  • Patent number: 9029139
    Abstract: Methods for generating and using omentum cells, and particularly stromal cells and/or omentum stem cells, in medical treatments such as tissue repair and regeneration to facilitate healing from traumatic injury to an abdominal organ, and immune modulation treatments such as suppression of immune responses and inflammation and prevention of tissue fibrosis. According to one aspect, a medical procedure is performed on a patient that involves harvesting omental tissue from the patient, and then transferring the omental tissue to an organ of the patient. At least a portion of the harvested omental tissue may be activated prior to transferring the omental tissue to the organ. Alternatively, the transferred omental tissue may comprise non-lymphoid cells isolated from the omentum tissue and obtained by homogenizing at least a portion of the harvested omental tissue.

  • Patent number: 8357837
    Abstract: A Brassica plant comprising a unique recombination event resulting from a break at a position along a nucleic acid segment derived from Ogura Raphanus sativus between the restorer locus and the glucosinolate locus and subsequent rejoining to produce a new recombination event, BLR1. The BLR1 recombination event expresses fertility restoring resulting from expression of the restorer gene derived from Raphanus sativus and a GSL content no higher than normal double low open pollinated varieties. The Brassica inbred line BLR-038, Deposit Number NCIMB-41193, is one example of a plant that contains the BLR1 recombination event. The BLR1 recombination event is introgressed into different Brassica genetic backgrounds using breeding techniques known to those skilled in the art. For example, the Brassica inbred line BLR-038 or another Brassica plant containing the BLR1 recombination event may be crossed with male sterile inbreds to produce hybrids expressing low GSL content and superior agronomic traits.

  • Patent number: 6265219
    Abstract: A synthesis member preferably comprises two elements: a crown and a stem. The stem includes a tag, such as a transponder, that is used to identify the synthesis member and/or the synthetic history of the synthesis member when used in the automated synthesis of compound libraries containing large numbers (e.g. 1000 or more) compounds. The crown provides the location at which compounds are synthesized. The combination of a crown for use with compound synthesis and stem allows the tracking of individual synthesis members from a library containing thousands of such synthesis members. Because each synthesis member is individually tracked and can be logged into a database and/or process flow control system, the synthesis of several thousand individual compounds in conventional containers, such as round bottom flasks is made possible using only traditional compound synthesis approaches.
