Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a deep-learning generative model configured to output 3D modeled objects each representing a mechanical part or an assembly of mechanical parts. The method comprises obtaining a dataset of 3D modeled objects and training the deep-learning generative model based on the dataset. The training includes minimization of a loss. The loss includes a term that penalizes, for each output respective 3D modeled object, one or more functional scores of the respective 3D modeled object. Each functional score measures an extent of non-respect of a respective functional descriptor among one or more functional descriptors, by the mechanical part or the assembly of mechanical parts. This forms an improved solution with respect to outputting 3D modeled objects each representing a mechanical part or an assembly of mechanical parts.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the field of gene therapy, i.e. gene delivery into target cells, tissue, organ and organism, and more particularly to gene delivery via viral vectors. The inventors showed that it is possible by chemical coupling to modulate the coupling of a ligand in the surface of the capsid of AAV, for example AAV2 and AAV3b. In particular, the present invention relates to a recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV) vector particle having at least one primary amino group contained in the capsid proteins, chemically coupled with at least one ligand L, wherein coupling of said ligand L is implemented through a bond comprising a —CSNH— bond and an optionally substituted aromatic moiety. Particularly, the inventors tested the chemical coupling of mannose ligand on AAV2 for subretinally injection to rats.
