20130101582 | Tiki1 and Tiki2, Wnt Inhibitors - This invention relates to Tiki1 and Tiki2 proteins and nucleic acids, cells expressing the same, and methods for identifying compounds that modulate Tiki1/2 activity for use in the treatment of osteoporosis or cellular proliferative disorders. | 04-25-2013 |
20130123228 | PROMOTING AXON REGENERATION IN THE ADULT CNS THROUGH CONTROL OF PROTEIN TRANSLATION - Survival of, or axon regeneration in a lesioned mature central nervous system (CNS) neuron is promoted by (a) contacting the neuron with a therapeutically effective amount of an exogenous activator of protein translation; and (b) detecting the resultant promotion of the survival of, or axon regeneration in the neuron. | 05-16-2013 |
20130144652 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING MEDICAL RECORD COMPLEXITY AND RISK OF ADVERSE EVENTS - Methods and apparatus for analyzing an electronic medical record (EMR) are provided. The method includes assigning to at least one document in the EMR, a first value, wherein the assigning is based, at least in part, on a number of characters and/or a number of digits included in each document of the at least one document, determining a second value, wherein the second value is determined based, at least in part, on the first values, determining whether the second value is above a threshold value, and outputting an indication that the second value is above the threshold value. The second value may be used for applications including, but not limited to, determining a risk of a patient associated with the EMR having an adverse event, being readmitted to a hospital, or being transferred to an intensive care unit, facilitating workload balancing, and providing documentation to a payer of healthcare services. | 06-06-2013 |
20130177912 | SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF 5-METHYLCYTOSINE BY TET-FAMILY PROTEINS - The present invention provides for novel methods for regulating and detecting the cytosine methylation status of DNA. The invention is based upon identification of a novel and surprising catalytic activity for the family of TET proteins, namely TET1, TET2, TET3, and CXXC4. The novel activity is related to the enzymes being capable of converting the cytosine nucleotide 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by hydroxylation. | 07-11-2013 |
20130189783 | METHODS OF MODULATING ANGIOGENESIS VIA TRPV4 - The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting capillary endothelial (CE) cell migration, the formation of CE networks and angiogenesis, and uses thereof for the purpose of treating angiogenesis-related diseases and disorders, particularly when the diseases or disorders are directly related aberrant angiogenesis. Inhibition is achieved by inhibiting TRPV4 activity, such as the levels of TRPV4 expression, calcium influx through TRPV4, and/or the intracellular signaling from TRPV4 via β1 integrin activation. | 07-25-2013 |

20130209423 | METHODS FOR PROMOTING HEMATOPOIETIC RECONSTITUTION - The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating hematopoetic stem cell populations by using HCS modulators, which are agents that either increase HSC numbers or decrease HSC numbers as desired by a particular indication. For example, HSC modulators found to increase HSC numbers include prostaglandin E | 08-15-2013 |
20130209424 | COMPOSITIONS FOR PROMOTING HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL GROWTH - The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating hematopoetic stem cell populations by using HCS modulators, which are agents that either increase HSC numbers or decrease HSC numbers as desired by a particular indication. For example, HSC modulators found to increase HSC numbers include prostaglandin E | 08-15-2013 |
20130216507 | METHODS FOR PROMOTING HSC ENGRAFTMENT - The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating hematopoetic stem cell populations by using HCS modulators, which are agents that either increase HSC numbers or decrease HSC numbers as desired by a particular indication. For example, HSC modulators found to increase HSC numbers include prostaglandin E | 08-22-2013 |
20130338424 | TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (TMS) METHODS AND APPARATUS - Method and devices are provided for treating subjects with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). According to some approaches, the methods and devices are configured for the treatment of ongoing seizures. Other approaches relate to the use of TMS as an antiepileptogenic or for use in determining preferential placement of intracranial probes. | 12-19-2013 |
20140106378 | METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF EPITHELIAL CANCERS - The present invention is based on the discovery that three proteins, Cystatin B, Chaperonin 10, and Profilin are present in the urine of patients with bladder cancer, a cancer of epithelial origin. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to methods for prognostic evaluation of cancers of epithelial origin and to methods for facilitating diagnosis of cancers of epithelial origin by monitoring the presence of these markers in biological samples. The invention is also directed to markers for therapeutic efficacy. | 04-17-2014 |
