Abstract: A method of generating a population of cells useful for treating a brain disorder in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises contacting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with at least one exogenous miRNA having a nucleic acid sequence at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 15-19 and 27-35, thereby generating the population of cells and/or generating neurotrophic factors that may provide important signals to damaged tissues or locally residing stem cells. MSCs differentiated by miRs may also secrete miRs and deliver them to adjacent cells and therefore provide important signals to neighboring endogenous normal or malignant cells.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention comprise methods, systems, and compositions to selectively induce, whether in vitro or in vivo, the neuronal differentiation of multipotent stromal cells through the application of microRNAs, including but not limited to miRNA-124, miRNA-137 and/or miRNA-9* expression products of those miRNAs, and molecules and compositions containing functional elements of those miRNAs. Some embodiments of the invention also comprise the therapeutic administration and use of such induced cells to treat mammalian injuries and diseases, including but not limited to, nervous system injuries or diseases that may otherwise result in decreased cell or system function.

Abstract: Use of a cannabidiol for the manufacture of a medicament identified for the treatment or prevention of diabetes and/or insulitis.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of treating tumor growth and metastasis in a mammal, the treating comprising administering allogeneic effector cells together with trifunctional bispecific or trispecific antibodies or a combination thereof having the following properties: a) binding to a T cell b) binding to at least one antigen on a tumor cell c) binding via their Fc portion in the case of trifunctional bispecific antibodies or via third specificity in the case of trispecific antibodies to Fc receptor positive cells; the antibodies redirecting the allogenic cells away from host tissues in order to substantially reduce or avoid a graft versus host disease.

Abstract: Halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acids, salts and/or oligomers or polymers thereof, which exhibit a devitalizing effect of neoplastic tissues, are disclosed. Methods and uses that utilize these compounds for the treatment of medical conditions associated with a neoplastic tissue are also disclosed. Further disclosed are methods and uses that utilize these compounds for reducing or abolishing blood and lymph as well local dissemination of malignant neoplastic cells during a surgical removal thereof, thereby preventing recurrences and distance metastases, and/or inducing immune response to potentially malignant, pre-malignant and/or malignant cells. Further disclosed are novel oligomeric forms of halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acids, pharmaceutical compositions containing same and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides new ceramide analogs indicated as the compounds of formula (II). These novel analogs exhibit a significant anti cancerous effect and are therefore provided as a pharmaceutical composition for treating cell proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolism-associated conditions, infectious diseases, and immune-related disorders. The invention further provides combined compositions and kits combining the novel ceramide analogs of formula (II) with an additional therapeutic agent.

Abstract: Therapeutic compounds based on synthetic sphingolipid analogs are provided, particularly alkylthiophenyl substituted ceramide analogs, suitable for treating degenerative, infectious, and other diseases.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to use of a series of compounds and compositions comprising the same for activating telomerase and treating diseases, disorders and/or conditions related thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of tri-aryl compounds, compositions comprising the same and processes for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: A method of treating cancer in an immune-privileged site of a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprises systemically administering to an area outside the immune-privileged site of the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of naive, viable cells of a tumor of the subject, the tumor being in the immune-privileged site so as to generate an immune response in the subject, thereby treating the cancer in the immune-privileged site of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides the use of a Cannabidiol (CBD) compound for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment as well as for the prevention of at least one fundamental parameter affecting a vascular system selected from (a) the cardiovascular system; (b) the peripheral vascular system; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); as well as pharmaceutical compositions and therapeutic methods for treating the above. A fundamental parameter may include blood/plasma lipid profile; atherosclerosis plaque load; size of heart scar; thickness of heart scar; and cardiac function in general. In accordance with a preferred embodiment the invention concerns treatment of heart scars as well as preventing the formation of heart scars.

Abstract: A method of processing an organ is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) placing an organ in a sealable container; (b) disrupting the structure of said organ to yield a cell suspension; and (c) transferring said cell suspension to a sealable cell-suspension storage container, thereby isolating cells of said organ, wherein said sealable container, wherein said disrupting and said transferring are all performed substantially in a continuous vessel.

Abstract: A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and/or mineralized bone matrix (MBM), optionally comprising bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), particularly for use in bone marrow transplantation, into bone marrow cavity or into extraskeletal sites, and methods of transplantation/implantation thereof. The composition and methods of the invention enable restoring and/or enhancing the formation of hematopoiectic microenvironment originating from the transplanted BMC, and are useful in the treatment of hematopoietic disorders, such as deficiency of stem cells and/or their products, genetic conditions resulting in abnormal stem cells and/or products, or hematopoietic disorders of malignant or non-malignant origin. The composition and method of the invention may also be used for the induction of graft tolerence, for the prevention of graft-v-host disease.

Abstract: A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and/or mineralized bone matrix (MBM) and optionally comprising bone morphogenetic protein/s (BMP) and/or other active agents, particularly for use in the transplantation of mesenchymal progenitor cells into a joint and/or a cranio-facial maxillary bone, for restoring and/or enhancing the formation of a new hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone structure. The composition of the invention and method of treatment employing the same may be used for the treatment of hereditary or acquired bone disorders, hereditary or acquired cartilage disorders, malignant bone or cartilage disorders, metabolic bone diseases, bone infections, conditions involving bone or cartilage deformities and Paget's disease.

Abstract: Use of a cannabidiol for the manufacture of a medicament identified for the treatment or prevention of diabetes and/or insulitis.

Abstract: A composition comprising bone marrow cells (BMC) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or demineralized tooth matrix (DTM), together with a site-responsive polymer, optionally further comprising bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and/or other active agents, particularly for use in the transplantation of mesenchymal progenitor cells into a joint or a cranio-facial-maxillary bone, alveolar bone of maxilla and mandibula, spine, pelvis or long bones, or for construction or reconstruction of any extra skeletal bone, including for mechanical or biological support of artificial implants to the joint or of the joint or to the bone, for restoring and/or enhancing the formation of a new hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone structure. A kit is provided for performing transplantation of the composition into a joint, maxillary or mandibular alveolar bone or any bony structure of a mammal, including support of artificial implants.
