  • Method for identifying a modulator of cell survival or plasticity
    Patent number: 10822375
    Abstract: This invention provides novel compounds and methods for promoting cell survival and/or plasticity, especially in neuronal cells, by targeting the microtubule End Binding (EB) proteins and other associated proteins (e.g., drebrin). Methods for identifying potential modulators of cell death/plasticity are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2020
    Assignee: Ramot at Tel Aviv University, Ltd.
    Inventors: Illana Gozes, Saar Oz, Jacqueline Woang Cheing Tiong

  • Therapeutics based on tau/microtubule dynamics
    Patent number: 8377875
    Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery of a novel neuroprotective peptide. In addition, the invention rests on the discovery that the NAP peptide enhances the association of tau and the brain-specific beta tubulin subunit. In addition, NAP modifies microtubule assembly and dynamics, in part, by affecting the tyrosination of microtubule proteins. The invention provides compositions and methods for treatment and prevention of neuronal disorders, including NAP-binding and tau-binding agents, tau peptide mimetics, NAP-like and NAP-like tau peptide mimetics.
