Compounds and compositions comprising fragments and synthetic analogs of human thrombospondin are provided together with methods for their use as thrombospondin-like agents.
Pharmaceutical compositions and dressings useful in wound healing are provided. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise thrombospondin as the active ingredient.
The present invention relates generally to polypeptides that mimic or inhibit the biological activity of thrombospondin, and particularly to polypeptides in retroinverso form. These polypeptides may be used for their biological and pharmaceutical applications such as: (a) inhibiting the invasive and ...
The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating cancer and chemotherapy-resistant cancers comprising a chemotherapeutic agent conjugated to or coadministered with a peptide.
The present invention provides the sequence of a cell matrix receptor specific for the Cys-Ser-Val-Thr-Cys-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 1) region of thrombospondin. Also provided are purification, cloning and expression methods. The receptor protein is useful in numerous diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic ...
