  • Methods for treating retinoid responsive disorders using selective inhibitors of CYP26A and CYP26B
    Patent number: 7468391
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating an individual having a retinoid responsive disorder. In one embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26B inhibitor, the selective CYP26B inhibitor having at least 10-fold selectivity for CYP26B relative to CYP26A. In another embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26A inhibitor, the selective CYP26A inhibitor having a chemical formula set forth in the specification. The invention further provides screening methods for identifying a selective CYP26A inhibitor or selective CYP26B inhibitor.

  • Unified user input device
    Publication number: 20060055664
    Abstract: A unified user input device is provided. The input device may include keys normally provided as part of a general purpose alphanumeric computer keyboard. In addition, a positional controller is provided. Both the conventional alphanumeric keys and the positional controller are associated with the same device platform. Additionally, special function keys may also be provided in association with the positional controller. Signals encoding the selection of an alphanumeric key, a control input, or a special function key are communicated to an interconnected computer using a common, conventional keyboard connection, and a common signaling protocol.
