The present invention relates to a novel peptide exhibiting an effect of releasing myelopoiesis stem cells into blood and an osteoporosis therapeutic effect and use thereof and, in particularly, to a novel peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID.NO:1 which has effects of releasing hematopoietic stem cells into a bloodstream and decreasing osteoclast cells in bone narrow, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel peptide as an active ingredient for preventing or treating neutropenia, anemia or osteoporosis. Because of side effects, the peptide of the present invention not only increases level of leukocytes, red blood cells and platelets in blood, but also alleviates a decrease in bone density, and therefore, can be very usefully used for the development of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for neutropenia, anemia or osteoporosis.

Described are a genetically modified microorganism and corresponding methods and products. The genetically modified microorganism may include a first gene that encodes an acyl transferase and a second gene that encodes a peptide or protein. One or both of the first and second gene may be heterologous. The genetically modified microorganism may include a modified acyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway configured for one or more of: inducible biosynthesis of an acyl-CoA and over-accumulation of the acyl-CoA. The genetically modified microorganism may be effective upon fermentation to cause acylation of the peptide or protein by the acyl transferase using the acyl-CoA to provide a N-acylated peptide or protein product.

PYY analogs are disclosed that include modifications that increase half-life when compared to native, human PYY, as well as additional modifications that increase potency and selectivity to the NPY2 receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions also are disclosed that include one or more of the PYY analogs described herein in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods of making and using the PYY analogs also are disclosed, especially for treating obesity and obesity-related diseases and disorders such as type II diabetes mellitus.

Described herein are methods for treating a subject having or at risk of developing an autoimmune or inflammatory condition or an infection by administering a neuromodulating agent.

The present invention relates to a recombinant adeno-associated viral (r AAV) vector comprising neuropeptide Y (NPY) coding sequence and neuropeptide Y2 receptor (NPY2R) coding sequence. The invention further relates to a AAV particle comprising said vector, wherein the vector is encapsulated by adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid proteins. Also, a pharmaceutical composition comprising said AAV particle, for use in the prevention or treatment of a neurological disorder in mammals, such as epilepsy.

The present invention comprises conjugates comprising a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) fusion peptide coupled to a cyclic PYY peptide. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use thereof. The novel conjugates are useful for preventing, treating or ameliorating diseases and disorders disclosed herein.

Described herein are methods for treating a subject having or at risk of developing cancer by administering a neuromodulating agent.
