Abstract:
Zebularine has hypomethylating activity, and can be used to inhibit, reverse, and/or reduce DNA methylation in vivo and in vitro. Methods are provided for treating methylation-linked conditions through the application of 2-pyrimidinone derivatives, such as Zebularine. Compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising such derivatives are also provided. Also provided are kits for use in inhibiting DNA methylation, which kits include an amount of a 2-pyrimidinone derivative.
Abstract:
Access for wireless mobile nodes (WMNs) to access points (APs) may be provided via a wireless network where each WMN is associated with a plurality of APs, according to an exemplary embodiment.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for dynamically determining stimuli characteristics for vision defect determination during a vision test. The methods and systems convert the feedback received from the binary suprathreshold test into a feature input that is provided to a prediction model. The prediction model may be trained to predict non-binary characteristics for sets of locations and confidence scores associated with the sets of locations based on feedback indicating binary characteristics under which users see one or more stimuli presented on user interfaces.
Abstract:
This invention provides reagents, pharmaceutical formulations comprising such reagents, and methods for preventing and treating viral infections, specifically coronavirus infections, and in particular infections in humans with COVID-19.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide a parallelized deep learning approach to spectral fitting for magnetic resonance spectroscopy data enabling accurate and rapid spectral fitting and determination of metabolite measurements using a conventional computer. The method may include processing multi-spectra magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy data of a region of interest through a series of neural networks. The method may include determining baseline components of each spectrum using a first neural network of the series, generating baseline-corrected components for each spectrum using the baseline components; and determining one or more peak components of each spectrum using a second neural network of the series and the baseline-corrected components. The method may further include determining one or more metabolite measurements of the one or more metabolites in the region of interest using the one or more peak components.
Abstract:
Activation of STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING) triggers cytokine production and facilitates tumor antigen cross-presentation. In an embodiment of the present invention, STING-dependent innate immune signaling pathway activators (STAVs) can be delivered to antigen presenting cells. In various embodiments of the present invention, the STAVs can be delivered in lipid nanoparticle formulations. In various embodiments of the present invention, the range of cancers amenable to STAV therapy can be extended using a non-cell-based nanoparticle strategy that effectively delivers Nano-STAVs into the Tumor Micro Environment (TME) to potently generate anti-tumor cytotoxic T cell activity. The STAV formulations can be introduced into solid tumors present in the mammal. Alternatively, the Nano-STAVs can be introduced through direct inoculation. The lipid nanoparticles stick to the tumor cells and are co-phagocytosed to activate STING in APC's.

Abstract:
Described herein are materials and methods for stratifying risk for reactivation of a latent viral infection, such as CMV infection. The methods are particularly useful for immune compromised subjects. Also described herein are interventions, including therapeutic, prophylactic, and monitoring interventions, for subjects determined to be at elevated risk.
