Abstract:
Device, system, and method of visual inference by collaborative composition. A method of searching for similar target content-items for a plurality of source content-items, the method implementable on a computing device, comprises: for each of said plurality of source content-items, searching for similar target content-items in a dataset, while taking into account collaborative feedback exchanged among at least some of currently-searched said plurality of source content-items.
Abstract:
microRNAs and compositions comprising same for the treatment and diagnosis of serotonin-, adrenalin-, noradrenalin-, glutamate-, and corticotropin-releasing hormone-associated medical conditions are provided.
Abstract:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a remarkable tool for probing the brain. However, it is still unclear why specific regions in the cortex are excitable by TMS while others are not. This invention provides methods and tools for the design of efficient magnetic stimulators. Such stimulators can excite neuronal networks that were not sensitive to stimulation until now. Stimulation can be carried out both in-vitro and in-vivo. Novel systems and techniques of this invention will enable both treatment and diagnostics by stimulating regions of the brain or neuronal assemblies that were previously unaffected by TMS.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to peptides, derivatives and analogs comprising an amino acid sequence derived from the transmembrane domain of HIV gp41 protein, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and uses thereof for therapy of inflammatory diseases and disorders, such as T-cell and/or monocyte mediated diseases.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to perylene-diimide aromatic dianion compounds, process of preparation and uses thereof. The perylene-diimide aromatic dianion compounds of this invention are stable in aqueous solution and can be used for photofunctional and electron transfer systems in aqueous phase. This invention is also directed to supramolecular polymers derived from perylene-diimide compounds and to uses thereof. (1) wherein said compound is a dianion; wherein, X is —NR1; Y is —NR2;
Abstract:
In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present technique, there is disclosed a spins selective device, including a first layer comprising a ferromagnetic material. The spin selective device further includes a second layer coupled to the first layer. The second layer includes at least one molecule having a specified chirality, such that when an electrical current flows between the first layer and the second layer one or more regions of the ferromagnetic material become magnetically polarized along a certain direction.
Abstract:
A method of providing a pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue function to a mammalian subject is provided. The method comprises transplanting into the subject a developing mammalian pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ/tissue graft, respectively, thereby generating a functional pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue, respectively, for providing the pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue function, respectively, to the subject.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic composition is provided, comprising chlorophyll or bacteriochlorophyll compounds for photodynamic treatment (PDT) of diseases, disorders and conditions associated with corneal or scleral anomalies such as corneal thinning and scleral stretching.
