US Classification:
514 12, 530350
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract luminal lining in a mammal, including (1) limiting epithelial cell proliferation, (2) inhibiting ulcerative lesion formation, (3) inhibiting inflammation normally associated with ulcerative diseases, and (4) stimulating the repair of ulcerative lesions and the regeneration of the luminal tissue. The methods and compositions include a therapeutically effective amount of a morphogen as defined herein.

Morphogen-Enhanced Survival And Repair Of Neural Cells

US Patent:
6495513, Dec 17, 2002
Filed:
May 31, 1995
Appl. No.:
08/456033
Inventors:
David C. Rueger - Hopkinton MA
Hermann Oppermann - Medway MA
Engin Ozkaynak - Milford MA
Roy H. L. Pang - Etna NH
Charles M. Cohen - Medway MA
Assignee:
Curis, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61K 3800
US Classification:
514 2, 514 12
Abstract:
Disclosed are therapeutic treatment methods, compositions and devices for maintaining neural pathways in a mammal, including enhancing survival of neurons at risk of dying, inducing cellular repair of damaged neurons and neural pathways, and stimulating neurons to maintain their differentiated phenotype. In one embodiment, the invention provides means for stimulating CAM expression in neurons. The invention also provides means for evaluating the status of nerve tissue, including means for detecting and monitoring neuropathies in a mammal. The methods, devices and compositions include a morphogen or morphogen-stimulating agent provided to the mammal in a therapeutically effective concentration.

Protein-Induced Tissue Morphogenesis

View page
US Patent:
6565843, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Mar 14, 1995
Appl. No.:
08/404113
Inventors:
Charles M. Cohen - Medway MA
Roy H. L. Pang - Medway MA
Hermann Oppermann - Medway MA
David C. Rueger - West Roxbury MA
Assignee:
Curis, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61K 3512
US Classification:
424 931, 435325, 435363, 435366, 435370, 435372, 514 2, 514 12
Abstract:
The invention provides methods, compositions and devices for inducing tissue-specific regeneration in a mammal, or for stimulating proliferation of mammalian progenitor cells. The present methods, compositions and devices make use of osteogenic protein (OP- ), which is appreciated herein as a tissue morphogen, i. e. , a substance competent to induce tissue-specific morphogenesis of mammalian body tissues in addition to bone and/or cartilage. Alternatively, the present methods, compositions and devices make use of other naturally-occurring or biosynthetic proteins sharing a defined structural and functional relationship with OP- and thus appreciated herein also to function as tissue morphogens. Optionally, OP- or a related protein can be used alone or when adsorbed on a support matrix which provides an anchoring substratum for proliferation and/or differentiation of progenitor cells during tissue-specific morphogenesis. In another embodiment, OP- or a related protein is used to stimulate mammalian progenitor cells ex vivo, such that the stimulated cells, when disposed in vivo in a mammal, undergo tissue-specific morphogenesis to produce replacement tissue at a nonskeletal tissue locus in need thereof (i. e.
