  • Publication number: 20220106647
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include devices, methods, and systems for direct, selective, and sensitive detection of single-stranded and double-stranded target nucleic acid sequences from various sources in a solution-based system. When activated by binding a target nucleic acid sequence, the Cas protein cleaves a tether separating a reporter molecule from a capture moiety. The capture moiety can then be used to remove, localize, or sequester uncleaved molecule containing intact tethers. In some embodiments, the systems, methods, and devices may include a filter, a membrane, or other molecules that may help to separate the tethered and untethered reporter molecules and/or capture the reporter molecules. These devices, systems, and techniques allow a user to rapidly process samples that may contain the target nucleic acid, in some cases, without needing to amplify the target sequences, and without the need for sophisticated or expensive laboratory equipment.

  • Patent number: 7829737
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) that are useful for modulating the biological activity of the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1b (PTP1B) enzyme. Compounds of this invention can be used to treat diseases and/or conditions in which the PTP1B enzyme is a factor. Such diseases and/or conditions include, but are not limited to, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, inadequate glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL levels, atherosclerosis, vascular restenosis, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, adipose cell tumors, adipose cell carcinoma, liposarcoma, dyslipidemia, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
