20080286250 | Implantable Biocompatible Immunoisolatory Vehicle for Delivery of Gdnf - The present invention relates to devices comprising a composition of human cells secreting a therapeutically effective amount of GDNF (Glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor) encapsulated in a device comprising a core and a semipermeable membrane allowing for the diffusion of GDNF protein. The human cells are from one cell line. | 11-20-2008 |
20090087474 | Therapeutic use of growth factors,nsg29 and nsg31 - The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic use of proteins, genes and cells, in particular to the therapy based on secreted therapeutic proteins, NsG29 and NsG31. NsG29 and Ns31 are members of a newly identified family of growth factors with a specific cystein pattern and characterised by expression in the nervous system. The secreted growth factors have potential for the treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The invention also relates to bioactive NsG29 and NsG31 polypeptide fragments and the corresponding encoding DNA sequences. | 04-02-2009 |
20090136552 | Growth factors nsg28, nsg30, and nsg32 - Disclosed are NsG28, NsG30, NsG32 polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding NsG28, NsG30, NsG32 polypeptides, and antibodies that bind to NsG28, NsG30, NsG32 polypeptides as well as methods of making and using the same. | 05-28-2009 |
