Abstract:
A method for producing CAR-M1 macrophages expressing a chimeric antigen receptor in vitro and in vivo includes using a conjugate of a non-viral gene delivery system and a chimeric antigen receptor gene. The CAR-M1 macrophages are produced in vivo by delivering genes encoding a chimeric antigen receptor and IFN-γ, specifically to macrophages in the body, and thus does not require culturing and preparing an in-vitro cellular therapeutic agent, thus reducing the manufacturing costs of therapeutic agents. The CAR-M1 macrophages are a safer therapy since a non-viral vector is used, as compared to the production of CAR-M1 macrophages by gene delivery using a viral vector, and are a novel therapeutic candidate having the advantage of high anticancer efficiency for solid cancers, due to CAR-M1 macrophages in which intrinsic properties of macrophages infiltrating solid cancers and cancer cell phagocytosis are improved.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to antagonist microorganisms for inhibiting fire blight and a composition for preventing or inhibiting fire blight comprising the same as an active ingredient, and provides antagonist microorganisms exhibiting excellent antagonistic ability against a causative bacterium, Erwinia amylovora. According to the present invention, the antagonist microorganisms for inhibiting fire blight isolated in Korea are provided to replace a biological control agent for inhibiting fire blight, which requires enormous costs depending on imports.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-contact portable tonometry system and tonometry method using a difference in infrared intensity. A nozzle module receives compressed air from a compressed air supply source and sprays the same through an air spray port to a cornea of a subject, thus to cause corneal deformation. An infrared ray sensor is disposed in the nozzle module to emit infrared rays to the cornea and measure an amount of light reflected from the cornea. A controller converts the amount of light measured by the infrared ray sensor before and after the deformation of corneal into intraocular pressure.
Abstract:
Provided is an electronic device including a communication module, a memory, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory, and the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the at least one processor to: receive a first sentence via the communication module; identify a first newly coined word included in the first sentence; obtain a second sentence by identifying a first alternative word corresponding to the first newly coined word, and replacing the first newly coined word in the first sentence with the first alternative word; obtain a third sentence by correcting a grammatical error in the second sentence based on the first alternative word occurring the grammatical error when replacing the first newly coined word; and transmit the third sentence to an external device via the communication module. Other embodiments can be made.
Abstract:
A low-power double-quadrature receiver is disclosed. The double-quadrature receiver includes a quadrature signal generator configured to generate a first quadrature signal and a second quadrature signal based on each component of a differential input signal, and a switching stage configured to perform down-conversion on the first quadrature signal and the second quadrature signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of controlling local release of target compounds by patterning a hydrogel carrying a bone morphogenetic protein as the target compounds on a nanoporous membrane. The nanoporous membrane is capable of controlling local release of the bone morphogenetic protein as a carrier of the bone morphogenetic protein while performing a basic function of the membrane of preventing infiltration of connective tissue, and thus, there is an advantage in that the nanoporous membrane can facilitate generation of controlled bone in a local region.
