Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for diagnosing eosinophilic esophagitis in a subject. Also disclosed are methods for monitoring the course of eosinophilic esophagitis in a subject before, during, and after treatment. In another aspect, disclosed is a method of diagnosing eosinophilic esophagitis or eosinophilic diseases in a subject, comprising detecting an eosinophil granule protein in the mucosal tissue of the esophagus or other organs in a subject.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of detecting eosinophil degranulation in the respiratory tract of subjects. Also, disclosed are methods of producing medical images of the respiratory tract of subjects. The method can include administering radiolabeled heparin to the respiratory tract of subjects, wherein the radiolabeled heparin binds to one or more eosinophil granule protein in the mucosal tissue of the respiratory tract.

Abstract: Mesofluidic separator assemblies are provided that can include at least a pair of supports configured to extend within a pressure differential axis, and at least one level of a plurality of members extending between the pair of supports. Separator assemblies are also provided that can include at least individual members of the plurality defining a plurality of levels extending from a first level configured to have initial contact with the fluid to be separated and a last level configured to have final contact with the fluid to be separated. Assemblies are also provided that can include each member in a set of members being aligned along one axis that is neither parallel nor normal to the pressure differential axis. Assemblies are provided that can include a conduit configured to facilitate the flow of fluid along a pressure differential axis with the conduit defining at least one cross sectional area that is open. Methods for size separating particles within a fluid are provided.

Abstract: Precision quantum dot clusters and methods for producing and tuning quantum dot clusters are described herein. Also described herein are materials and devices, including photovoltaic devices, that may include one or more quantum dot clusters.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, substrate-supported linear arrays are formed by the steps of adhering a thin layer of polymer between a pair of substrates and separating the substrates perpendicular to the layer. The polymer layer separates to form substrate-supported polymer gratings on both substrates, each grating having a period proportional to the thickness of the layer. The process has been used to make gratings with periods in the sub-micron range or larger over areas covering square centimeters.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for contouring, shaping and/or directionally shrinking tissue by selective application of energy are disclosed herein. One embodiment of a method of contouring tissue includes determining a contraction direction along which the tissue is to be preferentially contracted and applying energy to a plurality of discrete elongated exposed regions of tissue spaced apart from each other among non-exposed regions of tissue. At least one of the exposed regions can be oriented such that a longitudinal dimension of the exposed regions is generally transverse to the contraction direction.
