Abstract: Provided are certain methods of screening, identifying, and evaluating neuroprotective compounds useful for treatment of neurological diseases, such as, e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS). The compounds described upregulate the cellular cytoprotective pathway regulated by Nrf2. Also provided are certain methods of utilizing such compounds in therapy for neurological disease, particularly, for slowing or reducing demyelination, axonal loss, or neuronal and oligodendrocyte death.
Abstract: Provided herein are compositions containing compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, that metabolize to monomethyl fumarate with certain pharmacokinetic parameters and methods for treating, prophylaxis, or amelioration of neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis using such compositions in a subject, wherein if the compositions contain dimethyl fumarate, the total amount of dimethyl fumarate in the compositions ranges from about 43% w/w to about 95% w/w.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods of preventing and eliminating trisulfide bonds in proteins such as antibodies. In one embodiment, trisulfide bonds in proteins are converted to disulfide bonds as part of chromatographic purification procedures. In another embodiment, the formation of trisulfide bonds in proteins is inhibited by implementation of methods described herein during the cell culture production of such proteins. In another embodiment, monoclonal antibodies are produced by the methods described herein.
Abstract: A lighting control console controls a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console, which commands can be transmitted to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data links. The lighting control console includes at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and wherein the lighting control console includes at least one display device for electronically displaying image elements, and wherein at least one rotary control is disposed in the operating panel of the lighting control console. The rotary control allows users to enter operating commands by rotating the rotary control. An electronic display field is disposed at the visible side of the rotary control visible to the user displays image contents related to the rotary control.

Abstract: The invention provided herein includes isolated polypeptides that specifically block the interaction between neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and albumin. Blocking the interaction treats diseases and conditions caused by increased amounts of albumin or modified albumin that possesses pathogenic properties wherein it is deemed desirable to decrease albumin levels. Accordingly, also provided are methods of using these isolated polypeptides to treat various diseases and conditions caused by increased amounts of albumin or modified albumin that possesses pathogenic properties. The invention provided herein also includes isolated polypeptides capable of binding to a non-IgG and non-albumin competitive site on an FcRn alpha 3 domain. These can be useful for tracking FcRn without inhibiting IgG or albumin binding or function. Accordingly, the invention also includes methods and systems to track FcRn without inhibiting IgG or albumin binding or function.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for the delivery of gas bubbles to liquids are generally described. The devices can include a primary conduit comprising a plurality of openings fluidically connecting an internal flow pathway of the primary conduit to an environment outside the primary conduit. The devices may also include, in some instances, a secondary conduit located at least partially within the primary conduit, the secondary conduit configured to redistribute the pressure of the gas delivered to the openings of the primary conduit, and comprising a plurality of openings fluidically connecting an internal flow pathway of the secondary conduit to a portion of the internal flow pathway of the primary conduit outside the secondary conduit. Certain of the gas delivery systems and methods described herein are capable of delivering gas at relatively uniform linear flow velocities across multiple gas outlet openings. Certain embodiments are related to inventive configurations (e.g.
