| 20120094864 | EXTRACELLULAR ALLOSTERIC INHIBITOR BINDING DOMAIN FROM A TYROSINE KINASE RECEPTOR - The present invention relates to an extracellular binding domain for an allosteric inhibitor, whereby said binding domain is derived from a single membrane span tyrosine kinase receptor. More specifically, the invention relates to an extracellular domain derived from a Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR). It further relates to the use of this domain for the identification of similar domains in the extracellular part of other tyrosine kinase receptors, and to a screening method for identification of a small compound allosteric inhibitor. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120022135 | PHD2 INHIBITION FOR BLOOD VESSEL NORMALIZATION, AND USES THEREOF - A key function of blood vessels, to supply oxygen, is impaired in tumors because of abnormalities in their endothelial lining. PHD proteins serve as oxygen sensors and may regulate oxygen delivery. Therefore the role of endothelial PHD2 in vessel shaping by implanting tumors in PHD2 | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110250209 | INHIBITION OF PLGF TO TREAT PHILADELPHIA CHROMOSOME POSITIVE LEUKEMIA - The present application relates to the field of leukemias, and more in particular to how P1 GF inhibition can help to treat Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) leukemias. Methods are provided for treating Ph+ leukemias by administering P1 GF inhibitors. Also disclosed are uses of P1 GF inhibitors in the treatment of Ph+ leukemias, or for the preparation of a medicament against Ph+ leukemias. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110184049 | LIVER-SPECIFIC NUCLEIC ACID REGULATORY ELEMENTS AND METHODS AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to nucleic acid regulatory elements that are able to enhance liver-specific expression of genes, methods employing these regulatory elements and uses of these elements. Expression cassettes and vectors containing these nucleic acid regulatory elements are also disclosed. The present invention is particularly useful for applications using gene therapy. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110071085 | USE OF SURVIVIN TO TREAT KIDNEY FAILURE - The present invention relates generally to methods of for the prevention and treatment for renal disease. In particular, the invention relates to methods of prevention and treatment of mammals, including humans, which are at risk of developing renal failure. This is generally in the field of treatment or prevention of acute renal failure by administration of the anti-apoptotic molecule survivin. The invention also includes the treatment of kidney transplants (renal allografts) to prolong survival of the graft during cold ischemia and immediately after transplantation. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20100322967 | B CELL TOLERANCE INDUCTION - The present invention relates to the induction of immune tolerance, by a novel method of induction of IL-10 production in B cells, whereby said B cells can be loaded with antigen before, during or after the induction of the IL-10 production. More specifically, the invention relates to the transduction of the B cell with a retroviral vector encoding an antigen, whereby the retroviral envelop induces IL-10 production in the B cell by activation the TLR2 receptor, in combination with its viral receptor. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100152116 | Treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - The present invention relates to the treatment of motoneuron diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is found that the intracerebroventricular delivery of low amounts of vascular endothelial growth factor into a pre-clinical ALS animal model induces a significant motor performance and prolongation of survival time of the animals. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20090047294 | Inhibitors of prolyl-hydroxylase 1 for the treatment of skeletal muscle degeneration - The invention relates to the field of muscle pathologies, more particularly to the field of diseases where skeletal muscle degeneration occurs. The invention describes transgenic mice that do not produce prolyl-hydroxylase-1, -2 or -3. It is revealed that the phenotype of the prolyl-hydroxylase 1 knock-out mouse is characterized by a protection of skeletal muscle atrophy due to a variety of muscle damages, especially ischemic insults. The invention thus relates to the use of molecules that can bind to prolyl-hydroxylase-1 for the prevention and/or treatment of skeletal muscle degeneration. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20080206254 | Novel Anti-Factor VIII Antibodies - The present invention relates to new antibodies and fragments and derivatives thereof, which are particularly suited for the characterization of the structure and function of Factor VIII (FVIII) of the coagulation pathway, for the design of therapeutic strategies for eradication of FVIII inhibitors and for the use as a medicament The invention also relates to cell lines producing the specific antibodies. The present invention furthermore relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies, fragments and/or derivatives of the Invention and to methods of preventing and treating cardiovascular disorders by using the antibodies or fragments and derivatives thereof or pharmaceutical compositions thereof. | 08-28-2008 |
