| 20120059042 | METHOD FOR EFFICIENT EXON (44) SKIPPING IN DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AND ASSOCIATED MEANS - The invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule that binds and/or is complementary to the nucleotide molecule having sequence 5′-GUGGCUAACAGAAGCU (SEQ ID NO 1) and to its use in a method for inducing skipping of exon 44 of the DMD gene in a DMD patient. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120022134 | METHODS AND MEANS FOR EFFICIENT SKIPPING OF EXON 45 IN DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY PRE-mRNA - The invention relates to a method for inducing or promoting skipping of exon 45 of DMD pre-mRNA in a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patient, preferably in an isolated (muscle) cell, the method comprising providing said cell with a molecule that binds to a continuous stretch of at least 21 nucleotides within said exon. The invention further relates to such molecule used in said method. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110312086 | MODULATION OF EXON RECOGNITION IN PRE-MRNA BY INTERFERING WITH THE SECONDARY RNA STRUCTURE - The invention provides a method for generating an oligonucleotide with which an exon may be skipped in a pre-mRNA and thus excluded from a produced mRNA thereof. Further provided are methods for altering the secondary structure of an mRNA to interfere with splicing processes and uses of the oligonucleotides and methods in the treatment of disease. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods and means for inducing skipping of several exons in a pre-mRNA. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110294753 | Means and methods for counteracting muscle disorders - The invention provides means and methods for alleviating one or more symptom(s) of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and/or Becker Muscular Dystrophy. Therapies using compounds for providing patients with functional muscle proteins are combined with at least one adjunct compound for reducing inflammation, preferably for reducing muscle tissue inflammation, and/or at least one adjunct compound for improving muscle fiber function, integrity and/or survival. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110263682 | METHODS AND MEANS FOR EFFICIENT SKIPPING OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING EXONS OF THE HUMAN DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY GENE: 43, 46, 50-53 - The invention relates a method wherein a molecule is used for inducing and/or promoting skipping of at least one of exon 43, exon 46, exons 50-53 of the DMD pre-mRNA in a patient, preferably in an isolated cell of a patient, the method comprising providing said cell and/or said patient with a molecule. The invention also relates to said molecule as such. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20100323905 | Vhh for the Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Diseases Associated with Protein Aggregates - The present invention provides heavy chain variable domain antibodies (VHH) for preventing and/or dissolving aggregates. VHH of the invention are preferably used in the treatment of human diseases that are associated with the formation of aggregates in the body. The invention further provides, among others, means and methods for selecting and using VHH. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20090318345 | MEANS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING STEM CELL MOBILIZATION - Mobilization of stem cells in individuals is currently used in methods for their collection and in methods for therapeutically intervening in disease processes in the human body. The present invention provides means and methods for increasing numbers of mobilized stem cells and provides uses therefore. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20080249022 | Antimicrobial Peptides Derived From Cap18 - The present invention relates to a group of peptidic compounds which have antimicrobial activity. The compounds also have affinity for toxins and especially for bacterial toxins, such as lipopolysaccharide or lipoteichoic acid. The compounds can be used to manufacture medicaments useful for the treatment of bacterial or fungal infections. The medicaments may be administered systemically or locally. | 10-09-2008 |
