摘要:
An ophthalmic composition or dosage form can include a therapeutically effective amount of a cross-linking agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition or dosage form can be used to treat an ophthalmic condition by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the composition to an eye of a subject during a treatment period.
摘要:
Provided are nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides with ribonuclease III activity, wherein the nucleotide sequences have been modified to reduce their regulation by miRNAs. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequences are at least 50% and as much as 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 20 or SEQ ID NO: 22, and/or encode polypeptides that are at least 90% percent identical to SEQ ID NO: 23. Also provided are vectors and host cells that include the nucleotide sequences, methods for expressing the nucleotide sequences in cells, tissues, and organs, which in some embodiments can be in the eye of a subject in need thereof, methods for preventing and/or treating development of diseases or disorders and/or for restoring undesirably low DICER1 expression using the nucleotide sequences, and pharmaceutical compositions that have the presently disclosed nucleotide sequences.
摘要:
Methods, compositions, and systems for treating ischemia-associated and other ocular conditions using cartilage oligo matrix protein-Angiopoietin 1 (COMP-Ang1) are disclosed and described.
摘要:
Methods of inhibiting lymphangiogenesis and/or angiogenesis in a subject are provided. In one aspect, for example, a method of inhibiting angiogenesis in a subject can include binding an antisense morpholino to an mRNA splicing site of VEGFR1 selected from exon13_intron13 junction, intron13_exon14 junction, or a combination thereof. In another aspect, the morpholino includes a member selected from VEGFR1_MOe13, VEGFR1_MOi13, or a combination thereof.
摘要:
An ophthalmic composition or dosage form can include a therapeutically effective amount of a copper-containing agent that is sufficient to increase corneal lysyl oxidase activity in an eye of a subject in an amount sufficient to treat myopic progression and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition or dosage form can be used to treat or prevent progression of myopia by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the composition to an eye of a subject during a treatment period.
摘要:
An intraocular active agent delivery device can include an active agent homogenously combined with a biodegradable active agent matrix such that the entire delivery device is homogenous. The homogenous delivery device can have a shape and size to fit within a lens capsule or ciliary sulcus of an eye and provide a therapeutically effective amount of the active agent to the eye. The biodegradable active agent matrix can be formulated to provide sustained release of the therapeutically effective amount of the active agent during a release period. In some examples, the active agent can include dexamethasone.
摘要:
Devices, systems, and methods for delivery of an active agent from the lens capsule to a posterior segment of the eye of a subject can include an intraocular active agent delivery device including an active agent dispersed within a biodegradable active agent matrix. The active agent includes dexamethasone and the delivery device is adapted to fit within a lens capsule or ciliary sulcus of an eye. The delivery device can be inserted into the lens capsule or ciliary sulcus of an eye during cataract surgery or for treatment of uveitis.
摘要:
Various methods and compositions relating to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) are provided. In one aspect, a method of increasing expression of the soluble form of VEGFR2 (sVEGFR2) in a subject can include binding an antisense morphoiino to an exon13-intron13 splicing site of VEGFR2 mRNA such that the VEGFR2 niRNA is spliced into a sVEGFR2 isoform,
摘要:
Opthalmic compositions are disclosed and described herein. In some embodiments, an ophthalmic composition can include as active agents a copper-containing agent and a secondary therapeutic agent in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The active agents can be present in amounts sufficient to treat myopic progression during a treatment period.
