Publication number: 20230260574Abstract: Memory devices such as phase change memory (PCM) devices utilizing Ovonic Threshold Switching (OTS) selectors may be used to fill the gap between dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and mass storage and may be incorporated in high-end microcontrollers. Since the programming efficiency and reading phase efficiency of such devices is directly linked to the leakage current of the OTS selector as well as sneak-path management, a sense amplifier disclosed herein generates an auto-reference that takes into account the leakage currents of unselected cells and includes a regulation loop to compensate for voltage drop due to read current sensing. This auto-referenced sense amplifier, built utilizing the principle of charge-sharing, may be designed on a 28 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) technology, provides robust performance for a wide range of sneak-path currents and consequently for a large range of memory array sizes, and is therefore suitable for use in embedded memory in high-end microcontroller.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicants: Universite D'Aix Marseille, Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique, STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SAS, STMicroelectronics (Rousset) SASInventors: Jean-Michel PORTAL, Vincenzo DELLA MARCA, Jean-Pierre WALDER, Julien GASQUEZ, Philippe BOIVIN

Patent number: 11618884Abstract: The present invention relates to regulatory T cell and uses thereof. By their immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory activities, regulatory T cells play a central role in peripheral tolerance and thus critically prevent the development of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. The inventors showed that Foxp3+CD4+ Tregs express high levels of LT?, which negatively regulates their immunosuppressive signature. They demonstrated that the adoptive transfer of LT??/? Tregs in mice protects from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis and attenuates inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multi-organ autoimmunity and the development of CAC. The inventors also showed that by mixed bone marrow chimeras that LT? expression specifically in hematopoietic cells negatively controls the immunosuppressive signature of Tregs. In particular, the present invention relates to regulatory T cell characterized in that it does not express or expresses reduced levels of lymphotoxin alpha.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignees: INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE), UNIVERSITE D'AIX MARSEILLE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS)Inventor: Magali Irla

Patent number: 11579147Abstract: Sarcomas are rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues at all body sites. The inventors show that in a mouse model of p16/p19 deficiency prone to tumor development, the absence of the mouse pantetheinase Vnn1 enhances the frequency of aggressive fibrosarcomas. They also show that reintroduction of a catalytically active form of the Vnn1 pantetheinase limits tumor growth in vivo. Interestingly, VNN1 expression in human sarcomas is associated with reduced aggressiveness and lower risk of metastatic relapse in patients. In conclusion, Vnn1 represents a novel marker of sarcoma and may modulate tumor aggressiveness by sustaining myofibroblast cell differentiation, thereby limiting evolution towards undifferentiated tumors. The present invention relates to the use of Vnn1 as a biomarker and a therapeutic target in sarcomas.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignees: INSERM (Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale), Université d'Aix Marseille, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Université Claude Bernard, Centre Leon BernardInventors: Philippe Naquet, Franck Galland, Virginie Millet, Jean-Yves Blay, Caroline Giessner

Patent number: 11560304Abstract: A method for functionalizing a surface of a dielectric plate that is transparent to visible light—to be able to examine the dielectric plate using optical microscopy—includes depositing a negative film on the dielectric slide. The negative film comprises a polymerizable composition that polymerizes when exposed to an electron beam. The polymerizable composition is polymerized—by exposing the negative film to the electronic beam—at a set of points representing a preset pattern. Non-polymerized portions of the polymerizable composition are dissolved—to develop the negative film—forming a set of pads of polymerized portions of the polymerizable composition. Each pad corresponds to one point of the preset pattern. A metal film is disposed on the negative film, and the developed negative film is dissolved to define holes through the metal film. Each of the holes corresponds to a base of one pad of the set of pads.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, UNIVERSITÉ D'AIX-MARSEILLEInventors: Kheya Sengupta, Emmanuelle Benard, Igor Ozerov, Frédéric Bedu, Hervé Dallaporta
