Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of Formula I: wherein variable substituents are defined herein, that modulate the activity of or bind to chemokine receptors such as CCR5. In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention are selective for CCR5. The compounds can be used, for example, to treat diseases associated with chemokine receptor expression or activity such as inflammatory diseases, immune diseases and viral infections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 3-cycloalkylaminopyrrolidine derivatives of the formula I: (wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, X, Y and Z are as defined herein) which are useful as modulators of chemokine receptor activity. In particular, these compounds are useful as modulators of chemokine receptors and more specifically as modulators of the CCR2 and/or CCR5 receptor. The compounds and compositions of the invention may bind to chemokine receptors, e.g., the CCR2 and/or CCR5 chemokine receptors, and are useful for treating diseases associated with chemokine, e.g., CCR2 and/or CCR5, activity, such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, lupus, organ transplant rejection and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods of differentiating insulin+, glucose responsive islet-like structures from insulin− cells. The invention further provides methods for using insulin+, glucose responsive islet-like structures, as well as the insulin+, glucose responsive cells which comprise said islet-like clusters.
