Abstract: The present invention relates to a delivery system that comprises a conjugate that facilitates the delivery of a compound such as a biologically-active macromolecule, a nucleic acid or a peptide in particular, into a cell. The present invention also relates to said conjugate for delivery of a compound, such as a biologically-active macromolecule, a nucleic acid or a peptide, into a cell. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said conjugate and to its use. The present invention also relates to a method of delivering a compound to a cell or an organism, preferably a patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the significant functional role of several C. elegans genes and of their corresponding gene products in cell cycle progression during cell division that could be identified by means of RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) and to the identification and isolation of functional orthologs of said genes including all biologically functional derivatives thereof. The invention further relates to the use of said genes and gene products (including said orthologs) in the development or isolation of anti-proliferative agents, particularly their use in appropriate screening assays, and their use for diagnosis and treatment of proliferative and other diseases. In particular, the invention relates to the use of small interfering RNAs derived from said genes for the treatment of proliferative diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel targets in the screening for compounds useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a disease selected from the group comprising cardiovascular diseases, disorders of lipid metabolism or atherosclerosis. The invention relates to novel compounds for use as a medicament for diseases or conditions involving a disease selected from the group comprising cardiovascular diseases, disorders of lipid metabolism or atherosclerosis. The invention especially relates to antagonists and expression-inhibitory compounds that target G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), kinases and proteases, and to methods for identifying such compounds. The invention further relates to methods for identifying these antagonists and expression-inhibitory compounds, and methods for diagnosing a disease selected from the group comprising cardiovascular diseases, disorders of lipid metabolism or atherosclerosis or a susceptibility to such a condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the significant functional role of several C. elegans genes and of their corresponding gene products in spindle formation or microtubule function during cell division that could be identified by means of RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) and to the identification and isolation of functional orthologs of said genes including all biologically functional derivatives thereof The invention further relates to the use of said genes and gene products (including said orthologs) in the development or isolation of anti-proliferative agents, particularly their use in appropriate screening assays, and their use for diagnosis and treatment of proliferative and other diseases. In particular, the invention relates to the use of small interfering RNAs derived from said genes for the treatment of proliferative diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the significant functional role of several C. elegans genes and of their corresponding gene products in cell division and proliferation processes that could be identified by means of RNA-medicated interference (RNAi) and to the identification and isolation of functional orthologues of said genes including all biologically-active derivatives thereof. The invention further relates to the use of said gene products (including said orthologues) in the development or isolation of anti-proliferative agents, particularly their use in appropriate screening assays, and their use for diagnosis and treatment of proliferative diseases.
