20100069301 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PATHOLOGIC ANGIOGENESIS AND VASCULAR PERMEABILITY - Compounds, compositions and methods for inhibiting vascular permeability and pathologic angiogenesis are described herein. Methods for producing and screening compounds and compositions capable of inhibiting vascular permeability and pathologic angiogenesis are also described herein. Pharmaceutical compositions are included in the compositions described herein. The compositions described herein are useful in, for example, methods of inhibiting vascular permeability and pathologic angiogenesis, including methods of inhibiting vascular permeability and pathologic angiogenesis induced by specific angiogenic, permeability and inflammatory factors, such as, for example VEGF, bFGF and thrombin. Methods for treating specific diseases and conditions are also provided herein. | 03-18-2010 |
20100129358 | METHOD OF DETECTING OCULAR DISEASES AND PATHOLOGIC CONDITIONS AND TREATMENT OF SAME - Ocular diseases affecting the macula or the vasculature of the eye affect a wide variety of individuals. In particular, Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world and has a significant genetic predisposition. Methods of analyzing one or more mutations in the HtrA1 gene in order to identify individuals with a presusceptability to development of an ocular disease and a pathologic condition of the eye and diagnose those currently suffering from an ocular disease or a pathologic condition of the eye are provided. The methods of the present invention may further include analysis of the CFH gene in order to identify individuals with a presusceptability to development of an ocular disease and a pathologic condition of the eye and diagnose those currently suffering from an ocular disease or a pathologic condition of the eye. Compositions and methods for treating ocular disease and pathologic conditions of the eye are also provided. | 05-27-2010 |
20100166743 | METHOD OF DETECTING OCULAR DISEASES AND PATHOLOGIC CONDITIONS AND TREATMENT OF SAME - Methods of detecting and treating diseases and pathological conditions of the eye are disclosed. In particular a genetic variant of the HtrA1 gene is correlated to age related macular degeneration (AMD). In addition, biologically active agents capable of inhibiting HtrA1 activity are provided, and methods of treating diseases and pathological conditions of the eye are additionally disclosed. | 07-01-2010 |
20100222401 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PATHOLOGIC ANGIOGENESIS AND VASCULAR PERMEABILITY - Compounds, compositions and methods for inhibiting vascular permeability and pathologic angiogenesis by modulating a signaling pathway delineated herein are described. Moreover, methods for producing and screening compounds and compositions capable of modulating the signaling pathway described herein, inhibiting vascular permeability, and inhibiting pathologic angiogenesis are also provided. | 09-02-2010 |
20110112053 | PHARMACOLOGICAL TARGETING OF VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS - Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for decreasing vascular permeability in a blood vessel and treating or preventing conditions associated with defects or injuries of vascular endothelium. For example, the disclosed compositions and methods can be used to treat a vascular dysplasia such as cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM). These methods relate generally to the use of compositions that inhibit RhoA GTPase levels or activity, such as inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. | 05-12-2011 |
