Publication number: 20240344137Abstract: Analysis of 13,023 genes in 11 breast and 11 colorectal cancers revealed that individual tumors accumulate an average of ˜90 mutant genes but that only a subset of these contribute to the neoplastic process. Using stringent criteria to delineate this subset, we identified 189 genes (average of 11 per tumor) that were mutated at significant frequency. The vast majority of these genes were not known to be genetically altered in tumors and are predicted to affect a wide range of cellular functions, including transcription, adhesion, and invasion. These data define the genetic landscape of two human cancer types, provide new targets for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention and monitoring.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Tobias Sjoblom, Sian Jones, D.

Patent number: 12103222Abstract: A drawn fused filament fabrication method of three-dimensional printing is disclosed in which the filament extruded is variable and not restricted to the diameter of the nozzle used for extrusion. This method composes three steps. The first is to extrude a small amount of material at a starting position. Next, the extruding head pulls the extruded material along while moving away from the starting position. During this time to material cools down and solidifies. As a result, a thin filament is formed. Third, once the extruding head moves to a destination, a small amount of material can be extruded and deposited to anchor this newly formed filament to a surface. The drawn fused filament fabrication method may be used to print three-dimensional parts having significant lower thickness than the diameter of the nozzle used to extrude the printing material.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignees: THE CURATORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, TIGER ENERGY SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Ronald Wood, Hsin-Yeh Hsieh, Chung-Ho Lin, George C.
