Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110272211PAINT ROLLER TRAY MOUNTING DEVICE - A paint roller tray mounting device includes a platform that has a width sized to fit between first and second side rung supports of a ladder, a length sufficient to support a paint roller tray. The platform has a recess in an upper surface sized and shaped to provide a gripping surface for a ladder rung. At least two securing hooks have a hooking end and an attaching end. The hooks are symmetrically attached at the attaching end adjacent opposite edges of the platform. The hooks extend from at least a lower surface of the platform to a surrounding upper edge of the paint roller tray. The hooks have a tightening device for urging the tray and the platform together. The platform is located beneath the ladder rung or a top shelf of a step ladder. The paint roller tray is located above either the rung or the top shelf.11-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080255059Regulators of the hedgehog pathway, compositions and uses related thereto - The present invention makes available, inter alia, methods and reagents for modulating smoothened-dependent pathway activation. In certain embodiments, the subject methods can be used to counteract the phenotypic effects of unwanted activation of a hedgehog pathway, such as resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function mutations.10-16-2008
20100273818INHIBITORS OF HEDGEHOG SIGNALING PATHWAYS, COMPOSITIONS AND USES RELATED THERETO - The present invention makes availables assays and reagents inhibiting paracrine and/or autocrine signals produced by a hedgehog protein or aberrant activation of a hedgehog signal transduction pathway, e.g., which involve the use of a steroidal alkaloid or other small molecule.10-28-2010

20090203713Hedgehog pathway antagonists to treat disease - Compounds, compositions, kits and methods for modulating hedgehog pathway activity, and treating conditions related to abnormal or aberrant hedgehog pathway activity, are disclosed.08-13-2009
20100080855HEDGEHOG SIGNALING AND CANCER STEM CELLS IN HEMATOPOIETIC CELL MALIGNANCIES - The present disclosure relates generally to methods of treating hematopoietic cell malignancy in a subject by administering to the subject a Hedgehog (Hh) pathway antagonist, such as a Smoothen (Smo) antagonist alone or in combination with an ABL-kinase antagonist. Specifically, the disclosure relates to a method of treating hematopoietic cell malignancy in a subject by administering the Hh pathway antagonist, such as the Smo antagonist cyclopamine, in combination with the ABL-kinase antagonist imatinib.04-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090186029Antibodies that specifically bind hedgehog-derived polypeptides - The present invention provides two novel polypeptides, referred to as the “N” and “C” fragments of hedgehog, or N-terminal and C-terminal fragments, respectively, which are derived after specific cleavage at a G′CF site recognized by the autoproteolytic domain in the native protein. Also included are sterol-modified hedgehog polypeptides and functional fragments thereof. Methods of identifying compositions which affect hedgehog activity based on inhibition of cholesterol modification of hedgehog protein are described.07-23-2009

20100069386Modulators of Hedgehog Signaling Pathways, Compositions and Uses Related Thereto - The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting form hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity. Such methods and reagents may also inhibit the hedgehog pathway in normal cells, e.g., where normal levels of hedgehog signalling are unwanted.03-18-2010

20090130091COMPOUNDS FOR HEDGEHOG PATHWAY BLOCKADE IN PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS, INCLUDING HEMATOPOIETIC MALIGNANCIES - Elevated Hedgehog (Hh) pathway activity, including ligand stimulated Hh pathway activity, was detected in hematopoietic malignancy cells, and determined to be associated with growth and proliferation of the malignancy cells. Accordingly, methods are provided for treating a hematopoietic cell malignancy associated with elevated Hh pathway activity by reducing or inhibiting the Hh pathway activity. Also provided are methods of determining the responsiveness of a hematopoietic cell malignancy to treatment with an Hh pathway antagonist.05-21-2009
