  • Patent number: 11944671
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions related to treating or reducing the severity or delaying the onset of one or more cardiac conditions in a mammal. In particular embodiments, the compositions concern Park2 and its use for a cardiac medical condition. In specific cases, effective amounts of Park2 polynucleotide(s) and/or Park2 polypeptide(s) are provided to an individual in need thereof, including for heart failure, for example. The administration may be locally to the heart, for example.

  • Publication number: 20200081903
    Abstract: A system for analysis and transaction processing includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a task. The processor is configured to determine a processing estimate associated with the task by determining required resources for a set of possible processing solutions to perform the task and to determine a task engine based at least in part on the processing estimate. The task engine comprises an analysis engine or a transaction engine. The analysis engine or the transaction engine is used to process the task. The processor is further to provide the task to the task engine.
