Abstract: Aspects of this invention, inter alia, relate to novel systems for targeting, editing or manipulating DNA in a cell, using novel synthetic RNA-guided nucleases (sRGNs). The sRGNs are derived from wildtype or parental small type II CRISPR Cas9 endonucleases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel gene editing systems capable of being delivered to a subject intravenously through a lipid nano particle pharmaceutical formulation and producing durable in vivo editing of a target gene, such as ANGPTL3, with high on-target gene editing efficiency, reduced or low off-target effect, and no germline editing. The gene editing systems comprise a chemically modified guide nucleic acid sequence with a spacer having a specified arrangement of deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides. The novel gene editing systems comprise mRNA that encodes the gene editor proteins, which may include a modified nickase component. Methods of disease treatments using the gene editing systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions for gene modification or editing and methods of using same to treat or prevent certain conditions. Specific compositions and methods capable of safely and effectively editing gene targets expressed in the liver to durably lower LDL-C thereby treating a leading cause of cardiovascular disease are disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein is method for purifying messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding a DNA endonuclease from a sample, the method comprising: (a) loading the sample comprising the mRNA onto a monolithic matrix comprising a poly(dT) or poly(U) nucleic acid molecule linked/coupled to the monolithic matrix under conditions allowing the mRNA to hybridize with the poly(dT) or poly(U) nucleic acid molecule; (b) eluting the mRNA from the monolith matrix after one or more contaminants have been separated from the bound mRNA; and (c) separating the mRNA from dsRNA by adsorption chromatography, thereby resulting in a purified mRNA solution.

Abstract: A biopsy and therapy device comprising: a needling unit for holding and inserting a biopsy needle; an imaging module comprising an ultrasound probe and an actuator for moving the probe in a reciprocal action; a first arcuate slide; a second arcuate slide in sliding engagement with the first arcuate slide and a linkage to which the first arcuate slide is mounted; said linkage arranged to move the first and second arcuate slides within a vertical plane; said needling unit mounted to said arcuate slide wherein the first and second arcuate slides are mounted perpendicular to each other so as to rotate the needling unit about respective first and second principal axes.

Abstract: An example device includes a mounting surface including a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The device includes an intermediate plate coupled to the mounting surface and comprising a second material having a second CTE. The device includes a ferrite core coupled to the intermediate plate and comprising a third material having a third CTE, wherein the second CTE of the intermediate plate is between the first CTE of the mounting surface and the third CTE of the ferrite core.

Abstract: A system for coordinating valet services comprises a server including a server controller, a server database in communication with the controller, and server memory in communication with the controller, the server memory storing server program instructions that are executable by the controller. The system also includes a customer mobile device and a valet mobile device associated with a customer application and a valet application, respectively. The customer application is associated with a vehicle identifier, and the valet application is associated with a valet identifier. In response to receipt of the valet identifier and the vehicle identifier by the server from the customer application, the server controller prompts the valet application to request a ticket number.
