Abstract:
Anti-cadherin and anti-ZO-1 agents and compositions, and kits containing them for use in the promotion and/or improvement of wound healing and/or tissue repair, and for anti-scarring, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis and anti-adhesion indications.
Abstract:
A therapeutic and/or cosmetic formulation comprising at least one anti-sense polynucleotide to a connexin protein together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle is useful in site specific down regulation of connexin protein expression, particularly in reduction of neuronal cells death, wound healing, reduction of inflammation, decrease of scar formation and skin rejuvenation and thickening.
Abstract:
This invention concerns improved methods, uses, and kits for treating chronic wounds through the administration of anti-connexin agents, particularly anti-connexin 43 antisense polynucleotides. The methods, uses, and kits of the invention are based on the surprising and unexpected discovery that chronic wounds that do not increase or decrease in size by more than a pre-determined amount during a pre-treatment phase are more amenable to successful treatment than wounds whose size varies outside the target range during the pre-treatment phase.

Abstract:
Connexin protein modulation methods and compositions are provided for the healing of resistant lesions, including lesions on subjects with multiple venous leg ulcers or multiple diabetic foot ulcers, and other responder subjects. Also provided are kits and articles of manufacture comprising a connexin protein modulating agent, for example, a connexin 43 modulating agent for use in the healing of resistant lesions.
