  • Patent number: 10669312
    Abstract: The peptide of the present invention performs a function, which is the same as or similar to that of natural interleukin (IL)-3, and has superior skin permeability due to the small size thereof. In addition, the peptide of the present invention suppresses the activation of NF-?B and nuclear transition by inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-RANK signaling pathway, and suppresses the expression of a RANKL or an inflammatory cytokine-induced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K, or TNF receptor type 1 or type 2, thereby inhibiting osteoclast differentiation depending on the treatment concentration. Moreover, the peptide of the present invention can contribute to osteoblast differentiation by promoting the expression of osteoblast differentiation markers such as osteocalcin (OCN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone sialoprotein (BSP), or osteopontin (OPN).

  • Patent number: 10669321
    Abstract: A method is provided for capillary stabilization and vascular regeneration in retinal tissue. Capillary regeneration is accomplished with a protein that is a truncated norrin protein (synthetic). The truncated norrin protein has a longer half-life in the eye than native wild norrin proteins. Specific versions of the truncated norrin protein lack a cleavage site that an enzyme in the eye use to cleave to native norrin proteins and thereby shorten the useful life of the protein. The provided method encourages vascular development with an exogenous treatment of truncated norrin that have been investigated in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice. The therapeutic feasibility of intravitreal injection of the norrin protein and its effect on retinal development by activating Wnt-signaling has also been shown.
