Abstract: Devices that can transport biological materials are described. The devices incorporate capillary channeled fibers that can effectively transport living cells as well as other biological materials such as nutrients, growth factors, waste materials, etc. The devices can include a sorptive material at one end of the fibers that can improve transport of materials through the devices. The devices can differentially transport different cell types, particularly when the fibers are held in a vertical orientation. Diagnostic devices that incorporate the capillary channeled fibers are described that can be utilized to separate cell types from one another. Tissue engineering scaffolds that incorporate the capillary channeled fibers are described that can more efficiently transport materials into and out of the scaffolds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to modified avian eggs which can be used to produce increased levels of virus. The present invention also relates to methods of producing viruses in avian eggs of the invention, as well as the use of the viruses obtained to prepare vaccine compositions.

Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and methods are provided for covalently linking an antibody or an antibody fragment to a cargo molecule, such as a therapeutic or a diagnostic agent, using a combination of enzymatic glycan remodeling and click chemistry. The method allows a cargo molecule to be selectively and efficiently attached post-translationally to an antibody or an antibody fragment. Also provided are antibody drug conjugates, methods of making, and uses thereof.

Abstract: Herein provided is a new soybean variety designated ‘G13LL-44’ as well as the seeds, plants and derivatives of the new soybean variety ‘G13LL-44’. Also provided are tissue cultures of the new soybean variety ‘G13LL-44’ and the plants regenerated therefrom. Methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the new soybean variety ‘G13LL-44’ with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods are also provided. ‘G13LL-44’ is a MG VII line with glufosinate tolerance technology, and with resistance to race 3 of the soybean cyst nematode and frogeye leaf spot, and moderate resistance to southern root-knot nematode. ‘G13LL-44’ yielded 1.4 bu/ac (2.3%) greater than its recurrent parent ‘G00-3213’, across 11 environments and 0.5 bu/ac more than the high-yielding check cultivar ‘AG738 RR’. ‘G13LL-44’ provides a high yielding glufosinate tolerant soybean cultivar with superior nematode resistance.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to synthetic oligosaccharide subunits of the Pseudomonas exosaccharide Psi and uses thereof, e.g., for epitope mapping of anti-Psl antibodies, for identification of anti-Psl antibodies, and for use as vaccines. In one aspect a synthetic oligosaccharide subunit of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Psl oligosaccharide is provided, comprising the trisaccharide of formula I.

Abstract: Nanoparticles include a core, a hydrophilic layer around the core, and one or more mitochondrial targeting moieties, and may optionally include one or more contrast agents or one or more therapeutic agents. For effective mitochondrial targeting the nanoparticles have a diameter of about 200 nm or less or have a zeta potential of about 0 mV or more.

Abstract: As disclosed herein, stapled peptides targeting the interaction interface between proteins that maintain the integrity of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family member 3 (WASF3) leads to destabilization of WASF3 and suppression of invasion. Disclosed are stapled peptides that inhibit the binding of Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 1 (CYFIP1) to either WASF3 or NCK-associated protein (NCKAP1). Also disclosed are methods for treating or suppressing invasion and metastasis of a cancer in a subject that involve administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a stapled peptide disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present application provides methods of igniting a fuel source with a lighter fluid composition including fusel oil; self-lighting charcoal briquettes infused with fusel oil, flammable compositions including fusel oil, methods of making flammable compositions including fusel oil, and lighter devices including fusel oil.

Abstract: The subject invention relates in part to a combination of a cadherin peptide derived from Alphitobius diaperinus and a Cry protein capable of inhibiting an insect. In certain embodiments, the combination is capable of overcoming Cry protein resistance in insects that are resistant to the Cry protein alone.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Nandina plant named ‘ZhNan53’, characterized by a combination of compact growing form, dense foliage, red fall foliage persistent to 6 months, no seed, and no notable disease and pest.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Nandina plant named ‘ZhNan102’, characterized by a combination of compact growing form, dense foliage, golden yellow fall foliage persistent to 6 months, no seed, and no notable disease and pest.

Abstract: The new variety ‘TH-1334’ ripens around mid-April in southeastern Georgia. The fruit of the new variety ‘TH-1334’ are very large, firm, have good flavor and scar. The new variety ‘TH-1334’ is vigorous with an estimated chilling requirement of about 50 to 100 hours at or below approximately 7° C. The asexually reproduced variety is reliably propagated vegetatively.
