  • Publication number: 20140303223
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for muscle repair or regeneration comprising administering therapeutically effective amounts of RAR agonists or stem cells that are pretreated with contact with a RAR agonist to a subject at a site of muscle damage. Additionally, the invention provides compositions comprising RAR agonist treated stem cells and methods of use of said cells for muscle repair or regeneration. In one embodiment, the stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells. In one embodiment, the RAR agonist is an RAR? agonist. In one embodiment, administration of the RAR agonist is begun during a period of increased endogenous retinoid signaling in the subject resulting from incurrence of the damaged muscle tissue.

  • Publication number: 20140303109
    Abstract: Water-soluble fluorinated analogs of natural curcumin, and particularly difluoro Knoevenagel condensates and Schiff bases, along with their corresponding copper (H) complexes have improved bioavailablity over curcumin. The fluorine-substituted analogs of curcumin are useful as chemopreventive and/or therapeutic agents against cancers and/or against the development of drug-resistant cancer. A preferred compound is (IE,6E)-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,6-diene{4(3,4 difluorobenzaldehyde)}-3,5-dione.
