  • Patent number: 10301592
    Abstract: Described is the efficient and robust generation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and oligodendrocytes from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The protocols provided recapitulate the major steps of oligodendrocyte differentiation, from neural stem cells to OLIG2+progenitors, and then to 04+ OPCs, in a significantly shorter time than the 120-150 days required by previous protocols. Furthermore, 04+ OPCs are able to differentiate into MBP+mature oligodendrocytes in vitro, and to myelinate axons in vivo when injected into immuno-compromised Shiverer mice, providing proof of concept that transplantation of PSC-derived cells for remyelination is technically feasible.

  • Patent number: 10301669
    Abstract: A method for sequence-specifically detecting a nucleic acid molecule. The method requires: a) contacting in an absence of an electric field, a mixture of nucleic acid molecules with a base pairing hybridizing molecule (BPHM) having a sequence of interest in a first solution and obtaining a hybrid consisting the nucleic acid molecule and the BPHM; b) introducing the first solution from step (a) into an ITP system, the ITP system comprises a second solution of high effective mobility leading electrolyte (LE) ions and a third solution of low effective mobility trailing electrolyte (TE); and c) applying the electric field across the second solution and the third solution. The hybrid focus at the sharp LE-TE interface in the ITP system. The TE has a higher mobility than the BPHM and the TE has a lower mobility than the hybrid. Sequence-specifically the detecting nucleic acid molecule by a signal from a label.
