  • Patent number: 9545396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of PRCP antagonist, PREP antagonist, or PRCP-PREP dual antagonist. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition jointly using PRCP antagonist and mTOR antagonist, or jointly using PREP antagonist and mTOR antagonist, or jointly using PRCP-PREP dual antagonist and mTOR antagonist. In addition, the present invention also relates to a method for utilizing the pharmaceutical compositions to treat and prevent cancers and diseases related to insulin receptor substrate protein and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway.

  • Patent number: 8497066
    Abstract: A DNA methylation-based test for efficiency of treatments is based on a plurality of genes. The test is suitable for monitoring treatment of subjects with neurological diseases, e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS); with cancer, e.g., breast and ovarian cancer, and with other diseases for which methylation of biomarkers differs in the diseased compared to the non-diseased state.

  • Patent number: 7851219
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for increasing protein production from a cell culture. By switching the cells from a replicative to a productive state (RP switch), protein biosynthesis is extended. The productive state is a pseudo-senescent state. This pseudo-senescent state can be induced by transforming the cells with a vector expressing a cell cycle inhibitor. Expression of the cell cycle inhibitor within the cell, because it does not cause cell death, allows for cells to be maintained in culture for longer periods. The invention allows for controlled enhanced protein biosynthetic productivity of cell lines for commercial and research purposes.
