Abstract: The object of the present invention is a hoof boot shell part (1) comprising a base part (2), the lower surface of which (2a) is arranged to rest against a surface and the upper surface of which (2b) is arranged to receive the bottom of the hoof. A rim (3) is arranged to extend from the edge of the base part (2) and adapted in use to surround the hoof. Attached to the lower surface (2a) of the base part (2) is a bottom piece (10), which forms an area (10a) of the lower surface (2a) of the base part (2), which is harder compared with the hardness of the other material of the base part (2).

Abstract: The invention provides a molecule that modulates an activity of a Src family kinase for use in preventing or treating a metastatic cancer a subject. Preferably, the molecule comprises or consists of the structure: Bj-[(Pro)n-Xr-His-Pro-His-Ala-Arg-Ile-Lys]m-Rp, or Bj-[lys-ile-arg-ala-his-pro-his-xr-(pro)n]m-Rp, or a derivative or fragment thereof, wherein B is a first chemical moiety, j is 0 or 1, n is an integer from 1-10, X is any amino acid, r is an integer from 0 to 2, m is an integer from 1 to 3, R is a second chemical moiety, p is 0 or 1, and [lys-ile-arg-ala-his-pro-his-xr-(pro)n] is the retro-inverso peptide of [(Pro)n-Xr-His-Pro-His-Ala-Arg-Ile-Lys].

Abstract: The invention provides a molecule that inhibits or prevents an interaction between a Src family kinase and an androgen or estradiol receptor, for use in preventing or treating a non-cancerous condition in which an activity of AR and/or ER is a contributory factor in a subject, or for use in preventing or treating a cancerous condition in which an activity of AR and/or ER is a contributory factor in a subject who wishes to preserve fertility, or for use in preventing or treating a gynaecological condition in which an activity of AR and/or ER is a contributory factor in a subject.

Abstract: A method for suppressing the expression of a selected gene in a cell, the method comprising introducing into the cell a molecule comprising (1) a nucleic acid binding portion which binds to a site or associated with the selected gene which site is present in a genome and (2) an expression repressor portion, wherein the nucleic acid binding portion comprises an oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide mimic or analogue, and wherein the repressor portion comprises a polypeptide or peptidomimetic. Molecules for use in the methods of the invention are provided. The repressor may be a portion of a histone deacetylase or DNA methylase or polypeptide capable of recruiting a histone deacetylase or DNA methylase.
