Publication number: 20210262034Abstract: The invention provides a method for identifying or detecting small RNA (sRNA) predictors of a disease or a condition. The method comprises identifying one or more sRNA sequences that are present in one or more samples of an experimental cohort, and which are not present across a comparator cohort; and optionally identifying one or more sRNA sequences that are present in one or more samples of a comparator cohort, and which are not present across an experimental cohort. In contrast to identifying dysregulated non-coding RNAs (such as miRs that are up- or down-regulated), the invention identifies sRNAs that are binary predictors, that is, present in one cohort (e.g., an experimental cohort) and not another (e.g., a comparator cohort). Further, by quantifying reads for individual sequences (e.g., iso-miRs), without consolidating reads to annotated reference sequences, the invention unlocks the diagnostic utility of miRs and other sRNAs.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventor: David Salzman

Publication number: 20200165676Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and kits for evaluating Huntington's disease (HD) activity, including in patients undergoing treatment for HD or a candidate treatment for HD, as well as in animal and cell models. Specifically, the present disclosure provides biomarkers (sRNA predictors) that are binary predictors of disease activity, and are useful for detecting and/or evaluating HD disease stage, grade and progression, prognosis, and response to therapy or candidate therapy. The biomarkers are further useful in the context of drug discovery and clinical trials, to identify candidate pharmaceutical interventions (or other therapies) that are useful for the treatment of disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2018Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventor: David SALZMAN

Publication number: 20080056986Abstract: A fuel for splitting water into hydrogen and an oxide component comprises a substantially solid pellet formed from a solid-like mixture of a solid-state source material capable of oxidizing in water to form hydrogen and a passivation surface layer of the oxide component, and a passivation preventing agent that is substantially inert to water in an effective amount to prevent passivation of the solid-state material during oxidation. The pellets may be introduced into water or other suitable oxidizer in a controlled rate to control the rate of reaction of the source material with the oxidizer, and thereby control the rate of formation of hydrogen. Methods are described for producing the solid-like mixture in varying weight percent of source material to passivation preventing agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Inventors: Jerry Woodall, Eric Harmon, Kurt Koehler, Jeffrey Ziebarth, Charles Allen, Yuan Zheng, Jong-Hyeok Jeon, George Goble, David Salzman

Publication number: 20070108435Abstract: A novel technique for manufacturing nanostructures and nanostructure is disclosed. The invention exploits techniques to deposit a second semiconductor material on a first semiconductor material with incomplete coverage of the second layer, and forming the nanostructures by filling the holes in the second semiconductor layer with a third semiconductor material. This allows the production of nanowires, nanorods, nanocylinders, and nanotubes with a controllable density and size distribution. Additionally, contact can be made to the bottom of the nanostructures through the first semiconductor layer allowing large area contacts to arrays of nanostructures to be formed. Similarly, contact can be made to the top of the nanostructure by direct deposition of a large area contacting layer. This allows the formation of nanostructure diodes and other nanostructure interconnections.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: Eric Harmon, Jerry Woodall, David Salzman

Patent number: 7179731Abstract: The invention, called hypercontacting, achieves a very high level of activated doping at an exposed surface region of a compound semiconductor. This enables production of low resistance ohmic contacts by creating a heavily doped region near the contact. Such region lowers the contact's tunneling barrier by decreasing the extent of the depletion region at the contact, thereby reducing resistance.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Inventors: Eric Harmon, David Salzman, Jerry Woodall
