  • Neurogenerative or neurotrophic factors for mitigating a symptom of ischemia
    Patent number: 7605128
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the identification of neurogenerative and/or neurotrophic factors that can induce migration of stem cells to neural tissue and/or induce proliferation and/or differentiation of such cells into neurons. Such agents include, but are not limited to stem cell factor (SCF), heparin binding EGF (HB-EGF), and VEGF.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2009
    Assignee: Buck Institute for Age Research
    Inventors: David C. Greenberg, Kunlin Jin, Xiao Ou Mao, Lin Xie, Yunjuan Sun, Jocelyn Childs

  • Neuroglobin is up-regulated by and protects neurons from hypoxic-ischemic injury
    Publication number: 20050170345
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the discovery that neuroglobin (Ngb) expression helps promote neuronal survival from hypoxic-ischemic insults. Neuroglobin thus provides a good target to screen for agents that mitigate harmful effects from hypoxic-/ischemic insult. Methods are provided for screening for agents that promote neuronal survival from hypoxic-ischemic insult (e.g., ischaemic injury such as caused by myocardial infarction, stroke induced neuron death, reperfusion injury, traumatic head injury, cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, and the like).
