Abstract: An administration device comprising an array of needles, one or more fluid agents, and at least one hydrogel is described. The device can simultaneously deliver a plurality of fluid agents along respective axes into a tissue. The use of hydrogel leads to constrained delivery of the fluid agents. The constrained delivery of an agent is also achieved by depositing a drug implant into a tissue. The effect of an agent on the tissue can be evaluated thereafter. In addition, the invention is directed to treating muscle diseases by delivering a therapeutic agent in vivo, and the use of reporter tissues for candidate drug evaluation, detecting and characterizing resistance.

Abstract: Methods and devices for delivering an agent to a solid tissue in vivo for assessment of efficacy are described. One method involves withdrawing of a needle from and injecting of the agent into the solid tissue; another method involves delivering the agent using a plurality of microdialysis probes to a solid tissue.

Abstract: Methods, biomarkers, and expression signatures are disclosed for assessing the regulation status of RAS pathway signaling in a cell sample or subject. More specifically, several aspects of the invention provide a set of genes which can be used as biomarkers and gene signatures for evaluating RAS pathway deregulation status in a sample; classifying a cell sample as having a deregulated or regulated RAS signaling pathway; determining whether an agent modulates the RAS signaling pathway in sample; predicting response of a subject to an agent that modulates the RAS signaling pathway; assigning treatment to a subject; and evaluating the pharmacodynamic effects of cancer therapies designed to regulate RAS pathway signaling.

Abstract: Methods of modulating body weight and/or fat content of a subject, methods of treating or preventing weight disorders and methods of treating or preventing weight disorder related diseases are disclosed. The methods include modifying an activity or expression of a protein tyrosine phosphatase epsilon (PTPe) so as to modulate the body weight and/or fat content of the subject. Pharmaceutical compositions and articles of manufacture useful in practice of the methods are further disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions and methods relating to small interfering RNA (siRNA) polynucleotides are provided as pertains to modulation of biological signal transduction. Shown are siRNA polynucleotides that interfere with expression of members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) class of enzymes that mediate signal transduction, and with certain MAP kinase kinases (MKK). In certain preferred embodiments siRNA modulate signal transduction pathways comprising SHP2, cdc14a/b, cdc25A/B/C, KAP, PTP-?, PRL-3, CD45, dual specificity phosphatase-3 (DSP-3), MKK-4, and/or MKK-7. Modulation of PTP-mediated biological signal transduction has uses in diseases associated with defects in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and/or cell survival, such as metabolic disorders (including diabetes and obesity), cancer, autoimmune disease, infectious and inflammatory disorders and other conditions.

Shown are siRNA polynucleotides that interfere with expression of TCPTP, a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) class of enzymes that mediate signal transduction. In certain preferred embodiments siRNA modulate signal transduction pathways comprising human or murine TCPTP and, in certain further embodiments, insulin receptor, c-jun kinase (JNK) and/or Jak2.
