    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of inhibiting reactive astrocyte mediated neuronal and/or oligodendrocyte cell death in a subject. In one embodiment, the method involves administering an inhibitor of Elongation of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Protein 1 (ELOVL1) to a subject having or at risk of having a condition mediated by reactive astrocytes, where the ELOVL1 inhibitor is administered in an amount effective to inhibit reactive astrocyte mediated neuronal and/or oligodendrocyte cell death in the subject. In another embodiment, the method involves administering an inhibitor of lipoapoptosis to a subject having or at risk of having a condition mediated by reactive astrocytes, where the inhibitor of lipoapoptosis is administered in an amount effective to inhibit reactive astrocyte mediate neuronal and/or oligodendrocyte cell death in the subject.

    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for using the compositions to modify eukaryotic chromosomes. The methods involve iteratively inserting DNA payloads into a chromosomal locus, or into multiple chromosomal loci. The methods utilize positive and negative selection approaches in combination with one or more recombinases to select cells that contain a payload, eliminate cells that do not contain a payload, and sequentially replace contiguous segments of the chromosome with subsequent payload insertions. Modified cells, and modified mammals containing modified cells, are included.

    Abstract: The present invention provides individual nasal molding devices and methods of making and using the same. This novel technique of pre-surgical nasal molding therapy is ideal for all patients with unilateral and bilateral clefts, including medically compromised patients or patients living far from the cleft centers and periodic office visits are not practical. It is also ideal for patients with incomplete clefts with significant nasal deformity without the involvement of the alveolus or the palate. Postsurgery, the devices can also be used as a nostril retainer to prevent scar contracture and relapse of the primary correction of the nose. The nasal molding devices can be customized for each infant or be provided in standard sizes for ease of utilization and mass production.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for joint distraction during surgical applications. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for joint distraction during any arthroscopic surgery, comprising: a drape configured for covering at least a portion of a patient during surgery, the drape having a top surface and a bottom surface and is configured to be disposed above the patient when in use during surgery, wherein the drape comprises an opening configured to accept a limb, and an inflatable member, wherein the inflatable member is positioned adjacent to the opening, and is inflated by a fluid from a deflated state to an inflated state.
