  • Light activated photoreaction via genetic hybridization of far-red fluorescent protein and silk
    Patent number: 11925118
    Abstract: A method of inactivating harmful microorganisms of a filtration medium including pathogenic bacteria and viruses is disclosed which includes placing a predetermined quantity of a hybridized fluorescent silk on to a filtration medium, applying light for a predetermined amount of time to the placed quantity of the hybridized fluorescent silk, and passing a fluid through the medium, wherein the fluid is one of substantially air or substantially water, wherein the hybridized fluorescent silk is one of KillerRed, SuperNova, KillerOrange, Dronpa, TurboGFP, mCherry, or any combination thereof.

  • Light activated photoreaction via genetic hybridization of far-red fluorescent protein and silk
    Patent number: 11925117
    Abstract: A method of disinfection of a surface of a subject of harmful microorganisms including pathogenic bacteria and viruses upon visible light irradiation using a hybridized fluorescent silk is provided. The method includes placing a predetermined quantity of the hybridized fluorescent silk i) directly on to a skin surface of a subject; or ii) on a medium and then placing the medium on the skin surface of the subject. The method further includes applying light in the visible spectrum for a predetermined amount of time to the placed quantity of hybridized fluorescent silk, wherein the hybridized fluorescent silk is one of KillerRed, SuperNova, KillerOrange, Dronpa, TurboGFP, mCherry, or any combination thereof.

  • Identification, assessment, and therapy of cancers with innate or acquired resistance to ALK inhibitors
    Patent number: 9018230
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions, kits, and methods for determining whether subjects having cancer(s) positive for ALK mutations are likely to respond to treatment with an ALK inhibitor and/or whether a patient having such cancer(s) is likely to have a relatively slower disease progression. Further described are methods for prognosing a time course of disease in a subject having such cancer.
