  • EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES FROM MICROALGAE
    Publication number: 20230025620
    Abstract: Extracellular vesicles derived from native, photosynthetic, non-fermenting microalgae are provided. A method for isolating extracellular vesicles from native, photosynthetic, non-fermenting microalgae involving growth, centrifugation and ultracentrifugation steps is also provided. Use of the isolated extracellular vesicles as carriers for deliverling diagnostic, therapeutic, nutraceutic and/or cosmetic agents is further provided.

  • Protein specific for cardiac and skeletal muscle
    Patent number: 7425615
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a muscle-specific protein, Ozz, and nucleic acids encoding the protein, that regulates development and function of muscle cells. The invention further relates to muscle-specific regulated expression of the protein, and of heterologous genes under control of the same regulatory sequences. In a specific example, a murine Ozz protein of 285 amino acids is preferentially expressed by a 1.0 kb mRNA in heart and skeletal muscle. This protein shares significant homology with neuralized proteins, and associates with a number of muscle proteins, including ?-catenin.
