20140369978 | GDF-5 MUTANT FOR INDUCING CARTILAGE FORMATION - The present invention is directed to GDF-5 related proteins having an improved capability of inducing cartilage formation and a reduced capability of inducing bone formation. The novel proteins are particularly useful in the treatment of cartilage defects, wherein the formation of bone tissue is undesirable. | 12-18-2014 |
20140141050 | BIORESORBABLE WOUND DRESSING - The present invention is directed to novel non-woven fabrics containing growth and differentiation factor proteins. Said fabrics are specifically designed to accelerate tissue regeneration and wound healing processes of mammalian tissues. Furthermore, the invention provides wound dressings, pads or implants comprising the novel non-woven fabrics. | 05-22-2014 |
20130309221 | HUMAN GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR GDF-5 - This invention relates to the production and use of pharmaceutical growth factor compositions with novel characteristics, e.g. improved solubility and controlled release characteristics under physiological conditions. Said compositions of one or more precursor proteins of growth factors of the GDF family provoke morphogenic effects such as for example growth, differentiation, protection and regeneration of a variety of tissues and organs, e.g. bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nerves and skin. The invention can be advantageously used for the healing of tissue-destructive injuries and for the prevention or therapy of degenerative disorders. | 11-21-2013 |
20100074959 | LIPID GROWTH FACTOR FORMULATIONS - The present invention is directed to novel formulations and methods for the improved delivery and administration of hydrophobic therapeutic compounds that are substantially insoluble and/or susceptible to precipitation in aqueous solution at physiological pH, including, e.g., growth and differentiation factor-5 and related proteins. Many therapeutic compounds are hydrophobic at physiological pH levels. | 03-25-2010 |
20100047299 | USE OF GDF-5 FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF DERMAL APPEARANCE - The present invention is directed to novel methods and compositions containing growth factor proteins. Said compositions are specifically designed to optimize the amount of crucial structural elements of mammalian tissues. The invention is especially useful for the preservation and improvement of dermal tissue appearance. | 02-25-2010 |
