20090011051 | Methods, Compositions and Articles of Manufacture for HIF Modulating Compounds - The present invention generally relates to the modulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) using the compounds and methods disclosed herein. These compounds and methods can be applied to the prevention, pretreatment, and/or treatment of conditions or states associated with HIF, such as hypoxia- and ischemia-related conditions and the induction of stasis. | 01-08-2009 |
20100021387 | Methods for Inducing Reversible Stasis - The present invention concerns compositions and methods involving incubating biological materials under hypoxic or anoxic conditions to induce stasis or suspended animation. Methods of screening for compounds that induce stasis or compounds that increase the ability to undergo stasis are included. Such methods have ramifications for preserving biological materials as well as reducing or preventing trauma to biological materials. Also contemplated are methods for screening compounds that are active or more active under hypoxic conditions than normoxic conditions. Such methods can be used to identify antitumor compounds that would operate under hypoxic conditions in which tumor cells survive. | 01-28-2010 |

It includes compositions, methods, articles of manufacture and apparatuses for enhancing survivability and for achieving stasis or pre-stasis in any of these biological materials, so as to preserve and/or protect them. In specific embodiments, there are also therapeutic methods and apparatuses for organ transplantation, hyperthermia, wound healing, hemorrhagic shock, cardioplegia for bypass surgery, neurodegeneration, hypothermia, and cancer using the active compounds described. | 02-16-2012 |
20120135091 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR ENHANCING LIFESPAN INVOLVING SIRTUIN-MODULATING COMPOUNDS AND CHALCOGENIDES - The present invention concerns the use of active compounds, including chalcogenides and sirtuin-modulating compounds, either alone or in combination for increasing or enhancing survivability and/or longevity in biological matter. In general aspects, the chalcogenides and other active compounds may modulate one or more sirtuin proteins. It includes compositions, methods, articles of manufacture and apparatuses for enhancing survivability in any of these biological materials, so as to preserve and/or protect them. In specific embodiments, there are also therapeutic methods and apparatuses for aging or stress, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, inflammation, cancer, organ transplantation, hyperthermia, wound healing, hemorrhagic shock, cardioplegia for bypass surgery, neurodegeneration, hypothermia, and cancer using the active compounds described. | 05-31-2012 |
20120244067 | METHODS FOR INDUCING REVERSIBLE STASIS - The present invention concerns compositions and methods involving incubating biological materials under hypoxic or anoxic conditions to induce stasis or suspended animation. Methods of screening for compounds that induce stasis or compounds that increase the ability to undergo stasis are included. Such methods have ramifications for preserving biological materials as well as reducing or preventing trauma to biological materials. Also contemplated are methods for screening compounds that are active or more active under hypoxic conditions than normoxic conditions. Such methods can be used to identify antitumor compounds that would operate under hypoxic conditions in which tumor cells survive. | 09-27-2012 |
