Abstract: Summarizing the invention, a computer-implemented method is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises: allocating, by an operating system kernel, a physical memory block for a privileged function; storing, by the operating system kernel, the privileged function in the physical memory block; creating, by the operating system kernel, an entry for the physical memory block in a mapping table, wherein the entry associates the physical memory block to a virtual memory block in an address space of a program; setting, by the operating system kernel, a security bit for the entry in the mapping table; executing, by a processor, the program in unprivileged mode; and if the program requests the privileged function: checking, by the processor, whether the security bit is set; if the security bit is set, switching, by the processor, execution to kernel mode for performing the privileged function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a patient-specific tumor treatment targeting individual expression patterns of tumor antigens, in particular shared tumor antigens, and individual tumor mutations. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating cancer in a patient comprising the steps of: (i) inducing a first immune response against one or more tumor antigens in the patient, and (ii) inducing a second immune response against one or more tumor antigens in the patient wherein the second immune response is specific for cancer specific somatic mutations present in cancer cells of the patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stabilization of RNA, in particular mRNA, and an increase in mRNA translation. The present invention particularly relates to a modification of RNA, in particular in vitro-transcribed RNA, resulting in increased transcript stability and/or translation efficiency. According to the invention, it was demonstrated that certain sequences in the 3?-untranslated region (UTR) of an RNA molecule improve stability and translation efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences that are characteristic of tumor tissues such as ovarian tumor and lung tumor tissues and which represent targets for therapy or diagnosis of tumor diseases in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for stimulating an immune response. In particular, the present invention relates to immunostimulatory RNA molecules comprising sequences derived from an Influenza A virus nucleoprotein-encoding RNA molecule that act as adjuvants and/or immunostimulatory agents to enhance host immune responses.

Abstract: A method for the detection of impaired responsiveness of CD4+ T-cells to regulatory T-cells (Treg), Treg resistance, by measuring the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, PPARGC1A (PGC-1?) in activated CD4+ T-cells, in particular in patients suffering from relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. The invention relates to an in vitro screening method for the detection of an autoimmune disease or a condition, comprising the steps of generating a functional gene expression profile by measuring the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, PPARGC1A (PGC-1?) in Treg-resistant CD4+ T-cells from patients suffering of an autoimmune disease or condition, and comparing the obtained gene expression profile with the expression profile from Treg-sensitive CD4+ T-cells from healthy controls.

Abstract: The present description relates to a method and a device for providing anyons that may be used for topological quantum computation. The method comprises the steps of providing a magnetic material containing at least one magnetic texture providing a superconductor containing at least one vortex; creating at least one magnetic texture-vortex pair by coupling the magnetic material to the superconductor, wherein each magnetic texture-vortex pair binds an anyon being localized at the vortex of the respective magnetic texture-vortex pair in the superconductor.
