    Abstract: A mechanical finger has a base. A proximal phalanx and a distal phalanx is provided with a first epicyclic joint between the base and proximal phalanx, and a second epicyclic joint between the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx. A distal four-bar mechanism includes the proximal phalanx, the distal four-bar mechanism coupled to the distal phalanx. A nail is optionally provided and has a joint mechanism movably connecting the nail to the distal most one of the phalanges between a stowed position in which a grasping tip of the nail is concealed in the distal most one of the phalanges, and a deployed configuration in which the grasping tip projects out of the distal most one of the phalanges.

    Abstract: A highly pure lignin comprising a lignin content of at least 97% and characterized by a low carbohydrate content and substantially no sulfur content is disclosed herein. An organosolv process for extracting the highly pure lignin is also disclosed herein. The process comprises pretreating a lignocellulosic material in a first polar protic solvent, to remove extractive compounds and to provide a pretreated lignocellulosic material; and treating the pretreated lignocellulosic material with a Lewis acid in a second polar protic solvent.

    Abstract: A method for synthesizing a protein of interest within a plant or a portion of a plant is provided. The method involves treating the plant to increase secondary leaf biomass production, followed by introducing one or more than one nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein of interest operatively linked with a regulatory region that is active in the plant, into the plant. The plant is then maintained under conditions that permit the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein of interest to be expressed in the plant or the portion of the plant. Optionally, the plant or portion of the plant may be harvested and the protein of interest extracted.

The optogenetic probe also includes at least one optical channel, each including an optical channel glass material having a refractive index larger than a refractive index of the body glass material, so as to guide light therealong. The optogenetic probes also includes at least one electrical channel, each including an electrical channel structure having an electrical conductivity larger than the electrical conductivity of the body glass material, so as to conduct electricity therealong. The optogenetic probe further includes at least one fluidic channel, each adapted for transporting fluid therealong. Each optical, electrical and fluidic channel extends longitudinally within the elongated body.

    Abstract: The present application discloses that reduced copy number variations (CNVs) in UGT2B17 and UGT2B28 were significantly associated with bRFS while no significant association was observed for additional UGT variants tested. The co-occurrence of two or more deletions of UGT2B17 and UGT2B28 genes resulted in an HR of 1.377 (95% CI [1.105; 1.716]; p=0.004) for Caucasians and 2.151 (95% CI [1.239; 3.372]; p=0.006) for Asians. In all studied men, risk of BCR was 1.510; 95% CI [1.178 - 1.950]; p=0.001 ). The addition of the UGT2B CNV status in the D'Amico risk classification further enhanced the risk prediction mainly for the low and intermediate risk categories (Log-rank test, p=0.022 and 0.011, respectively). In addition, after adjusting for all clinicopathologic risk factors, we found a strong association between the risk of BCR and 7 SNPs in SRD5A genes. The combination of 2 SNPs respectively in SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 were highly favourable, reducing drastically the risk of BCR for carriers of 3-4 alleles (HR=0.34; 95% CN0.18- 0.64; P=9x10"4). Other variations in the SRD5A2 gene were associated with an increased rate of BCR, namely the coding SNPs rs523349 with a HR of 2.12 (95% CI, 1.21 -3.75; P=0.009) and reaching 4.97 when combined with deleted copies of UGT2B genes (95% CI, 2.38-10.36; P=0.00002). Further, BCR-free survival rate was significantly reduced to 27% in patients with unfavourable genotypes compared to 75% for patients with favourable genotypes (P=7x10 -6 ). This study is the first to recognize CNV in genes at the end of the androgenic signal as significant and independent predictors of PCa recurrence after prostatectomy. In addition, inherited polymorphisms in the SRD5A and UGT2B genes are independent predictors of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
