  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING MYC EXPRESSION
    Publication number: 20240132559
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for reducing expression of MYC gene in a cell. In some embodiments, an expression repressor comprises a targeting moiety that binds a MYC promoter, anchor sequence, or super-enhancer. In some embodiments, the expression repressor comprises an effector moiety that represses transcription or methylates DNA. Systems comprising two expression repressors are also disclosed. The compositions can be used, for example, to treat cancers such as HCC or NSCLC.

  • Method and apparatus for robust detection of the density of a pigmented layer
    Patent number: 7898666
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure can provide a method of detecting a density of a pigmented layer on an object. The method can include emitting a first modulated light onto a first portion of the object having the pigmented layer, detecting a first reflected light of the first modulated light from the first portion of the object, and determining the density of the pigmented layer according to the first reflected light. Furthermore, the method can include emitting a second modulated light onto a second portion of the object, detecting a second reflected light of the second modulated light from the second portion of the object, and determining the density of the pigmented layer according to a relative ratio that is related to the first reflected light and the second reflected light.
