Abstract: The invention relates to the use of PDE5 inhibitors, preferably sildenafil or tadalafil, optionally in combination with a further active ingredient, for treating and/or preventing hypopigmentary disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Pirlindole, if needed with suitable adjuvants and additives for the production of a medicament for the treatment of diseases characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and/or T cells, in particular psoriasis and neurodermatitis as well as compositions comprising Pirlindole and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) polypeptides according to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 4 and/or nucleic acids encoding them, or an antibody or a fragment thereof directed against the polypeptide, or of a cell which is expressing the polypeptide or a nucleic acid encoding it, for diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention of diabetes-associated and/or arterial wounds which heal poorly and for identifying pharmacologically active substances which exert an influence on the expression or function, particularly the activity of ACT.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the general formula (IV) and (II) and salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof, wherein X is C—R8 or N; and Z is independently one of the following groups:

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for separating viruses of different sizes, with the virus-containing solution preferably being filtered through one or more filter membranes.

Abstract: Method of using of polypeptides or nucleic acids encoding these for the diagnosis and/or prevention and/or treatment of diseases of skin cells and/or of wound healing and/or its pathological disorders, and their use for the identification of pharmacologically active substance.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are cloning vectors which include: (a) a cloning site which permits the cloning of a nucleic acid in defined orientation; (b) at least one cleavage site adjacent to the cloning site, the cleavage site being rarely-occurring in nucleic acids; and (c) a long region which is located on the side of the cloning site opposite to the cleavage site (b), wherein the long region and the region between the cloning site and the cleavage site (b) contain neither the cloning site nor at least two frequently-occurring cleavage sites.
