    摘要: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are galacturonate (GalA) reductase variants comprising at least one amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to K261 and/or R267. The present invention further relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides and to host cells containing said nucleic acid molecules. The present invention further relates to a method for the production of L-galactonate (GalOA) and/or other bio-based compounds, comprising the expression of said nucleic acid molecules, preferably in said host cells. The present invention also relates to the use of the polypeptides, nucleic acids molecule or host cells for the production of L-galactonate (GalOA) and/or other bio-based compounds, and/or for the recombinant fermentation of biomaterial containing D-galacturonate (GalA).

    摘要: A plantar surface pressure offloading system includes an insole capable of coupling with a shoe and interfacing with a foot. A number of compressible bladders and pressure sensors are coupled to the insole. Each bladder has an adjustable compressibility, and each pressure sensor is configured to measure a pressure exerted on a respective portion of the foot. A controller of the system can perform, for each compressible bladder, a compressibility adjustment process including (i) receiving, from a respective pressure sensor associated with a respective bladder, a signal indicative of a pressure exerted on a respective portion of the foot, (ii) determining, based on the signal, that the pressure exerted on the respective portion of the foot exceeds a threshold pressure, and (iii) responsive to the determination, adjusting the compressibility of the respective bladder, thereby offloading pressure from the respective portion of the foot to a different portion of the foot.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of diagnosing a neurodegenerative disease in a mammalian subject, preferably a human subject. The method comprises obtaining RNA from the mammalian subject, and assaying the RNA for an increase in the amount of ΔfosB mRNA or in ratio of the amount of ΔFosB mRNA to the amount of FosB mRNA as compared to that of a control. An increase in the amount of ΔFosB mRNA or the ratio of the amount of ΔFosB mRNA to the amount of FosB mRNA as compared to that of the control is indicative of the presence of the neurodegenerative disease.

    摘要: The invention provides compositions for increasing the clearance of protein aggregates, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and methods for making and using them, including methods for accelerating protein aggregate clearance in the CNS, e.g., for treating diseases that are characterized by protein aggregation - including some degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. In one aspect, the compositions of the invention specifically target synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregates, and the methods of the invention can be used to specifically prevent, reverse, slow or inhibit synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation. In alternative embodiments, the compositions and methods of the invention, are used to treat, prevent, reverse (partially or completely) or ameliorate (including slowing the progression of) degenerative neurological diseases related to or caused by protein aggregation, e.g., synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation. In one aspect, compositions and methods of this invention are used to treat, prevent or ameliorate (including slowing the progression of) Parkinson's disease, fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Lewy body disease (LBD) and Multiple system atrophy (MSA).
