Abstract: Disclosed are methods for preventing, delaying or reversing age-associated inflammation, by administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of at least one long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1, L1) endonuclease inhibitor (L1 EN inhibitor), either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent. Effectiveness of the methods can be measured via biomarkers and/or by a decrease in symptoms compared to those symptoms before administration of the L1 EN inhibitor. Specific chemical structures of the L1 EN inhibitors are identified and shown herein.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preventing, delaying or reversing age-associated inflammation, by administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of at least one reverse transcriptase inhibitor (RTI).

Abstract: Described herein is are compositions and methods for treating an articulating joint disorders, comprising systemically administering to a subject a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI).

Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery of a novel amino acid sequence motif, herein termed the RKIP motif, and to the family of proteins defined by the presence of that motif. Proteins comprising the RKIP motif modulate kinases involved in signal transduction pathways. The RKIP motif forms the basis for screening assays for the identification of agents useful for modulating signal transduction pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation, and for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving inappropriate activities of pathways subject to RKIP family medicated regulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to the transcriptional regulation of a family of proteins defined by the presence of an RKIP motif. Proteins comprising the RKIP motif modulate kinases involved in signal transduction pathways. Transcriptional regulation of proteins containing an RKIP motif forms the basis for screening assays for the identification of agents useful for modulating signal transduction pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation, and for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving inappropriate activities of pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation.
