Abstract: A multi-photon imaging system includes a laser module having a first channel for outputting a two-photon excitation laser pulse and a second channel for outputting a three-photon excitation laser pulse. The system further includes a first optical path for guiding the two-photon laser pulse from the first channel of the laser module and a second optical path for guiding the three-photon laser pulse from the second channel of the laser module. A microscope is also provided for simultaneously receiving the two-photon laser pulse from the first optical path and the three-photon laser pulse from the second optical path, and simultaneously, or with well controllable delays, delivering the two-photon laser pulse and the three-photon pulse to a target volume. The system further includes a photodetector configured to collect photons generated within the target volume in response to simultaneous excitation of the target volume by both the two-photon laser pulse and the three-photon laser pulse.

Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for cleaving a DNA sequence in a cell. The methods involve comprising introducing into a cell a recombinant vector containing a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system. The system includes a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) targeted to a DNA sequence in the cell that is operatively linked to a promoter; and CRISPR-associated enzymes (Cas) 10, Cas6, and at least one Csm protein. The Cas 10 cleaves the DNA sequence only during transcription of the DNA sequence that is operatively linked to the promoter. Also provided are recombinant vectors for modifying cells, cells that contain the recombinant vectors and modifications introduced by them, and kits that include the modified vectors.

Abstract: Hyperspectral dermoscopy images obtained in N wavelengths in the 350 nm to 950 nm range with a hyperspectral imaging camera are processed to obtain imaging biomarkers having a spectral dependence. Machine learning is applied to the imaging biomarkers to generate a diagnostic classification.

Abstract: A treatment for inflammatory dermatoses, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema), is disclosed that utilizes topical administration of a halogenated xanthene, such as rose bengal, together with administration of one or more complementary targeted systemic dermatology therapies, preferably a therapy that addresses the inflammatory pathway and is other than an NSAID that is a COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibitor. Examples of complementary targeted systemic therapeutic ingredients include: corticosteroids, including betamethasone dipropionate and fluocinonide; dithranol; vitamin D analogs, including calcipotriol; and retinoids, non-biologics including methotrexate, ciclosporin, hydroxycarbamide, and fumarates including dimethyl fumarate; as well as one or more biologics, including antibodies or paratope-containing antibody portions to TNF-?, antibodies to pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-12, interleukin-23 and interleukin-17, and TNF inhibitors.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to Mer Tyrosine Kinase (MERTK) (e.g., human MERTK, or both human and mouse MERTK) and compositions comprising such antibodies, wherein said antibody agonizes MERTK signaling on endothelial cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to broadly neutralizing anti-HIV-1 antibodies and isolated antigens. Also disclosed are related methods and compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-HIV antibodies. Also disclosed are related methods and compositions. HIV causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans characterized by clinical features including wasting syndromes, central nervous system degeneration and profound immunosuppression that results in life-threatening opportunistic infections and malignancies. Since its discovery in 1981, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) has led to the death of at least 25 million people worldwide.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, systems, and methods for modulating proliferation, differentiation and pluripotency of cells.

Abstract: An imaging signal extraction apparatus comprising: an interface; a processing device, the processing device operatively coupled to the interface; and a computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processing device, perform operations comprising: a) generating a two-dimensional image from imaging information obtained from the interface, thereby estimating ballistic component of the imaging information; b) generating a three-dimensional image by remapping the two-dimensional image; c) identifying a candidate object in the three-dimensional image; d) obtaining an estimated spatial forward model of the candidate object by mapping the three-dimensional image of the candidate object with a point-spread-function associated with the imaging apparatus; e) obtaining background-corrected data by using the estimated spatial forward model of the candidate object and estimated temporal components; and f) iteratively updating the estimated spatial forward model and estimated temporal componen
