Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modulating adeno-associated virus (AAV) infection. For example, compositions and methods are provided for enhancing permissiveness of a target cell to AAV infection (e.g., by increasing levels of AAVR (KIAA0319L) in the cell), for reducing permissiveness of a target cell to AAV infection (e.g., by reducing levels of AAVR in the cell), and for nucleic acid delivery (e.g., by (i) increasing permissiveness of a target cell to AAV infection, e.g., by increasing the amount of AAVR in the cell; and (ii) contacting the target cell with an AAV particle that includes a nucleic acid of interest). Also provided are screening methods and kits for practicing the methods of the disclosure.

Abstract: A truck bed storage system includes a pair of mounting rails each having a channel, a front cover, and a rear cover. The front cover is supported by a pair of front cover hinges attached to the pair of mounting rails. The rear cover is supported by a pair of six-bar hinges attached to the pair of mounting rails. The pair of six-bar hinges each includes a pair of tabs that engage each of the channels.

Abstract: A non-customized standard array of brassieres generated from a grading array including a number of differently-sized bands that each defines an arc. The grading array defines a constant angular band end location across a plurality of band lengths, defines a constant angular cup location for different-sized cups on a single band length as well as for the same or different-sized cups across a plurality of band lengths, and defines a variable bridge distance that varies based on cup size. The non-customized, standard array of brassieres is identifiable by a standard brassiere measuring system where the volume identifier of the cup represents a consistent volume regardless of the band length for which the cup is associated. Further, the standard brassiere measuring system is based on direct body measurements representative of breast volume and underbust circumference.

Abstract: A measuring device for measuring the volume of a breast of a woman. The measuring device includes a plurality of arc-shaped elements coupled together to allow each of the plurality of arc-shaped elements to pivot to different angular positions relative to the other of the plurality of arc-shaped elements. The plurality of arc-shaped elements are pivotable relative to each other between a closed position where the plurality of arc-shaped elements are generally aligned at a common angular position, and an open position where the plurality of arc-shaped elements are generally spaced from each other at different angular positions to at least partially define a portion of a spheroid having a predetermined volume. The plurality of arc-shaped elements in the open position are configured to be positioned against the breast to receive the breast for determining a volume of the breast relative to the predetermined volume.

Abstract: An armature for a brassiere for a woman have a chest area. A breast projecting from the breast area and a transition area transitioning between the chest area and proximal, intermediate, and distal portions of the breast. The transition area defines a continuous contour. The armature includes an underwire having a distal portion configured to be positioned adjacent the distal portion of the breast, a proximal portion configured to be positioned adjacent the proximal portion of the breast, and an intermediate portion configured to be positioned adjacent the intermediate portion of the breast. The underwire has an unsprung state configured to match the contour of the transition area.
