| 20110280841 | Electroprocessing in Drug Delivery and Cell Encapsulation - The invention is directed to novel compositions comprising an electroprocessed material and a substance, their formation and use. The electroprocessed material can, for example, be one or more natural materials, one or more synthetic materials, or a combination thereof. The substance can be one or more therapeutic or cosmetic substances or other compounds, molecules, cells, vesicles. The compositions can be used in substance delivery, including drug delivery within an organism by, for example, releasing substances or containing cells that release substances. The compositions can be used for other purposes, such as prostheses or similar implants. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110183425 | Protein Complexes and Screening Methods - The application concerns an isolated protein complex comprising polypeptide components: (i) UTP20 HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (ii) PWP2 HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (iii) WDR46_HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (iv) UTP18 HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (v) MPPIO HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (vi) WDR3_HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (vii) TBL3 HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; (viii) WDR36_HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof; and (ix) N0C4L HUMAN or a fragment, variant or homologue thereof. The application further concerns a method of identifying an agent that modulates the amount, function, activity, composition and/or formation of said protein complex; a method for the prevention or treatment of an eye disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a suitable quantity of an agent that modulates the amount, function, activity, composition and/or formation of said protein complex; and a method of assessing whether a subject has or is likely to develop an eye disorder comprising determining whether the subject has an altered amount, function, activity, composition and/or formation of a protein complex. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110093211 | Method for Processing Protein Data - A method of generating data indicating whether a set of proteins is a protein complex. The method comprises receiving as input experimental data indicating experimentally observed relationships, each experimentally observed relationship being between a first protein and zero or more second proteins and generating data indicating whether the set of proteins is a protein complex. The experimental data is processed to determine a first data value indicating a number of proteins having a relationship with one or more second proteins and a second data value indicating a number of proteins having a relationship with a selected protein. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20090069623 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF RADIATION-INDUCED FIBROSIS - The present invention comprises methods and compositions for the treatment or prevention of radiation-induced fibrosis. Methods and compositions for the inhibition of CTGF are disclosed herein. Methods and compositions for treatment of neoplastic disease are disclosed herein. Inhibition of CTGF in humans or animals that have been exposed to ionizing radiation results in treatment or prevention of radiation-induced fibrosis. | 03-12-2009 |
