摘要:
An implant comprising a porous microstructure is disclosed which has an external surface, where at least a region of the external surface is formed of the porous microstructure. The microstructure is defined by at least one lattice of cells. Each cell has a predetermined cell topology and a plurality of edges. One or more of the edges of each cell connect to an adjacent cell along a corresponding edge thereof. Collectively, the cells have a periodic or aperiodic arrangement within the at least one lattice.

摘要:
The invention encompasses the novel class of compounds represented by the Formula (I) below, which are inhibitors of the TC-PTP enzyme. The invention also encompasses pharmaceutical compositions which include the compounds shown above and methods of treating or preventing TC-PTP mediated diseases, including cancer, via their use in the activation of antigen-presenting cells, like dendritic cells, for applications in the immunotherapeutic treatment of diseases.
摘要:
Disclosed are nucleic acid molecules from the genome of Dirofilaria spp. nematodes that contain single nucleotide polymorphisms related to reduced responsiveness of the nematodes to macrocyclic lactones. In one example, the species of Dirofilaria is Dirofilaria immitis (the agent of heartworm in animals). Also disclosed are methods for determining the responsiveness of Dirofilaria spp. nematodes to macrocyclic lactones, methods for selecting a treatment to treat an animal infected with a Dirofilaria spp. nematode, and kits for determining the responsiveness of Dirofilaria spp. nematodes to macrocyclic lactones.
