| 20120128585 | Method of Diagnosing the presence of a tumor in a mammal by assessing CDO expression level - The present invention provides for a method of using BOC/CDO hedgehog antagonists to inhibit hedgehog signaling, as well as treating and diagnosing disorders relating to hedgehog signaling or overexpression of hedgehog, including cancer, cell proliferative disorders, and angiogenesis, neurological disorders, as well as other conditions affected by hedgehog signaling such as hair growth, neural stem cell differentiation, chondrogenesis and osteogenesis, lung surfactant production, formation of lamellated bodies in lung cells. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110076286 | METHODS OF INHIBITING UNWANTED CELL PROLIFERATION USING HEDGEHOG ANTAGONISTS - The present application is directed to compositions and methods for inhibiting angiogenesis and treating or preventing unwanted cell proliferation, including tumors, by inhibiting the hedgehog pathway, e.g., with an antagonist of the hedgehog pathway such as those disclosed herein. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110008333 | METHODS OF INHIBITING UNWANTED CELL PROLIFERATION USING HEDGEHOG ANTAGONISTS - The present application is directed to compositions and methods for inhibiting angiogenesis and treating or preventing unwanted cell proliferation, including tumors, by inhibiting the hedgehog pathway, e.g., with an antagonist of the hedgehog pathway such as those disclosed herein. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20100183560 | Angiogenesis-modulating compositions and uses - Hedgehog agonists and antagonists can be used to regulate angiogenesis, and have utility in treating tissue repair and cancer, and to prevent angiogenesis driven pathologies. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100144616 | Neuroprotective methods and reagents - One aspect of the present application relates to a method for limiting damage to neuronal cells by ischemic or epoxic conditions, e.g., such as may be manifest by a reduction in brain infarct volume, by administering to an individual a hedgehog therapeutic or ptc therapeutic in an amount effective for reducing cerebral infarct volume. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100137394 | PYRAZOLE INHIBITORS OF WNT SIGNALING - The invention provides inhibitors of Wnt signaling that are useful as a therapeutic agents for treating malignancies where the compounds have the general formula I: wherein R1 to R7 and Z are as defined herein. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20090054632 | Hydrophobically-modified protein compositions and methods - Hydrophobically-modified proteins and methods of making them are described. A hydrophobic moiety is attached to a surface amino acid residue of the protein. The hydrophobic moiety can be a lipid or a peptide. Alternatively, the protein can be derivatized by a wide variety of chemical reactions that append a hydrophobic structure to the protein. The preferred protein is of mammalian origin and is selected from the group consisting of Sonic, Indian, and Desert hedgehog. The hydrophobic moiety is used as a convenient tether to which may be attached a vesicle such as a cell membrane, liposome, or micelle. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090012082 | Mediators of Hedgehog Signaling Pathways, Compositions and Uses Related Thereto - The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20080207740 | Small organic molecule regulators of cell proliferation - The present invention makes available methods and reagents for modulating proliferation or differentiation in a cell or tissue comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog agonist, such as the compounds depicted in FIGS. | 08-28-2008 |
