Homozygous IKKepsilon knockout mouse as an animal model for influenza virus infection

Homozygous IKKepsilon (inhibitor of kappaB kinase epsilon) mutant mice are used as animal models for influenza virus infection. Homozygous deletion results in a complete loss of the endogenous kinase function in lung, spleen, and embryonic…

A novel color filter array design scheme significantly reduces hardware complexity

In digital imaging applications, data are typically obtained via a spatial sub-sampling procedure implemented as a color filter array (CFA). CFA assigns a separate primary color to each pixel by placing a filter of that color over the pixel. The…

Corticospinal tract (CST)-YFP transgenic mice for monitoring axonal responses to spinal cord injury

Hemizygous transgenic mouse strain B6.Cg-Tg(Thy1-EYFP)15Jrs/J (also known as Thy-STOP-YFP) was developed by Dr. Joshua R. Sanes at Harvard University. The mouse strain harbors an Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein (EYFP) controlled by mouse thymus…

Protein-based therapies using quantitatively designed proteins

A bipartite, quantitatively designed protein having two discrete ligands and a linker; one ligand having the ability to strongly bind to a particular cell, the other having the ability to affect a target only when the previous ligand binds. For many…

In vitro models and method of treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

It has been impossible to isolate viable human motor neurons from patients or from postmortem samples to investigate the mechanisms leading to neural degeneration in ALS. A potential solution is to use embryonic stem cells (ESC) as a renewable…

Control over deposition of nanoscale materials using structured surfaces

The ability to precisely localize and control deposition of materials at the nanoscale is extremely important for a wide variety of emerging technologies. Many unique physical properties emerge only at the nanoscale and it is very useful to be able…
