Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090028829 | Fusion proteins for the treatment of CNS - This disclosure relates to compositions capable of use in the treatment of spinal cord injuries and related disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), and in particular, compositions including proteoglycan degrading molecules and compositions capable of blocking and/or over coming the activity of neuronal growth inhibitory molecules, as well as fusion proteins which includes a proteoglycan degrading domain and a domain capable of blocking and or over coming the activity of neuronal growth inhibitory molecules. | 01-29-2009 |
20090041728 | Proteoglycan Degrading Mutants for the Treatment of CNS - The present disclosure relates to the preparation and deletion mutants of chondroitinase proteins and their use in methods for promoting the diffusion of therapeutic composition into tissues and their use for neurological functional recovery after central nervous system (“CNS”) injury or disease. | 02-12-2009 |
20110250631 | PROTEOGLYCAN DEGRADING MUTANTS FOR TREATMENT OF CNS - The present disclosure relates to the preparation and deletion mutants of chondroitinase proteins and their use in methods for promoting the diffusion of therapeutic composition into tissues and their use for neurological functional recovery after central nervous system (“CNS”) injury or disease. | 10-13-2011 |
20110262413 | METHODS OF REDUCING EXTRAVASATION OF INFLAMMATORY CELLS - A method for modifying access of cells to extravascular spaces and regions comprising administering to a patient an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans is provided. It has been found that administration of an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans to a patient disrupts extravasation of cells from the blood stream into tissue. The present invention provides methods of reducing penetration of cells associated with inflammation into tissue of a patient. Several methods are also provided for the regulation and suppression of inflammation comprising administering enzymes that digest chondroitin sulfates. Also provided are methods of treating and preventing inflammation associated with infection, injury and disease. | 10-27-2011 |
20130243765 | CHIMERIC PROTEIN - A chimeric protein is disclosed for promoting repair and regeneration of neurons damaged by disease or physical injury wherein the chimeric protein is a combination of a first polypeptide possessing matrix modification activity and a second polypeptide possessing regenerating activity for neural cells. | 09-19-2013 |
20140193387 | METHODS OF REDUCING EXTRAVASATION OF INFLAMMATORY CELLS - A method for modifying access of cells to extravascular spaces and regions comprising administering to a patient an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans is provided. It has been found that administration of an enzyme that cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans to a patient disrupts extravasation of cells from the blood stream into tissue. The present invention provides methods of reducing penetration of cells associated with inflammation into tissue of a patient. Several methods are also provided for the regulation and suppression of inflammation comprising administering enzymes that digest chondroitin sulfates. Also provided are methods of treating and preventing inflammation associated with infection, injury and disease. | 07-10-2014 |
20140248253 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CNS INJURIES - The present invention is directed to a method of improving functional recovery following a central nervous system contusion injury. The method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of glycosaminoglycan degrading enzyme. The glycosaminoglycan degrading enzyme may be dermatan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate degrading enzymes. The central nervous system contusion injury may include a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury. The functional recovery may include autonomic functions, sensory functions, motor functions or the like. | 09-04-2014 |
20140322192 | PROTEOGLYCAN DEGRADING MUTANTS FOR TREATMENT OF CNS - The present disclosure relates to the preparation and deletion mutants of chondroitinase proteins and their use in methods for promoting the diffusion of therapeutic composition into tissues and their use for neurological functional recovery after central nervous system (“CNS”) injury or disease. | 10-30-2014 |
