  • OPHTHALMIC FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20250099524
    Abstract: Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) is a highly contagious virus affecting domestic and wild felines and is the leading cause of corneal disease and conjunctivitis in cats. Thus, provided herein is topical ophthalmic formulation for treating FHV-1, comprising L-lysine and a second therapeutic agent, such as osha root (e.g., ligustilide). The formulation enables direct and concentrated delivery to the ocular surface, which is believed to enhance efficacy in treating herpesvirus infections. This innovative approach improves treatment outcomes by targeting the virus more effectively at the site of infection.

  • Memory Controller Reservation of Retry Queue
    Publication number: 20250103520
    Abstract: A memory controller circuit receives memory access requests from a network of a computer system. Entries are reserved for these requests in a retry queue circuit. An arbitration circuit of the memory controller circuit issues those requests to a tag pipeline circuit that determines whether the received memory access requests hit in a memory cache. As a memory access request passes through the tag pipeline circuit, it may require another pass through this pipeline—for example, if resources such as certain storage circuits needed to complete the memory access request are unavailable (for example a snoop queue circuit). The reservation that has been made in the retry queue circuit thus keeps the request from having to be returned to the network for resubmission to the memory controller circuit if initial processing of the memory access request cannot be completed.

  • COMPOUNDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN COOPERATIVE BINDING AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20250101031
    Abstract: The invention features compounds (e.g., macrocyclic compounds) capable of modulating biological processes, for example through binding to a presenter protein (e.g., a member of the FKBP family, a member of the cyclophilin family, or PIN1) and a target protein such as CEP250. These compounds bind endogenous intracellular presenter proteins, such as the FKBPs or cyclophilins, and the resulting binary complexes selectively bind and modulate the activity of the target protein. Formation of a tripartite complex among the presenter protein, the compound, and the target protein is driven by both protein-compound and protein-protein interactions, and both are required for modulation of target protein activity.
