Abstract:
Methods are provided for microbial electrosynthesis of H2 and organic compounds such as methane and acetate. Method of producing mature electrosynthetic microbial populations by continuous culture is also provided. Microbial populations produced in accordance with the embodiments as shown to efficiently synthesize H2, methane and acetate in the presence of CO2 and a voltage potential. The production of biodegradable and renewable plastics from electricity and carbon dioxide is also disclosed.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that can perform double pulsed diffusional kurtosis imaging (DP-DKI). Image data can be received. The image data can be acquired using a double pulsed field gradient (d-PFG) diffusion sequence. A six dimensional (6D) diffusional kurtosis for the image data can be determined. A magnitude of the image data can be determined in terms of the 6D diffusional kurtosis. DP-DKI can isolate the contributions to the d-PFG diffusion sequence, which can represent leading diffusion effects, that cannot be seen from single pulsed field gradient (s-PFG) diffusion sequences.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides isolated integrin αL polypeptides, such as α7 helix polypeptides from the alpha I domain of integrin. Such polypeptides inhibit the interaction between integrin and gp96, thereby inhibiting gp96 activity. Such inhibition can be used to prevent cancer cell growth, cancer metastasis and/or inflammation.

Abstract:
Disclosed are novel inhibitors of the alternative complement pathway and particularly, novel anti-factor B antibodies. Also disclosed is the use of such inhibitors to reduce or prevent airway hyperresponsiveness and/or airway inflammation by selectively inhibiting the alternative complement pathway, thereby treating diseases in which such conditions play a role. Also disclosed is the use of such inhibitors to reduce or prevent other diseases and conditions, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, by inhibition of the alternative complement pathway.
Abstract:
The invention provides a CR2-FH molecule comprising a CR2 portion comprising CR2 protein or a fragment thereof and a FH portion comprising a factor H protein or a fragment thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a CR2-FH molecule. Also provided are methods of using the compositions for treatment diseases in which the alternative complement pathway is implicated, such as age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and ischemia reperfusion.
