Abstract: The application reports that perlecan domain V (DV) or the LG3 domain thereof reduces deposition and toxicity of A? peptide, the major component of plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Methods of using DV, LG3 and related molecules in treatment of amyloidogenic diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, are provided.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to the use of perlecan domain V (DV) for the treatment of stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injuries (SCI). In certain embodiments, fusion proteins of DV can be used for the treatment of stroke, TBI or SCI. DV is also referred to as endorepellin in the art. This application also provides compositions and combination therapies for the treatment of stroke, TCI and/or SCI. Another aspect of the invention provides methods of restoring motor function in subjects having neurological damage arising from a stroke, TBI or SCI.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to methods of stimulating or enhancing angiogenesis in a patient comprising, administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of an endorepellin protein, wherein said endorepellin protein has an amino acid sequence of domain V of perlecan or fragments or derivatives, analogs thereof; and stimulating or enhancing generation of blood vessels. The present invention is drawn to compositions for enhancing angiogenesis.
