Publication number: 20220033520Abstract: Biological macromolecules have tremendous potential for the treatment of disease of the central nervous system (CNS), however, the presence of the blood brain barrier (BBB) makes achieving a therapeutically relevant antibody concentration extremely challenging. Antibodies with enhanced neutral pH affinity for the neonatal Fc receptor demonstrate improved accumulation in the brain. Variants disclosed herein also enhanced exposure in engineered mouse models. Using an anti-BACE1 antibody, these Fc variants significantly reduced the levels of brain Abeta.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: Genentech, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. Lazar, James Ernst, Jasvinder Atwal, Shraddha Shirish Sadekar, Yanli Yang, Shan Chung

Publication number: 20210205475Abstract: Disclosed herein is an optogenetics-based gene therapy that involves channelrhodopsin fusion proteins having an inner mitochondrial membrane-mitochondrial localization signal (IMM-MLS) that can effectively target the fusion protein to an inner mitochondria membrane, and a channelrhodopsin ion channel domain that can change the mitochondrial membrane potential (??m) when light is present. The disclosed optogenetics-based gene therapy system can in some embodiments further involve luciferase fusion proteins to stimulate the channelrhodopsin without reliance on external light that has an outer mitochondrial membrane-mitochondrial localization signal (OMM-MLS) that can effectively target the luciferase fusion protein to an outer mitochondrial membrane, and a luciferase protein that can produce a bioluminescence in the presence of a luciferase substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2019Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Xiaoguang Liu, Lufang Zhou, Jianyi Zhang, Patrick James Ernst, Ningning Xu

Patent number: 8752394Abstract: A method for determining the speed of at least one rotating fan, such as a propeller, through sensing pressure waves generated by the blades of the fan. An apparatus operable to execute the method is also disclosed. The apparatus includes a fan having a hub portion and a plurality of blades extending radially outward from the hub portion. The apparatus also includes an engine operable to rotate the fan about an axis of rotation. The apparatus also includes a sensor spaced from the fan along the axis of rotation. The sensor is positioned to sense at least one physical condition that is external of the engine and is changed by rotation of the plurality of blades. The sensor is operable to emit a signal corresponding to at least one physical condition. The apparatus also includes a processor operably engaged with the engine and the sensor. The processor is operable to receive the signal from the sensor and change the operation of the engine in response to the signal to change a speed of the fan.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Rolls-Royce CorporationInventors: James Ernst, Claudio Zizzo, Shawn Thomas Collins
