Abstract: The present invention provides a human cell population that can self-renew extensively and yet retain the capacity to differentiate into red blood cells (RBCs). These cells are referred to as extensively self-renewing erythroblasts (ESREs). The cells of the invention serve among other things as a renewable source of transfusable RBCs.

Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions directed to suppressing tumor cell growth in a subject as well as methods for sensitizing a proliferating cell for treatment with a cytotoxic agent via inhibiting expression of HE4 and one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Also provided herein are methods for determining whether a subject who has been diagnosed with cancer would benefit from immunotherapy as well as methods for determining whether a subject with cancer is responding to immunotherapy via assessment of levels of HE4 gene and/or protein expression.

Abstract: A loudspeaker system composed of a flexible panel with an affixed array of force actuators, a signal processing system, and interface electronic circuits is described. The system described is capable of creating a pattern of standing bending waves at any location on the panel and the instantaneous amplitude, velocity, or acceleration of the standing waves can be controlled by an audio signal to create localized acoustic sources at the selected locations in the plane of the panel.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for removing reverberation from signals. The systems and methods can be applicable to audio signals, for example, to voice, musical instrument sounds, and the like. Signals such as the vowel sounds in speech and the sustained portions of many musical instrument sounds can be composed of a fundamental frequency component and a series of harmonically related overtones. The systems and methods can exploit the intrinsically high degree of mutual correlation among the overtones. When such signals are passed through a reverberant channel, the degree of mutual correlation among the partials can be reduced. An inverse channel filter for the removal of reverberation can be found by employing an adaptive filter technique that maximizes the cross-correlation among signal overtones.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for automatically aligning a confocal aperture utilize a confocal imaging system and a computer controlled optimization algorithm such as the Nelder-Mead algorithm for imaging an in-vivo eye having chromatic aberration. When using a confocal aperture of 3.4 Airy disks in diameter, images were obtained using retinal radiant exposures of less than 2.44 J/cm2, which is ˜22 times below the current ANSI maximum permissible exposure. The embodied method can be used, e.g., to study RPE morphology in AMD and other diseases, providing a powerful tool for understanding disease pathogenesis and progression, and offering a new means to assess the efficacy of treatments designed to restore RPE health.

Abstract: A pedicle breach detection device is disclosed. When a pilot hole is created during spinal fusion surgery to facilitate placement of a pedicle screw, it is important to determine if the created hole or tract has breached the vertebrae. A breach can be dangerous to the patient and cause pain, permanent damage, and the necessity for revision surgery. The present invention uses an accelerometer based shaft and ball tip to capture low level mechanical vibrations from the shaft to provide a definitive breach alert to the surgeon using audible, visual, tactile and haptic alert de vices.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a peripheral nerve injury in a subject. The methods include administering to the subject at or near the site of the peripheral nerve injury an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that promotes remyelination of the peripheral nerve. Also provided are methods of determining whether a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery. The methods include selecting a subject with a peripheral nerve injury, administering to the subject a first dose of a composition comprising and agent that promote remyelination and detecting after the first dose one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery, the presence of one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery and the absence of characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury without a capacity for recovery.
