摘要:
Several embodiments are provided of a device which is tunable for providing a walking aid user with passive haptic feedback. The haptic feedback is provided to the user when a predetermined, desired force in the device is reached. The force, often simply an axial force, in the device is inputted by the user, who is looking to support some of his or her body weight, thereby taking some weight off of one or both legs for some purpose. The amount of body weight support the user would input is often expressed in terms of percentage of the user's total body weight, and can therefore be predetermined and the device tuned accordingly.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for inhibiting collagen production mediated by the Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) ribonucleoprotein. As disclosed herein, the C terminal domain of FUS contains an uncommon nuclear localization sequence (NLS) motif called PY-NLS that binds the nuclear import receptor transportin. Phosphorylation of FUS leads to its association with transportin and nuclear translocation with consequent increased in collagen production. Therefore, disclosed herein is an isolated peptide having a transportin-binding moiety, which inhibits FUS from binding transportin, linked to a membrane translocating motif. These compositions and methods can be used to inhibit FUS-mediated collagen production, and treat fibrotic disease involving FUS-mediated collagen accumulation in kidneys and other organs displaying fibrotic diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions concerning isolation of proliferating cells. In particular, the invention regards enrichment of stem cells in a mixture of stem cells and non-stem cells, wherein the non-stem cells may be differentiated cells. The invention exploits the non-adherent property of stem cells, as opposed to the adherent property of differentiating cells, by serially passaging the suspended cells in liquid media.
摘要:
A sensor apparatus includes at least one substrate layer of an elastically deformable material, the substrate layer extending longitudinally between spaced apart ends thereof. A conductive layer is attached to and extends longitudinally between the spaced apart ends of the at least one substrate layer. The conductive layer includes an electrically conductive material adapted to form a strain gauge having an electrical resistance that varies based on deformation of the conductive layer in at least one direction.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating microbial inflammation including its end-stage sepsis and conditions associated with the microbial inflammation such as thrombocytopenia and hypoglycogenemia. In one aspect, the compositions and methods disclosed herein can also be used to enhance clearance of microbes from infected tissues, organs, or systems in a subject. Also disclosed herein are compositions and methods for reducing levels of stress responsible transcription factors and metabolic transcription factors in a cell in a subject with microbial inflammation.
摘要:
An inline implantable connector device can provide an increased volume density to medical device systems in a limited volume. The inline implantable connector device can have a claim-shell design with a first half and a second half, each having a conductive path in a same design. The second half is turned and flipped by 180 degrees to mate with the first half so that the conductive paths interconnect to form electrical and mechanical interconnections that are fundamentally transverse to the direction of the incoming or outgoing lead wires. A first screw hole on a top side of the connector device can accept a screw therethrough; and a second screw hole on a bottom side of the connector device can accept another screw therethrough.

Disclosed are compositions and methods related to the use of sialoglycan as markers for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers and inflammatory conditions. In one aspect, also disclosed herein are engineered probes and chimeric probes with differential binding ability to sialoglycans.
摘要:
The disclosure provides a method to detect sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) and to differentiate SSA/Ps from hyperplastic polyps (HPs). The method uses a molecular signature that is platform-independent and could be used with multiple platforms such as microarray, RNA-seq or real-time quantitative platforms.
