Publication number: 20240052426Abstract: The present invention relates generally to nucleic acid molecules in respect of which changes to DNA methylation levels are indicative of the onset or predisposition to die onset of a neoplasm. More particularly, the present invention is directed to nucleic acid molecules in respect of which changes to DNA methylation levels are indicative of the onset and/or progression of a large intestine neoplasm, such as an adenoma or adenocarcinoma. The DNA methylation status of the present invention is useful in a range of applications including, but not limited to, those relating to the diagnosis and/or monitoring of colorectal neoplasms, such as colorectal adenocarcinomas. Accordingly, in a related aspect the present invention is directed to a method of screening for the onset, predisposition to the onset and/or progression of a neoplasm by screening for modulation in DNA methylation of one or more nucleic acid molecules.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Jason Peter Ross, Horace Drew, Michael Buckley, Peter Laurence Molloy, Susan Margaret Mitchell, Konsta Rainer Duesing, Zheng-Zhou Xu

Patent number: 9200652Abstract: The fastening device 10 of FIG. 3 is provided for fastening a flexible material to a structure. The fastening device 10 comprises an elongate fastening member 12 having a male portion 11 and a base portion 13. The base portion 13 provides a plurality of indentations 14 at spaced apart intervals along the length of the fastening member 12. The indentations 16 are adapted for securing the fastening member 12 to the structure with the use of fasteners extending through the indentations 16. The male portion 11 is shaped for receiving an elongate clip-type retaining member 24.
