    摘要: The present invention includes methods and kits for determining one or more nucleic acid contributors to a sample or specimen from single cells in a sample, comprising: counting isolated cells and cell types; determining a mixture ratio of isolated cells and cell types; generating amplicons from each cell in the sample; calculating from the counted isolated cells, the cell types, the mixture ratio and amplicons from each single cell; comparing the amplicons a reference or known amplicon profile from a subject suspected of contributing nucleic acids; clustering the cells to contributors; identifying a number of contributors to the biological sample or specimen; generating consensus profiles for each contributor, and comparing the consensus profde of each contributor to a reference or known amplicon profde from a subject suspected of contributing nucleic acids to the biological sample or specimen.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of treating a subject having a proinflammatory endophenotype profile with celecoxib or naproxen to improve cognition or to prevent cognitive decline or dysfunction in the subject. In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of screening a subject for inclusion an NSAID or a PPAR-7 agonist clinical trial. In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of determining a surrogate outcome of an NSAID or a PPAR-7 agonist clinical trial. In yet another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of treating an Alzheimer's disease patient having both a proinflammatory endophenotype profile and a metabolic endophenotype profile with a PPAR-7 agonist to improve cognition or to prevent cognitive decline or dysfunction in the patient.

    摘要: An electromagnetically driven one-dimensional stretching device includes a stretchable surface, and an electromagnetic actuator coupled to the stretchable surface. The electromagnetic actuator is configured to stretch the stretchable surface along one-dimension. A method can include spin-coating a weight ratio of about 10:1 about 1:1 of a polydimethylsiloxane resin to a curing agent mixture on a surface to form a stretchable surface, removing the stretchable surface from the surface, coupling an electromagnetic actuator to the stretchable surface, and stretching the stretchable surface along one-dimension using the electromagnetic actuator.
