  • Publication number: 20250108131
    Abstract: The present disclosure, at least in part, relates to compositions (e.g., engineered nucleic acids and engineered proteins) and methods for increasing gene expression. The engineered proteins include RNA-binding proteins (e.g., RNA-binding proteins that comprise a Interleukin Enhancer Binding Factor 3 (ILF3) sequence, a Cas sequence, or a combination thereof). In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods of identifying engineered nucleic acids that are shorter in length than a gene of interest to induce expression of the gene of interest and also provides RNA-binding proteins for inducing gene expression.

  • Patent number: 12155664
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product relating to an application server operable to manage a microservice-based application, i.e. app, on behalf of clients, the clients being available for use by system actors who may be, for example, end users, bots, developers or other apps. A permissions validator is used to compute effective permissions in response to client requests. The requests are granted or denied conditional on the effective permissions being at least a subset of the permissions required to be given by any of the app's microservices that are needed for the resource being requested. The effective permissions are computed from an intersection of a set of actor permissions, a set of client permissions and a set of resource permissions.

  • Publication number: 20240117432
    Abstract: The invention is based on the detection of microRNA (miR) in biological samples derived from subjects for assessing a risk that the subject develops a neurological and/or neuropsychological condition. The invention in particular detects the presence or absence and the amount of microRNA-181a-5p, microRNA146a-5p and/or microRNA148a-3p in such samples, which are shown by the invention to be associated with the neurological and/or neuropsychological condition. In addition, the invention provides a therapeutic application for the treatment of the neurological and/or neuropsychological condition by modulating the expression/function of these miR. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for monitoring the treatment success of the neurological and/or neuropsychological condition.

  • Patent number: 10621388
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically providing delta query support for backend databases. One example method includes identifying annotations for a data set. The annotations indicate data fields of the data set to be used for a delta calculation. A request for a delta calculation is received for the data set. A set of delta calculation queries are automatically generated based on the annotations and a set of query templates in response to the request for the delta calculation. The set of delta calculation queries are executed to generate a delta calculation result. The automatically generated delta calculation result is provided in response to the request for the delta calculation.

  • Patent number: 9992301
    Abstract: Prioritization criteria can be applied to assign a priority ranking to server processes executed by a backend server, and a utilization of the backend server by server demands can be quantified. Upon determining that the quantified utilization of the backend server has reached or exceeded one or more determined limits on backend utilization, at least a lowest priority server process can be throttled based on one or more throttling parameters.
