Abstract: This document provides materials and methods for permanent arterial embolization and/or enhanced vascular healing. For example, materials and methods for using bioactive tissue derived nanocomposite hydrogels to enhance vascular healing are provided.

Abstract: The present application discloses methods of correcting a gene defect in a cell, methods of treating a patient having a disease or disorder characterized by a gene defect, methods of preparing a chimeric antigen receptor T cell, as well as systems for correcting a gene defect in a cell, ex vivo modified cells, and related compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in the field of shellfish breeding techniques, for breeding a scallop population that have improved carotenoid content in the orange-red adductor muscles or other muscle tissues. This method includes the steps of selecting the rare individuals that have orange-red adductor muscles from natural scallop populations, growing the selected scallops, inducing the reproduction, artificially fertilization, and finally breeding a scallop population with orange-red adductor muscles which can be expanded for the cultivation on a large scale. Comparing to other known breeding methods, the present method does not use transgenic technologies to include introduce any exogenous genes, thus does not have any bio-safety and ethics issues. All the mutant scallops with orange-red adductor muscles are selected from natural or cultivated populations. After breeding for four generations, the obtained scallops have abundant carotenoid ingredients in their orange-red adductor muscles.
