Abstract: Provided herein are uses for an immunostimulatory compound for stimulating an immune response when administered either alone or as an adjuvant in a vaccine. Also provided herein are kits, compositions, and methods of administration for the compound described for proliferative disease, inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, or chronic disease, in a subject in need thereof. Using the compound as a vaccine adjuvant enables effective immunization in vulnerable populations.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for inducing HSC specification in a cell. Aspects of the invention relate to contacting a cell with a Runx1-CBF? inhibitor for a specified period of time, and then removing the inhibitor from the cell. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, HSC specificity is maintained long-term.

Abstract: Scan time in diffusion-relaxation magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) is reduced by implementing time-division multiplexing (“TDM”). In general, time-shifted radio frequency (“RF”) pulses are used to excite two or more imaging volumes. These RF pulses are applied to induce separate echoes for each slice. Diffusion MRI data can thus be acquired with different echo times, or alternatively with the same echo time, in significantly reduced overall scan time. Multidimensional correlations between diffusion and relaxation parameters can be estimated from the resulting data.

Abstract: Provided herein are nucleic acid-based nanoswitches that can detect specific nucleic acids and other analytes types by for example a simple gel electrophoresis readout. Binding of the target to the nanoswitches induces a conformation change from a linear, open conformation to a looped, closed conformation. These nanoswitches may be used in diagnostic assays such as nucleic acid-based diagnostic assays, to detect, measure and/or purify a variety of targets including low abundance targets.

Abstract: The technologies as described herein relate to compositions and methods for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies by increasing fetal hemoglobin in a subject.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to methods of objectively detecting and measuring neuropathic pain in a subject.

Abstract: Technologies for the prevention and/or treatment of pneumococcal infections.

Abstract: The present invention provides for novel methods for regulating and detecting the cytosine methylation status of DNA. The invention is based upon identification of a novel and surprising catalytic activity for the family of TET proteins, namely TET1, TET2, TET3, and CXXC4. The novel activity is related to the enzymes being capable of converting the cytosine nucleotide 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by hydroxylation.

Abstract: An ongoing pain detection system and method are provided. The method includes obtaining imaging data from patient using functional near-infrared spectroscopy from at least one cortical region of the brain of a non-responsive patient and observing power spectral density variations in the signal. The measured imaging data is compared with patient pain based on control data to recognize ongoing pain in the non-responsive patient.

Abstract: Products, such as devices, prostheses, and materials, whose surfaces have been modified in order to impart beneficial properties to these products are disclosed. The surface-modified products have improved biocompatibility compared to a corresponding product that lacks the modification. Following implantation in a subject, the surface-modified products induce a lower foreign-body response, compared to a corresponding unmodified product.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and cooptation measurement devices as described herein include an elongate sensor body at the end of a proximal connecting member, and a plurality of sensors in an array across a face of the sensor body, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect if a portion of a heart valve is in contact with the sensor.

Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are improved methods for detecting analytes, including proteins and nucleic acids. In some instances, the analytes are detected in complex matrices such as serum.

Abstract: Provided herein are uses for an immunostimulatory compound for stimulating an immune response when administered either alone or as an adjuvant in a vaccine. Also provided herein are kits, compositions, and methods of administration for the compound described.
