20090191650	ANTIBODY SPECIFIC FOR MUTANT PRESENILIN 1 AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - The present invention describes the identification, isolation, cloning, and determination of the Alzheimer Related Membrane Protein (ARMP) gene on chromosome 14 and a related gene, E5-1, on chromosome 1. Normal and mutant copies of both genes are presented. Transcripts and products of these genes are useful in detecting and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, developing therapeutics for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, as well as the isolation and manufacture of the protein and the construction of transgenic animals expressing the mutant genes.	07-30-2009
20090076019	METHODS FOR TREATING NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS OR DAMAGE - A clonogenic neurosphere assay is described that carries out high throughput screens (HTS) to identify potent and/or selective modulators of proliferation, differentiation and/or renewal of neural precursor cells, neural progenitor cells and/or self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). Compositions comprising the identified modulators and methods of using the modulators and compositions, in particular to treat neurological disorders (e.g. brain or CNS cancer) or damage are also disclosed.	03-19-2009
