  • Patent number: 10052336
    Abstract: Model and method of treating inflammatory diseases. Traditional treatments for such diseases include administering to the patient toxic anti-inflammatory drugs. Following stabilization of the symptoms, the drug doses are tapered down to minimize side effects, as a result of which inflammation remains high and the disease is rarely cured. A chemistry-based disease model concludes that irrespective of the role that inflammation plays in the disease, inflammation reduction will impede disease initiation and progression. Managing and controlling inflammatory diseases requires reducing inflammation to acceptable normal values. Non-toxic ways such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-inflammatory diets, and regular exercise allow such reduction in inflammation to normal values, thereby slowing down or arresting disease progression and allowing the discontinuation or reduction of toxic anti-inflammatory therapy while maintaining low inflammation using non-toxic therapy.

  • Patent number: 10052363
    Abstract: An isolated human cell is disclosed comprising at least one mesenchymal stem cell phenotype and secreting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), wherein a basal secretion of the BDNF is at least five times greater than a basal secretion of the BDNF in a mesenchymal stem cell. Methods of generating same and uses of same are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10052364
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating or preventing cognitive disorders in mammals, preferably humans, are provided. The methods generally involve modulation of the OST-PTP signaling pathway or the PTP-1B signaling pathway involving gamma-carboxylase and osteocalcin, e.g., by administration of undercarboxylated/uncarboxylated osteocalcin. Disorders amenable to treatment by the methods include, but are not limited to, cognitive loss due to neurodegeneration associated with aging, anxiety, depression, memory loss, learning difficulties, and cognitive disorders associated with food deprivation during pregnancy.

  • Patent number: 10052366
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for the treatment of neurocutaneous syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis type I; disorders associated with overactivation of FGFR3, such as achondroplasia; bone or cartilage disorders; or vascular smooth muscle disorders; or for the elongation of bone. In some embodiments, the present invention provides polypeptides having an alkaline phosphatase peptide fused to an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin or a natriuretic peptide fused to an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin. Such polypeptides can be administered to subjects, e.g., subcutaneously, to treat a neurocutaneous syndrome, a disorder associated with overactivation of FGFR3, a bone or cartilage disorder, or a vascular smooth muscle disorder, or to elongate bone.

  • Patent number: 10052368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified protein drugs, and a PEGylated tissue kallikrein, a preparation method and use thereof are disclosed. The tissue kallikrein has a sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No. 2, and the tissue kallikrein may be natural or recombinant. The PEG has a molecular weight of 20 to 40 kDa, and is conjugated to the N-terminal primary amino of the tissue kallikrein. In addition to the advantages of significantly extended half-life, significantly reduced immunogenicity and stable and uniform structure, the biological activity of the PEGylated KLK1 provided in the present invention is improved to a higher extent, which is more significant in the treatment of cerebral apoplexy and diabetic nephropathy in particular.

  • Patent number: 10052369
    Abstract: A novel method of using an aquaporin protein from Rhipicephalus microplus (RmAQP2), fragments of RmAQP2, and/or the cDNA encoding RmAQP2 and/or the fragments are described. Immunogenic composition containing recombinant RmAQP2 and/or fragments of RmAQP2 are produced and administered to an ungulate which generates an immune response to RmAQP2. After feeding female ticks on the ungulate injected with RmAQP2 and/or fragments of RmAQP2, the female ticks have lower reproductive viability because of a reduced egg mass, reduced hatching percentage, and reduced survival of larvae. Thus, administering RmAQP2 and/or RmAQP2 fragments to an ungulate can reduce the incidence of R. microplus and also reduce the incidence of tick-borne pathogens in ungulates because of the lower number of R. microplus.
