The invention provides compositions and methods for treating optic neuropathic disorders.

Modified bovine G-CSF polypeptides and uses thereof are provided.

Described herein is the use of CSF, more particularly external CSF or CSF-like compositions for the treatment and prevention of different diseases. More particularly, the application provides for the administration of CSF to the intrathecal space or the cerebral ventricles of a patient to increase intracranial pressure and/or CSF flow.

The invention provides non-hormonal Vitamin D conjugated to G-CSF or compounds with G-CSF activity or GM-CSF or compounds having GM-CSF activity singly or in combination that result in increased absorption, bioavailability or circulating half-life when compared to non-conjugated forms.

The present invention relates to a composition which is for preventing or treating bone diseases and includes CCR2 as an active ingredient. It was confirmed that a C—C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) protein, a polynucleotide encoding the CCR2 protein, or a mesenchymal stem cell transduced with the CCR2 according to the present invention neutralize bone disease factor MCP-1, thereby reducing the collagen epitope (CTX-II) and collagen metabolism factors (MMP1 and MMP3) relating to collagen absorption in the body. In addition, it was confirmed that the expression of the SOX9 gene and anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β and IL-10) related to cartilage differentiation was significantly increased. Thus, the present invention has excellent regenerative ability against osteoarthritis and excellent pain suppression and alleviation effects, and thus can be effectively used for preventing or treating bone diseases such as osteoarthritis.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for the treatment of conditions of chronic inflammation, such as periodontitis, that includes the use of sustained release microparticles to locally deliver a compound or agent to reduce inflammation of tissue, such as periodontal tissue, and/or inflammatory mediators. The microparticles are loaded with a compound or agent selected from the group consisting of C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin 4 (IL-4), anti-interleukin 17 (IL17 antibody), and mixtures or blends thereof

The invention relates to an anti-CD16A antigen binding protein for use in NK cell-based immunotherapy, wherein the anti-CD16A antigen binding protein is to be administered intermittently and in combination with a cytokine. In certain embodiments the antigen binding protein is a tetravalent and bispecific CD30/CD16A tandem diabody.

Provided is a cytokine combination for treating a tumor and/or preventing recurrence or metastasis of the tumor. The cytokine combination comprising at least three cytokines selected from the following groups: IL(interleukin)12 or a functional variant thereof, GMCSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) or a functional variant thereof, FLT3L (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand) or a functional variant thereof, IL2 or a functional variant thereof, IL15 or a functional variant thereof, IL21 or a functional variant thereof, and IL7 or a functional variant thereof. Also provided is a nucleic acid molecule encoding the cytokine combination and a vector thereof, a cell, a pharmaceutical composition, and a application thereof for the manufacture of a drug for treating the tumor and/or preventing recurrence or metastasis of the tumor.
