Publication number: 20240060963Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions based on a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid construct encoding a fusion protein for quantitating levels of secretion in a single cell which may comprise a protein sequence which may comprise a cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain and a vesicular domain, wherein the vesicular domain may comprise a protein tag sequence, wherein upon expression of the fusion protein by a cell, the fusion protein localizes to the membrane of a secretory vesicle such that the protein tag localizes to the lumen of the secretory vesicle, and wherein the protein tag binds to a cell-impermeable marker; whereby upon secretion of the contents of the secretory vesicle, the protein tag is exposed to the cell-impermeable marker, the fusion protein is recycled back into the cell, and the single cell becomes labeled with the marker relative to the amount of secretion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicants: THE GENERAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION, THE BROAD INSTITUTE, INC.Inventors: Sean Burns, Jason Wright, Thomas Sundberg

Publication number: 20230415625Abstract: The present application relates to an arm rest trash compartment. An arm rest assembly includes an arm rest body having an A-surface with a trash cavity defined therethrough; and a trash compartment corresponding to the trash cavity. The trash compartment includes a movable member releasably secured at the A-surface, and a flexible member which forms the trash cavity. The trash compartment has a stored position and an extended position, where, in the stored position, the movable member is flush with the A-surface, and in the extended position, at least a portion of the flexible member is positioned below the A-surface such that a trash cavity volume in the extended position is greater than a trash cavity volume in the stored position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Lear CorporationInventors: Lea Thomas SMITH, Thomas SUNDBERG, Jochen KOHLHOFER

Patent number: 11725011Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), (II), and (III). The provided compounds are able to bind protein kinases (e.g., SIK) and may be useful in modulating (e.g., inhibiting) the activity of a protein kinase (e.g., SIK, (e.g., SIK1, SIK2, or SIK3)) in a subject or cell. The provided compounds may be useful in treating or preventing a disease (e.g., proliferative disease, musculoskeletal disease, genetic disease, hematological disease, neurological disease, painful condition, psychiatric disorder, or metabolic disorder) in a subject in need thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods, and uses that include or involve a compound described herein.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignees: THE GENERAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION, DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE, INC., THE BROAD INSTITUTE, INC.Inventors: Nathanael S.
