  • Patent number: 10307433
    Abstract: This invention is related to the field of PCSK9 biology and the composition and methods of use of small molecule ligands for modulation of PCSK9 biological activity. In particular, the invention provides compositions of small molecule compounds that modulate circulating levels of low density lipoproteins by altering the conformation of the protein PCSK9. Binding these small molecule ligands to PCSK9 alters the conformation of the protein, modifying the interaction between PCSK9 and an endogenous low density lipoprotein receptor, and can lead to reduced or increased levels of circulating LDL-cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol levels are associated with increased risk for heart disease. Low LDL-cholesterol levels may be problematic in other conditions, such as liver dysfunction; thus, there is also utility for small molecule ligands that can raise LDL levels.

  • Patent number: 10307442
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of a pulmonary disorder is provided. The composition contains mesenchymal stem cells showing improved proliferation and differentiation capacity which are characterized by the expression or non-expression of one or more particular cell markers. Also, provided is a method for obtaining mesenchymal stem cells showing improved proliferation and differentiation capacity based on the expression or non-expression of such cell markers. The mesenchymal stem cells having improved proliferation and differentiation capacity can be easily obtained from mesenchymal stem cells of various origins based on the expression or non-expression of CD26, CD49f, CD146 and EGFR. The mesenchymal stem cells thus obtained can be effectively used for the prevention or treatment of a pulmonary disorder such as, for example, pulmonary emphysema.

  • Patent number: 10307443
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and formulations of micronized Wharton's jelly having a controlled viscosity such that when delivered to the injured region of a subject, it remains substantially localized with little or no migration out of the injured region for the repair and/or regeneration thereof. Micronized Wharton's Jelly can be suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous carrier, such as saline, sterile water, or any suitable buffer, to form a suspension or a gelatinous gel composition, or it can be in the form of a paste, suitable for delivery into the space adjacent the articular surface cartilage injured region of a subject. The micronized Wharton's jelly when employed at sufficient concentrations can be hydrated into a gel or paste and administered topically, or it can be injected into the body through the use of a needle and syringe.
