  • Publication number: 20240068175
    Abstract: Implementations herein describe an artificial turf having a backing layer and a plurality of rows of individual tufts tufted into the backing layer. Each tuft comprises at least three yarns per tuft and each one of the at least three yarns varies in at least one of material, color, texture, denier and cross-section. Each row of individual tufts is substantially similar to each adjacent tufted row and adjacent tufts on a given row are spaced apart at a predetermined gauge.

  • Patent number: 10251379
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a transgenic non-human animal model having germ cells and somatic cells containing an endogenous MMTV-SV40-Spy1A gene sequence introduced into said animal model or an ancestor of said animal model at an embryonic stage, wherein said gene sequence comprises a mouse mammary tumor virus gene (MMTV), a functionally disrupted SV40 gene (SV40) and a human Spy1A gene. In another aspect, the present invention provides a transgenic non-human animal model whose germ cells and somatic cells contain an endogenous Spy1A-pTRE-Tight gene sequence introduced into said animal model or an ancestor of said animal model at an embryonic stage. Preferably, the Spy1A-pTRE-Tight animal model expresses the Spy1A gene and develop cancer, preferably breast cancer, when administered with tetracycline, preferably doxycycline.

  • Publication number: 20120082655
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method of treating or preventing cancer as well as a novel method for diagnosing or monitoring cancer, wherein the cancer is caused by delayed entry to cellular senescence. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel method of treating or preventing cancer, comprising a step of administering an agent selected to degrade, inhibit or downregulate Spy1 in a cell. The present invention also relates to a novel method of diagnosing or monitoring cancer, comprising the steps of treating a cell with UV radiation and measuring amounts of a Spy1 protein and a p53 protein, or a ratio thereof.
