  • GENE THERAPY TO IMPROVE VISION
    Publication number: 20250290096
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of gene therapy vectors to improve vision by introducing into healthy rod photoreceptor cells of a patient suffering from cone photoreceptor dysfunction and/or degeneration a nucleic acid encoding a gene product that is light-sensitive and/or that modulates endogenous light-sensitive signalling in a photoreceptor cell, such that the range of light intensities to which the rod photoreceptor responds is extended and/or the speed at which the rod photoreceptor responds to light is increased
    Type: Application

  • Method and device for providing anyons, use of the device
    Patent number: 12389804
    Abstract: The present description relates to a method and a device for providing anyons that may be used for topological quantum computation. The method comprises the steps of providing a magnetic material containing at least one magnetic texture providing a superconductor containing at least one vortex; creating at least one magnetic texture-vortex pair by coupling the magnetic material to the superconductor, wherein each magnetic texture-vortex pair binds an anyon being localized at the vortex of the respective magnetic texture-vortex pair in the superconductor.
    Type: Grant
