20140364402 | ASSAY FOR SCREENING COMPOUNDS THAT SELECTIVELY DECREASE THE NUMBER OF CANCER STEM CELLS - The present invention provides, inter alia, a method for identifying an agent that selectively decreases the number of cancer stem cells (CSCs). This method includes (a) contacting a CSC from a population of cells with a candidate agent; and (b) determining whether the candidate agent reduces the survival or growth of the CSC or increases differentiation of the CSC relative to a CSC that has not been contacted with the candidate agent. The method may be used as a high throughput screen. | 12-11-2014 |
20140171391 | METHOD FOR TREATING SEPSIS IN PATIENTS WITH ALBUMIN, CHOLESTEROL AND HDL LEVELS ABOVE MINIMUM THRESHOLDS - The invention relates to a method for treating sepsis in subjects who exhibit serum albumin levels, and one of total cholesterol or HDL levels, above minimum threshold values. The method involves intravenous administration of an emulsion, which contains a phospholipid, a neutral lipid, and a cholate salt. | 06-19-2014 |
20130202802 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF MACROBEADS - The invention relates to an improved method for making agarose coated, agarose beads which contain cells. The method which is preferably automated, involves placing manufactured beads in a sample of mineral oil at a temperature gradient, such that the temperature drops as the bead moves through the oil. Preferably, a “trumpet tool” and a “straw tool” are employed in the method. | 08-08-2013 |
