The present invention provides antibodies that bind to human gremlin-1 (GREM1), and methods of use. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to GREM1. The antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing GREM1 activity, thus providing a means of treating a GREM1-related disease or disorder such as fibrosis and cancer. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the present invention are used in treating at least one symptom or complication of fibrosis of the liver, lungs or kidney.

A method for treating or preventing idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy is provided comprising intravitreal injections of Zimura™ (or another anti-C5 agent) and Eylea® (or another VEGF antagonist).

Compositions and methods for treating hair loss are provided. One embodiment provides a microneedle composition, which when administered to the skin of a subject promotes hair growth. The microneedle compositions include an effective amount of glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) protein having an amino acid sequence that has 99 or 100% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, or fragment thereof to promote hair growth when administered to the skin of the subject and a bioerodible, biodegradable, or biosorbable polymer, wherein the composition is formulated as bioerodible, biodegradable, or bioabsorbable microneedles. In one embodiment the GILZ protein or fragment thereof is conjugated to a cell penetrating peptide. The cell penetrating peptide can be TAT GRKKRRQRRRPQ (SEQ ID NO:4) or a variant thereof.

The present disclosure pertains to compositions comprising anti-VEGF proteins and methods for producing such compositions.

The present invention relates to compounds for treatment of a disease or disorder associated with excessive vascularisation of the eye, such as for instance corneal neovascularisation, neovascularisation of the iris, neovascularisation of the ciliary body, corneal pannus, choroidal neovascularisation, retinal neovascularisation, wet age-related macular degeneration, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and ischemic retinopathy.

Methods and compositions are provided for the regeneration of articular cartilage by activating skeletal stem cells with a combination of (i) mechanical and (ii) biochemical stimulus. The mechanical stimulus can be an acute local injury. The biochemical stimulus can be a combination of an effective dose of a BMP2 activating agent and a VEGF inhibitor.
