Abstract: Provided herein are peptides from the N-terminal of endostatin proteins, including the first histidine of the protein, nucleic acids encoding the peptides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the nucleic acids and proteins and methods for using the pharmaceutical compositions to treat or prevent endometriosis in a subject.

Abstract: Provided herein are anti-angiogenic comprising the N-terminal end of endostatin, nucleic acids encoding the same, pharmaceutical preparations comprising an effective amount of the peptide and nucleic acids and use of the pharmaceuticals in treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with undesirable angiogenesis.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the treatment of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) in the human subject in need thereof. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of doxycycline or a salt thereof. The invention further provides a method for monitoring the efficacy of treatment. Treatment efficacy is monitored by measuring MMP levels. Reduction in MMP levels indicates that the treatment is effective.

Abstract: The present invention relates to conjugates of water-soluble polymers and o-(chloracetyl-carbamoyl) fumagillol (TNP-470) and use of those conjugates as specific intracellular carriers of the TNP-470 into tumor vessels.
