20150307846 | GROWTH FACTOR COCKTAIL TO ENHANCE OSTEOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF MESENCHYMAL CELLS - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for osteogenic differentiation of human periosteum derived cells, in particular using a growth medium containing a specific combination of growth factors and formulations thereof. The invention also relates to the differentiated cells and cell populations, as well as further products comprising such cells and uses thereof in bone therapy. | 10-29-2015 |
20130146854 | PHOSPHORESCENT SMALL MOLECULES THAT ARE BONDED TO INORGANIC NANOCRYSTAL HOST FOR ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A first device comprising a first organic light emitting device (OLED) is described. The first OLED includes an anode, it cathode and an emissive layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The emissive layer includes a phosphorescent emissive dopant and a host material, that includes nanocrystals. The phosphorescent emissive dopant is bonded to the host material by a bridge moiety. | 06-13-2013 |
20120122834 | SMALL MOLECULE CD4 MIMETICS AND USES THEREOF - The invention provides for compounds of formula I: wherein Z is absent or (CR | 05-17-2012 |
20100304996 | B CELL SIGNATURE ASSOCIATED WITH TOLERANCE IN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS - The present invention provides methods for predicting the development of tolerance to a transplant, such as a kidney, using molecular markers that have different expression patterns in tolerant transplant recipients, as compared to non-tolerant or healthy, non-recipient controls. | 12-02-2010 |
20090324049 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING CANCER RISK - Methods and systems for determining a probabilistic assessment of a person developing cancer are disclosed. The probabilistic assessment may include receiving a digital breast image of a person, selecting a region of interest within the received breast image, and analyzing this selected region of interest with respect to texture analysis. A probabilistic assessment may then be determined through the use of a logistic regression model based on the texture analysis within the region of interest and personal risk factors. A probabilistic assessment may also be determined through the use of a linear regression model based on the texture analysis within the region of interest and a known cancer indicator or risk factor. | 12-31-2009 |
20090036479 | METHOD OF INHIBITING CHOROIDAL NEOVASCUARIZATION - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting unwanted angiogenesis, particularly those of ocular tissues. The treatment, inhibition, and/or prevention of choroidal neovasculature (CNV) is provided, along with an animal model for CNV and imaging techniques that permit the screening of potential agents as anti-angiogenesis and anti-CNV agents. | 02-05-2009 |
20080305140 | Long-Term Delivery Formulations and Methods of Use Thereof - The present invention provides a method, a kit and compositions for long-term release of a drug at a constant therapeutically effective level for nervous system disorders where adherence to therapeutic regimen is problematic. In particular, to the therapy of psychotic disorders. | 12-11-2008 |
20080213216 | Methods of stimulating phagocytosis - The present invention relates, in general, to methods of stimulating phagocytosis and thereby combating infection and/or modulating immune complex disease, in particular, to methods of modulating the number and type of Fc receptors present on cells that normally possess such receptors, including monocytes and macrophages, as well as on cells that normally do not possess Fc receptors, such as fibroblasts, and to compounds and compositions suitable for use in such methods. | 09-04-2008 |
