Abstract: The present invention relates to mutated factor (FX) polypeptides and uses thereof for the treatment of haemophilia. In particular, the present invention relates to a mutated factor X (FX) polypeptide which comprises a heavy chain wherein at least one amino acid residue at position 401 or 408 is mutated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for treating NPM-1-driven acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in a subject in need thereof comprising administering the subject with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one arsenic compound and with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one retinoid.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or disorders, particularly neurodegenerative diseases and disorders associated with protein aggregation. The present invention is based on the discovery of binding regions on the surface of PrPc, referred to as PrPc Binding Domains (PBD). In particular, the inventors have identified six different binding regions on PrPc, referred to herein as PrP-binding domain-1 (PBD-1), PrP-binding domain-2 (PBD-2), PrP-binding domain-3 (PBD-3), PrP-binding domain-4 (PBD-4), PrP-binding domain-5 (PBD-5), and PrP-binding domain-6 (PBD-6), herein. The PBD-1 to PBD-6 are each defined by a cluster of amino acids located in the globular domain of the protein, e.g., in the C-terminal half of the protein (i.e., in residues 120-230). One embodiment uses residues 127-226.
