| 20090286854 | APTAMERS DIRECTED TO MUCI - Aptamers against the glycosylated form of MUC1 are described, along with their use in treatment and diagnosis of conditions associated with elevated production of MUC1. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090221513 | Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders - Peptides having the sequence D-Arg-L-Glu-L-Arg, or the sequence L-Arg-D-Glu-L-Arg and derivatives thereof, are disclosed. Such peptides are useful in treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, and as cognitive enhancers. Preferred peptides include a protective group. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090221022 | Three Dimensional Cell Culture - A method for culturing preadipocytes isolated ex vivo is described, the method including introducing preadipocytes into a three dimensional support matrix, and allowing the cells to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes within the support matrix. The matrix may be a collagen matrix. The method may be used for investigating the development of stem cells, or for investigating the response of adipocytes to stimuli. The method provides a system whereby adipocytes with biological properties resembling those in vivo can be grown in vitro. | 09-03-2009 |
