  • Publication number: 20230227808
    Abstract: A sample containing particles having high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA is entrapped in a gel matrix, and the gel matrix is exposed to a lysis reagent configured to release the HMW DNA from the particles. The HMW DNA may be purified by subjecting the gel matrix to an electrophoretic field that removes the HMW DNA from the particles, lysis reagents, and/or other sample constituents, from the gel matrix such that the HMW DNA remains. The gel matrix may be subjected with DNA cleavase re-agents configured to cleave at specific DNA sequences within the HMW DNA to liberate defined segments of the DNA as fragments of reduced size. The gel matrix may also be subjected to an electrophoretic field, which moves and separates the DNA fragments from uncleaved DNA of the HMW DNA, which remains substantially immobile. The electrophoretically separated DNA fragments may be isolated from the gel matrix.

  • Publication number: 20160367497
    Abstract: Methods of treating or preventing axonal degradation in neuropathic diseases and neurological disorders in mammals are disclosed. The methods can comprise administering to the mammal an effective amount of an agent that acts at least in part by increasing sirtuin AMPK activity, LKB1 activity and/or CaMKK? activity in diseased and/or injured neurons. The methods can also comprise administering to the mammal an effective amount of an agent that acts by increasing NAD activity in diseased and/or injured neurons, alone or in combination with agents that act by other mechanisms. Also disclosed are methods of screening agents for treating a neuropathies and recombinant vectors for treating or preventing such neuropathies.

  • Patent number: 8133685
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for decreasing stem cell proliferation, including cancer stem cell proliferation. These methods comprise administering to stem cells inhibitors of AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK). Methods for promoting stem cell growth by increasing stem cell proliferation, self-renewal and/or differentiation are also disclosed. These methods comprise administering AMPK activators to stem cells. Methods of achieving selective differentiation of stem cells are also disclosed. These methods comprise administering small molecules to stem cells that modulate AMPK activity. Applications of these methods are also disclosed, such as methods of increasing numbers of neuronal progenitor cells. These methods can be used therapeutically, such as for repair of spinal cord injuries, or for stimulating neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and other cell-based therapies. The methods can also be used for screening of compounds that can be activators or inhibitors of AMPK activity.
