    摘要: The technology described herein is directed to inducible and repressible polypeptides and polypeptide systems. In particular, described herein are split sequence-specific nucleases and split recombinases that are linked to drug-inducible or drug-repressible dimerization domains. In some embodiments, the polypeptides comprise sequestering domains and/or have their expression controlled by an inducible promoter. In multiple aspects described herein are polynucleotides, vectors, cells, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said polypeptides or polypeptide systems. Also described herein are methods of using said polypeptide systems to modulate the expression of a target polypeptide or to treat a subject in need of a cell therapy.

    摘要: A ring resonator optical modulator comprises: an optical region in which optical radiation can propagate in a circular path having an inner radius and an outer radius coincident with an outer perimeter of the ring resonator optical modulator; a MOS capacitor structure having an upper gate device layer and a lower body device layer, and an insulating material being disposed between the upper gate device layer and the lower body device layer; and a cladding region. The optical radiation is confined within the optical region. The insulating material has a first region disposed in the optical region having a first thickness and a second region having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, the second region being disposed radially inwardly from the inner radius of the optical region, such that the optical radiation is radially confined toward the outer side of the inner radius of the optical region.

    摘要: Disclosed is a hormone electrochemical biosensor, e.g. an amperometric biosensor, for the detection of a hormone and measurement of the concentration of a hormone. The disclosed hormone biosensor comprises a hormone-catalyzing enzyme, such as KSDH1. Also described herein are systems comprising an amperometric biosensor, e.g., chronoamperometric biosensor and methods of using the chronoamperometric biosensor.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to, inter alia, a new class of chimeric Notch receptors containing a synthetic zinc finger transcriptional effector (synZTE) module, engineered to modulate gene expression and cellular activities in a ligand-dependent manner. The new Notch receptors surprisingly retain the ability to transduce signals in response to ligand binding despite that the Notch extracellular subunit, which includes the negative regulatory region previously believed to be essential for the functioning of Notch receptors, is partly or completely deleted. In addition, the synZTE is designed to bind orthogonal DNA target sequences in target organisms which in turn facilitates precise regulation of therapeutic gene expression with minimal off-target activity. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for producing such receptors, nucleic acids encoding same, host cells genetically modified with the nucleic acids, as well as methods for modulating an activity of a cell and/or for treatment of various health conditions.
