  • Patent number: 7563619
    Abstract: It is disclosed here that low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) is a cell surface marker for somatic mammary stem cells and mammary tumor stem cells. The disclosure here provides new tools for enriching somatic mammary stem cells and mammary tumor stem cells. Methods of screening for agents that modulate LRP5 activity, of treating mammary tumor or breast cancer, of monitoring somatic mammary stem cells and mammary tumor stem cells in vivo are also provided, and of assessing prognosis of human breast cancer.

  • Publication number: 20010010059
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining transfer time and/or bandwidth between devices connected to a computer network includes sending a script or redirect signal to a browser attempting to fetch a banner from a server that causes a timer or clock to run between the initiation of a subsequent fetch page, fetch image, or other request by the browser and the delivery of subsequent data to the browser. The bandwidth of the device and/or the transfer time between the server and the device on which the browser is operating and the bandwidth of the device can then be used in the selection of which subsequent files, images, scripts, banners, executable software, or other content to be served to the browser or in the selection or configuration of web pages, electronic mail, or executable software to be served to the browser.
