  • Publication number: 20120282696
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions for treating or assessing treatment of diseases related to mis-expression of genes or genetic pathways that can be modulated by let-7. Methods may include evaluating patients for genes or genetic pathways modulated by let-7, and/or using an expression profile to assess the condition of a patient or treating the patient with an appropriate miRNA.

  • Patent number: 8017399
    Abstract: A system and method are described for electroporating a sample that utilizes one or more sets of electrodes that are spaced apart in order to hold a surface tension constrained sample between the electrodes. The first electrode is connected to the lower body of the system while the second electrode is connected to the upper body. Both electrodes are connected to a pulse generator. Each electrode has a sample contact surface such that the first electrode and the second electrode may be positioned to hold a surface tension constrained sample between the two sample contact surfaces and the sample may receive a selected electric pulse.
    Type: Grant
