This invention relates to novel method of treating or ameliorating a retinal disease or disorder or retinal degradation in a subject and a novel method of restoring retinal pigment epithelium cell compromising the administration of a one or more compounds which modulate Nox4, formation of radical oxygen species, serine protease, a dopamine receptor, NF-kB, mTOR, AMPK, RPE epithelial to mesenchymal transition, RPE dedifferentiation, or one or more Rho GTPases; and kits for administration of the methods.

The invention relates generally to improvements in the treatment of psychotic symptoms, and more particularly, to improvements in the identification of an individual or a population of individuals for whom treatment with iloperidone, an iloperidone metabolite, or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof may provide a particular benefit in treating an individual's psychotic symptoms based on the individual's genotype at the PPEF2 locus.

Compounds that are fatty acid synthesis modulators are provided. The compounds may be used to treat disorders characterized by dysregulation of the fatty acid synthase function by modulating the function and/or the fatty acid synthase pathway. Methods are provided for treating such disorders including viral infections, such as hepatitis C infection, cancer and metabolic disorders, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Provided are methods for treating neurological disorders using compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and compositions thereof.

Inhibitors of a critical brain enzyme, N-acetyltransferase (ANAT), and methods of discovering, making and using the same for the treatment of disease are disclosed.

The invention discloses that ER-negative breast cancers can be converted into ER positive breast cancers, such as to a breast cancer of luminal-like phenotype by treatment with anti-PDGF-CC antibodies. ER-positive breast cancers, including luminal-like breast cancers can be treated with anti-estrogen treatment. On this basis the invention discloses that surprisingly, ER-negative breast cancers can be treated with anti-estrogen treatment, if the treatment is combined with treatment with anti-PDGF-CC antibodies. Said treatment may for example be an adjuvant treatment, for example a treatment aiming at reducing the risk of relapse of a breast cancer after removal of the primary tumor by surgery.
