摘要:
A catheter control system may include a containment structure, a sensor coupled to the containment structure, and a plurality of actuators coupled to the containment structure. The containment structure may define a lumen configured to allow a fluid to flow therethrough, and a plurality of openings in fluid communication with the lumen. The sensor may be configured to detect a current position and/or orientation of the containment structure. Each of the actuators may be associated with at least one respective opening of the plurality of openings and configured to regulate fluid flow through the at least one respective opening.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to devices used for transplanting or recruiting cells, in addition to methods for making said devices and for using said devices in the treatment of medical disorders.
摘要:
Methods for probing the distribution and distance of the cell surface receptors and using the same to make multivalent ligands targeting said receptors are disclosed. Methods for making the multivalent ligands and detecting or imaging cells expressing receptors using the compounds are also provided.
摘要:
Embodiments described herein generally relate to devices, methods and systems for determining differential blood oxygenation for early detection of pressure ulcers. By applying near infrared radiation of an appropriate wavelength to the tissue and determining the absorbance at a plurality of points where the distance between the source of the near infrared radiation and the detector are known, the oxygenation state of the hemoglobin can be determined based on position in a three-dimensional space.
摘要:
Disclosed are self-assembling nanoparticle compositions that comprise a plurality of cationic cell penetrating peptides, each covalently linked to a hydrophobic therapeutic molecule (e.g., an antigenic peptide, mRNA, siRNA, DNA, or the like), and optionally, non- covalently bound to at least one TLR (Toll-like receptor) ligand. Also disclosed are methods for use of the nanoparticle compositions in the treatment, prophylaxis, and/or the amelioration of one or more symptoms of a mammalian disease, including, without limitation, cancer, infection, inflammation, and related diseases and abnormal conditions.
摘要:
Antibodies and antibody fragments that specifically bind to LILRB2 are disclosed. Also provided herein are compositions comprising antibodies and antibody fragments that specifically bind to LILRB2 and methods of use thereof. Also provided are related chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and cells comprising same (e.g., T cells, natural killer cells, or macrophages), and uses of the CARs and cells in targeting tumors and killing them, asthma treatment, or in targeting and removing infected cells (e.g., to treat infections or infectious diseases), or in suppressing immune system cells, as involved in autoimmune disease or transplant rejection.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates generally to methods for the prognosis and management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as well as associated compositions, kits, solid supports and uses.
摘要:
Provided herein are nanoparticles configured for the rapid detection of disease-specific peptides from patient samples, including blood-based samples. Also provided are methods of measuring the level of an infection by isolation and quantification of disease-specific peptides from patient samples. The nanoparticles may act as a co-matrix for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.
摘要:
Disclosed are biocompatible core/shell compositions suitable for the delivery of populations of mRNA molecules to mammalian cells. The disclosed core-shell structured multicomponent compositions are optimized for the delivery of mRNAs encoding one or more cancer- or tumor-specific antigens to a population of antigen presenting cells, including, for example, human dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells. Also disclosed are methods for use of these compositions as therapeutic cancer vaccines.
摘要:
Systems and methods for orthognathic surgical planning are described herein. An example computer-implemented method can include generating a composite three-dimensional (3D) model of a subject's skull, defining a global reference frame for the composite 3D model, performing a cephalometric analysis on the composite 3D model to quantify at least one geometric property of the subject's skull, performing a virtual osteotomy to separate the composite 3D model into a plurality of segments, performing a surgical simulation using the osteotomized segments, and designing a surgical splint or template for the subject.
