Patents by Inventor Hong-jun Song

Hong-jun Song has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20030134821
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for promoting neural cell growth and/or regeneration. The general methods involve contacting with an activator of a cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinase a neural cell subject to growth repulsion mediated by a neural cell growth repulsion factor. The activator may comprise a direct or an indirect activator of the protein kinase; the repulsion factor typically comprises one or more natural, endogenous proteins mediating localized repulsion or inhibition of neural cell growth; and the target cells are generally vertebrate neurons, typically injured mammalian neurons. The subject compositions include mixtures comprising a neural cell, an activator of a cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinase and a neural cell growth repulsion factor.
    Type: Application
