies designed and approved for clinical use are provided using a one- step method that combines killing of existing cancer cells in parallel with induction of long-lasting anti- cancer vaccination. Methods for their use, alone or in combination with cancer killer cells including intentionally mismatched donor T cells, NK cells concomitantly with additional anti-cancer or immune activating agents, or activation of patient's own immune system for personalized treatment of cancer and elimination of undesirable non-malignant cells are also provided. In addition, treatment method based on IMAC can be applied for in vivo vaccination against cancer using an existing malignant lesion as internal anti-cancer vaccine by engagement of patient's antigen presenting cells for induction of long-lasting anti-cancer vaccination in situ against residual or recurrent disease.
Abstract:
A method of treating cancer in an immune-privileged site of a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprises systemically administering to an area outside the immune-privileged site of the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of naive, viable cells of a tumor of the subject, the tumor being in the immune-privileged site so as to generate an immune response in the subject, thereby treating the cancer in the immune-privileged site of the subject.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to tri-phenyl compounds that enhance the amplification of a nucleic acid of interest in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, kits comprising the same and applications thereof.

Abstract:
The present invention features methods for conditioning patients prior to allegeneic stem cell transplantation. A first method involves treating a patient with a lymphoablative regimen that retiains a functional population of the patient's hematopoietic stem cells. A second method involves treating a patient with a myeloablative regimen that, conversely, retains a functional population of the patient's T lymphocyte population. In both methods, the patient is administered a donor-derived stem cell preparation after the conditioning regime to induce host anti-donor unresponsiveness. The patient may also be administered allogeneic cell therapy. The invention also features a method of making a patient-specific allogeneic stem cell preparation.
