Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating a neurological disease such as ALS in a subject by administering to the subject an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155. The invention also provides methods for treating neuroinflammation by administering an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of immune-related disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to oral or mucosal synergistic compositions combining beta-glycolipids, preferably, ?-glycosphin-golipids with immunoglobulin molecules specific for at least one antigen derived from a component of the immune system, specifically an anti-CD3 antibody. The invention further provides methods kits and uses of the combined compositions of the invention for immune-modulation and thereby for the treatment of immune-related disorders. In a preferred embodiment, anti-CD3 antibody (OKT3) is orally administered in combination with ?-glucosylceramide (also known as glycocerebroside) in an animal model of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of immune-related disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to oral or mucosal synergistic compositions combining beta-glycolipids, preferably, ?-glycosphingolipids with immunoglobulin molecules specific for at least one antigen derived from a component of the immune system, specifically an anti-CD3 antibody. The invention further provides methods kits and uses of the combined compositions of the invention for immuno-modulation and thereby for the treatment of immune-related disorders. In a preferred embodiment, anti-CD3 anti-body (OKT3) is orally administered in combination with ?-glucosylceramide (also known as glycocerebroside) in an animal model of type 2 diabetes.
