  • Models of genetic interactions and methods of use
    Publication number: 20030215866
    Abstract: Models of different patterns of genetic interactions were formulated and used in methods to determine the architecture of genetic interactions from mRNA expression levels measured in microarray experiments. The methods can be used to screen biological systems to identify which systems are candidates for therapeutic intervention. Also provided are machine readable storage and systems for using the disclosed models and methods.

  • Method of inhibiting osmotic water flow
    Patent number: 4959355
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of inhibiting osmotic water flow across mammalian cell membranes which involves contacting the water channels of the cell membranes with an effective amount of a glucose transport blocker or of digitonin so as to inhibit osmotic water flow across the membranes.Additionally, this invention provides a method of treating a subject afflicted with a condition associated with abnormal osmotic water flow across cell membranes which comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a glucose transport blocker or of digitonin so as to contact the water channels of the subject's cell membranes and inhibit osmotic water flow across the membranes.
