  • Patent number: 12169286
    Abstract: A device for creating a patterned field on a diopter includes: an objective lens within whose image focal plane the surface of the diopter lies; a light injection element emitting a collimated light beam; and an optical assembly between the element and the objective lens by which the object plane of the objective lens is optically conjugate with the image plane of the element. The assembly is configured so a collimated light beam from the element is emitted towards the objective lens to be reflected towards the surface of the diopter with an angle of incidence?the critical angle of the diopter, an optical device for forming patterns is in the object plane of the element, so the pattern formed by the optical device for forming patterns in transmitted light on the light beam in the object plane of the element is on the surface of the diopter.

  • Patent number: 12140594
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non invasive diagnostic method of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in a subject said method comprising the step of measuring the level of ?ig-h3 protein in a blood sample wherein the serum level of ?ig-h3 is positively correlated with the risk of having a PDAC. By following studies on 2 distinct cohorts of 20 and 104 of PDAC patients, and on PDAC mouse model, the inventors show that ?ig-h3 can be directly detected in the blood sample and ?ig-h3 is expressed very early in tumorigenesis in pancreatic neoplastic lesions. The present invention also relates to antagonist of ?ig-h3 protein, for use in the treatment of PDAC. The inventors found that ?ig-h3 bind directly on CD8+ T cells by reducing their activation and cytotoxic properties. Furthermore, the use of neutralizing ?ig-h3 antibodies in PDAC mouse model, reduced tumor growth by enhancing CD8+ T cell anti-tumoral response.

  • Patent number: 12138111
    Abstract: Because of the increase of the obesity related diseases, it is desirable to be able to detect a fatty liver and quantify the content in fat for the fatty liver. Known methods are biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging. However, biopsy is an invasive method and magnetic resonance imaging is a complicated method to carry out. The inventors propose a new ultrasonic method, which is more compliant with a regular control of the content in fat for the fatty liver for a subject. This method notably relies on a smart exploitation of the coherence properties of ultrasound pulses applied to the liver. This method has already been validated on sane subjects as providing accurate measurements, notably for fat content.
