Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating a human patient with a pathology by administering to the subject an effective amount of an agent selected from the group of: native full-length CCN3 proteins; analog CCN3 full-length proteins with native cysteine residues substituted by a replacement amino acid; CCNp native peptide fragments having from about 12 to about 20 amino acids; analog CCNp peptide fragments with native cysteine residues substituted with a replacement amino acid; and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a device for testing the strength of a human foot. The device includes a substantially planar member having a top surface and a bottom surface. The device also includes a foot-engaging member moveable along the top surface substantially planar member from a first position to a second position. In addition, the device includes a force sensor fixed with respect to the substantially planar member, where the force sensor resists movement between the first position and the second position. Further, the device includes a tension bearing element connecting the foot-engaging member to the force sensor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a kit for determining male fertility including a container system containing a plurality of enzyme-linked antibodies one of each capable of binding to analytes Atp6v0a2, G-CSF, MIP 1α, and MCP-1. The kit further includes suitable packaging and a set of instructions for using the enzyme-linked antibodies with a seminal sample to determine the fertility of the sample.
