摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of DBH inhibitors (e.g., disulfiram and Nepicastat), and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, for treating subjects with certain types of memory loss, for instance memory loss associated with a neurodegenerative disease, disorder, or condition, such as Alzheimer's Disease.

Microfluidic structures and methods for manipulating fluids, fluid components, and reactions are provided. In one aspect, such structures and methods can allow production of droplets of a precise volume, which can be stored/maintained at precise regions of the device. In another aspect, microfluidic structures and methods described herein are designed for containing and positioning components in an arrangement such that the components can be manipulated and then tracked even after manipulation. For example, cells may be constrained in an arrangement in microfluidic structures described herein to facilitate tracking during their growth and/or after they multiply.

Described herein is a glass bottle configured to improve the mechanics of liquid flow and prevent drip initiation. Additionally, the glass bottle eliminates dripping during pouring to enable drip-free pouring. The dripping is prevented over a full range of pouring angles, which vary depending on the amount of liquid held in the glass bottle. A method of making the glass bottle and a method of enabling drip-free pouring using the glass bottle are also disclosed.

Disclosed are oligonucleotides that binds specifically to HIV neutralizing monoclonal antibody 2G12 with a K4 value lower than 20 nM, the oligonucleotide comprising a predicted structure, at 37° C., having exactly one stem-loop whereby the loop comprises the nucleotide sequence of AACCNACGGANAAA (SEQ ID NO: 1), where N is a modified nucleoside base, and the stem includes at least 3 nucleotide base-pairs and one of the nucleotides in the stem includes a modified nucleoside base, wherein the modified nucleoside base has the structure -B-L-A where A is a branched-chain Man9 oligosaccharide, L is a linker molecule, and B is independently a pyrimidine or pyridine base linked to the sugar-phosphate backbone of the oligonucleotide. Immunogenic conjugates that include the oligonucleotide, and pharmaceutical compositions that include the oligonucleotide or the immunogenic conjugate are also disclosed. Various method of using the oligonucleotides, immunogenic conjugates, and pharmaceutical compositions are also disclosed.

The present technology relates to foodstuffs that contain a substantially anhydrous fatty food that is solid at room temperature and comprises a substantially anhydrous probiotic bacterial preparation dispersed therein. Methods of making such substantially anhydrous fatty foods are also disclosed
摘要:
Microfluidic structures and methods for manipulating fluids and reactions are provided. Such structures and methods may involve positioning fluid samples, e.g., in the form of droplets, in a carrier fluid (e.g., an oil, which may be immiscible with the fluid sample) in predetermined regions in a microfluidic network. In some embodiments, positioning of the droplets can take place in the order in which they are introduced into the microfluidic network (e.g., sequentially) without significant physical contact between the droplets. Because of the little or no contact between the droplets, there may be little or no coalescence between the droplets. Accordingly, in some such embodiments, surfactants are not required in either the fluid sample or the carrier fluid to prevent coalescence of the droplets. Structures and methods described herein also enable droplets to be removed sequentially from the predetermined regions.
摘要:
New systems and methods are described for maintaining a desired steady state temperature differential between two objects that may otherwise undergo heat transfer to restore thermal steady state. In one application, a cooling microscope assembly and its use with conventional optical microscopes are described for achieving super-resolution imaging. The assembly allows for the high resolution imaging of samples at cryogenic temperatures while maintaining the temperature of the objective lens above freezing by employing circulation systems and a coupling fluid between the sample and objective lens.
