摘要:
Disclosed is a mobile terminal including, first and second bodies rotatably coupled to each other, and a driving unit configured to allow a relative rotation of the first and second bodies between a closed configuration and an open configuration, the first and second bodies being overlaid by each other in the closed configuration and rotated away from each other in the open configuration, wherein the driving unit includes rotation motion units connected to each of the first and second bodies and configured to generate the relative rotation, and slide motion units cooperatively operating with the rotation motion unit and configured to relatively slide the first and second bodies with respect to the driving unit between the closed configuration and the open configuration.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods (assays) for detecting and/or quantifying sAPPβ, a secreted β-secretase (BACE1) cleavage fragment of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP), in a biological sample. One such method includes contacting a biological sample with a first antibody that selectively binds to a BACE1 cleavage site on sAPPβ and detecting the presence of the antibody. Also provided are compositions, including antibodies that selectively bind to the BACE1 cleavage site of sAPPβ. Kits containing such compositions are also provided. Methods of diagnosing a neurodegenerative disease, such as AD, using the methods and compositions of the present invention are further provided. Methods for identifying BACE1 modulators, candidate compounds that are BACE1 modulators, and methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating neurodegenerative disease, such as AD, using such compounds or pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds are also provided.
摘要:
Provided are a recombinant microorganism capable of producing polylactate (PLA) or hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymers and a method of preparing PLA or hydroxyalkanoate-lactate copolymers using the same. The recombinant microorganism has both a gene encoding a propionyl-CoA transferase from Megasphaera elsdenii and a gene encoding a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase using lactyl-CoA as a substrate.A propionyl-CoA transferase from Megasphaera elsdenii is introduced into the recombinant microorganism to effectively provide lactyl-CoA, thereby enabling efficient preparation of PLA or PLA copolymers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of agents that inhibit the toxic effects of amyloid oligomers by increasing intracellular levels of phosphoinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P, or “PIP”) and/or phosphotidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PI(4,5)P2 or “PIP2”), the use of such agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, methods of treating neurodegenerative diseases by administration of agents which alter lipid metabolism, and methods of identifying agents which alter the association of presenilins with γ-secretase and lipid rafts.
