Abstract: The role of JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway cellular mechanisms that lead to the onset and progression of degenerative joint diseases or disorders such as osteoarthritis (OA) is disclosed. Certain known effective OA therapeutics such as hymenialdisine, debromohymenialdisine, and its variants and derivatives are shown to function as JAK3-specific inhibitors, which downregulate steady state mRNA levels of key cellular components involved in cartilage degradation. Another JAK3-specific inhibitor, not previously known as an OA therapeutic, is shown to downregulate steady state m RNA levels of various cellular components involved in cartilage degradation in a manner identical to that of the known OA therapeutics. 
Assays for detecting compounds useful for treating a disease or disorder involving cartilage degradation comprising (a) contacting JAK3 with a candidate compound and (b) detecting a decrease in JAK3 activity, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Phase change solvents for thermoplastic polymers to provide blended compositions. Above the phase change temperature of the solvent, the phase change solvent solubilizes or intimately mixes with the thermoplastic polymer. Below the phase change temperature of the solvent, the phase change solvent solidifies or crystallizes within the thermoplastic matrix. The phase change behavior of these materials produce blended compositions that exhibit lowered shear viscosity and lowered processing temperature without substantially compromising mechanical properties of the thermoplastic polymer. The present invention also relates to a method of improving the processability of a thermoplastic polymer using the phase change solvent.
