| 20100136522 | ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES UP-REGULATED IN PROSTATE CANCER - Human endogenous retroviruses of the HML-2 family show up-regulated expression in prostate tumors. This finding can be used in prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100158911 | Compositions and Methods of Treating Disease with FGFR Fusion Proteins - The invention provides FGFR fusion proteins, methods of making them, and methods of using them to treat proliferative disorders, including cancers and disorders of angiogenesis. The FGFR fusion molecules can be made in CHO cells and may comprise deletion mutations in the extracellular domains of the FGFRs which improve their stability. These fusion proteins inhibit the growth and viability of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The combination of the relatively high affinity of these receptors for their ligand FGFs and the demonstrated ability of these decoy receptors to inhibit tumor growth is an indication of the clinical value of the compositions and methods provided herein. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110020352 | ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES UP-REGULATED IN PROSTATE CANCER - Human endogenous retroviruses of the HML-2 family show up-regulated expression in prostate tumors. This finding can be used in prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy. | 01-27-2011 |
