  • Patent number: 12377048
    Abstract: Processes for preparing neutral liposomes include adding a hydrophobic solution of liposome lipid bilayer precursors and a nucleic acid condenser to an aqueous composition of a nucleic acid condenser and a biologically active ingredient and then, isolating the liposomes. The liposomes are formed from noncationic lipids and encapsulate the biologically active ingredient as a core composition and entrap some of the biologically active ingredient on the exterior surface of the liposome. The liposomes have the nucleic acid condensers and/or cell penetrating peptides attached to the exterior surface of the lipid bilayer. One or more divalent cations are present in the solution with the liposome and remain in solution once the liposomes form.

  • Patent number: 12365900
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions and systems comprising synthetic nucleic acid molecules that enable inducible or conditional pri-miRNA processing, preferably in mammalian cells in vivo. Provided herein are synthetic nucleic acid molecules referred to as Orthogonal RNA Interference induced by Trigger RNA (ORIENTR) that switches between an inactive form and an active form upon interaction with one or more specific RNA-trigger molecules, which can be e.g., a synthetic RNA-trigger, or a disease-specific RNA signals, such as disease-specific mRNA, miRNA, or other cellular RNA products with sequences that characterize a disease state of a cell. The interaction between the RNA-trigger molecules and the ORIENTR is preferably mediated by hybridization, which exposes, facilitates the formation, and/or allows the formation of a correctly folded pri-miRNA scaffold substrate that can be processed by proteins of the RNAi pathway (such as Dicer), leading to RNAi-mediated repression of a target gene.

  • Publication number: 20250230502
    Abstract: An Interferon Gamma Inducible Protein 16 (IFI16) mutant gene and its use as a marker for predicting, diagnosing, or prognosticating risk or severity of chronic liver disease is described. As a result of performing genomic analysis on NAFLD and NASH patient groups, it was confirmed that the frequency of IFI16 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) including rs2276404, rs73021847, rs7532207, and rs6940 was increased, and the expression of the IFI16 mutant gene was increased depending on the disease stage of liver disease. The IFI16 SNV was highly expressed in infiltrating macrophages, playing a role in macrophage-induced inflammatory processes, and the IFI16 variant bound more strongly to dsDNA than wild-type IFI16, exacerbating the impaired mitochondrial DNA-sensing response signaling of the IFI16-PYCARD-CASP1 pathway. Thus, the IFI16 mutant gene may be used for predicting, diagnosing, or prognosticating risk or severity of chronic liver disease.

  • Patent number: 12357080
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and analyzing activities of a user operating an electric tooth brush having an electric motor. The magnetic field induced by motions of the electric motor can be detected by a sensor array to generate signals. The signals are processed to determine a position of the brush head and a roll angle of the brush head. Based on the position and roll angle of the brush head, the surface of the teeth of the user, which is being brushed by the brush head, can be determined. This operation can be repeated to determine whether all the surfaces of the teeth have been brushed.
