  • Patent number: 11879154
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of genetic modification of an enzyme preparation and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-stability superoxide dismutase with a transmembrane capability. The method includes the following steps: extracting mRNA from Geobacillus stearothermophilus, synthesizing cDNA by a reverse transcription method, amplifying a large number of coding regions of the cDNA by designing a specific primer, ligating the coding regions to an E. coli expression vector, and transforming the coding regions into engineering bacteria BL21 (DE3). A point mutation technology is used to enhance stability of the superoxide dismutase and a flexible polypeptide linker GGGSGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 11) is designed, such that a soluble fusion expression of a transmembrane peptide YGRKKRRQRRR (SEQ ID NO: 10) and the superoxide dismutase is successfully realized.

  • Patent number: 11065294
    Abstract: Provided is a composition for enhancing effects of an anticancer agent using an oriental medicine, jaeumganghwa-tang, bojungikgi-tang, or yukmijihwang-tang. More particularly, provided is a composition for treating a neoplastic disease by administering an anticancer agent into an individual, and administering an oriental medicine into the individual within 30 minutes. The composition remarkably reduces side effects occurring when the anticancer agent is administered alone by co-administration of the oriental medicine, reduces cytotoxicity, and has higher anticancer activity than that when the anticancer agent is administered alone.

  • Patent number: 11053271
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for the integration (insertion) of a donor DNA molecule into a target DNA molecule. In general, the methods include contacting a target DNA molecule with a linear donor DNA molecule and a Cas 1 protein, where the target DNA molecule includes an AT-rich region (e.g., in some cases positioned 5 and within 50 nucleotides of a region that forms a DNA cruciform structure), where the contacting is not in a bacterial or archaeal cell (e.g., the contacting is in vitro outside of a cell, inside of a eukaryotic cell, etc.), and provides for integration of the donor DNA molecule into the target DNA molecule.

  • Patent number: 11049591
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that establishes communication between a host system and a user device. The host system automatically registers individualized diet data received from the user device. The individualized diet data has parameters indicative of type and quantity of foods or supplements consumed by a user during a defined time period. The parameters are analyzed with a predetermined rule set indicative of concentrations of DHA in select foods and supplements to determine a level of the user's DHA dietary intake relative to a recommended intake. An alert is generated by the host system and transmitted via at least one predetermined communication method and without user intervention, responsive to the user's dietary intake relative to the recommended intake being a predetermined relation to a baseline.

  • Patent number: 11041173
    Abstract: The invention provides for delivery, engineering and optimization of systems, methods, and compositions for manipulation of sequences and/or activities of target sequences. Provided are delivery systems and tissues or organ which are targeted as sites for delivery. Also provided are vectors and vector systems some of which encode one or more components of a CRISPR complex, as well as methods for the design and use of such vectors. Also provided are methods of directing CRISPR complex formation in eukaryotic cells to ensure enhanced specificity for target recognition and avoidance of toxicity and to edit or modify a target site in a genomic locus of interest to alter or improve the status of a disease or a condition.

  • Patent number: 11016104
    Abstract: A therapeutic composition for the treatment of the symptoms of neurological and mental health disorders, such as Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, and the method for preparing the therapeutic agents is disclosed. The therapeutic agent is a stable pharmaceutical preparation containing, but not limited to, digestive/pancreatic enzymes. The therapeutic agent may be manufactured by a variety of encapsulation technologies. Delivery of the therapeutic agent may be made orally, through injection, by adherence of a medicated patch or other method. Further, a method of using fecal chymotrypsin level as an indicator of the presence of neurological and mental health disorders, such as Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, or the likelihood of an individual to develop these disorders is disclosed.
