The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for ophthalmic disease containing thymosin beta 4. The present invention is more effective in reducing xerophthalmia than an ophthalmic solution containing cyclosporine A, is less irritant to eyes than conventional ophthalmic solutions and is physiochemically safe.

The present invention relates, inter alia, to certain hepcidin peptide analogs, including peptides and dimers thereof, and to the use of the peptides and peptide dimers in the treatment and/or prevention of a variety of diseases, conditions or disorders, including treatment and/or prevention of iron overload diseases, which include hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-loading anemias, and other conditions and disorders described herein.

The present invention relates to novel peptides, composition comprising such peptides including nutritional supplements and methods for inducing satiation and satiety, for weight management and preventing or reducing the incidence of obesity, or for preventing or reducing cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, hypertension, hepatosteatosis, cancer and/or diabetes.

A method of eliciting an immune response in a patient who has a cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize the cancer cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of GVYDGEEHSV (SEQ ID NO: 303), in which the peptide is in a complex with an MHC molecule.

Provided are a repair peptide for use in promoting post-traumatic tissue repair and regeneration, and an application thereof. The repair peptide is a linear or cyclic peptide which is 4-15 amino acids in length and which contains four or more consecutive GPANVET core sequences.

The present invention relates to therapeutic and prophylactic methods based on inhibition of CIS in NK cells. In particular, the present invention relates to treating or preventing a NK-responsive condition by administering to a subject a CIS inhibitor, or administering CIS-inhibited NK cells. The invention further relates to methods for identifying a CIS inhibitor, and for determining a likelihood of cancer response to treatment with CIS inhibition.
