  • Publication number: 20250382107
    Abstract: A closure with a top panel, a skirt extending downward and away from the top panel, frangible connections that connect the skirt to a tamper band. The frangible connections provide a visual indication, when broken, that the closure has been opened. The closure includes a cap and a base that remain coupled via a hinge after the frangible connections are broken.

  • Publication number: 20250376534
    Abstract: Circular RNA, along with related compositions and methods are described herein. In some embodiments, the inventive circular RNA comprises group I intron fragments, spacers, an IRES, duplex forming regions, and an expression sequence. In some embodiments, the expression sequence encodes an antigen. In some embodiments, circular RNA of the invention has improved expression, functional stability, immunogenicity, ease of manufacturing, and/or half-life when compared to linear RNA. In some embodiments, inventive methods and constructs result in improved circularization efficiency, splicing efficiency, and/or purity when compared to existing RNA circularization approaches.

  • Publication number: 20250288878
    Abstract: A pickleball paddle may include a core, a vibration dampening layer coupled to the core, and an outer layer coupled to the vibration dampening layer. A pickleball paddle may include a core assembly including a core, an outer layer, an intermediate layer located between the core and the outer layer, and a vibration dampening layer coupled to at least one of the core, the intermediate layer, and the outer layer. A pickleball paddle may include a core assembly including a core, an outer layer, and a vibration dampening layer coupled to at least one of the core, and the outer layer.
