Abstract:
A system and method for evaluating Boolean functions using in-memory computing comprising a plurality of programmed non-volatile memory devices synthesized in a crossbar design. The evaluation phase of a given Boolean function using the programmed non-volatile memory devices is accomplished using READ operations only.
Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to a modified MC1R peptide ligand comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) ligand and a functionality or linker, such as a click functionality, for conjugation to a surface or agent. The modified MC1R peptide ligand can be coupled, e.g., via a click reaction with a complementary click functionality attached, to a moiety to form an MC1R-targeted agent. Drugs, contrast agents, polymers, particles, micelles, surfaces of larger structures, or other moieties can be targeted to the MC1R. The subject invention also pertains to a MC1R peptide ligand-micelle complex comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor ligand connected via a click reaction product to a micelle. The micelle is stable in vivo and can target melanoma tumor cells by association of the peptide ligand with the MC1R or the tumor and selectively provide a detectable and/or therapeutic agent (such as an imageable contrast agent and/or anti-cancer agent) selectively to the tumor cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds and methods which may be useful as inhibitors of HIF pathway activity for the treatment or prevention of cancer and other hypoxia-mediated diseases.
Abstract:
The invention relates to computer-based methods, systems, and mediums for identifying a change to the cumulative characterization of certain brain performance data collected from an individual, wherein the collected brain performance data is directly related to how at least one of the individual's neuromotor or cognitive brain functions is performing, hereinafter such a cumulative characterization is referred to as the individual's “Brain Performance Profile”. The computer-based methods, systems, and mediums of the present invention identify and monitor changes in an individual's Brain Performance Profile by employing a computer system which is programmed and configured to perform at least the following tasks: to compute an individual's Normal Brain Performance Profile through the implementation of a test session taken at least two separate times; to compute the individual's Current Brain Performance Profile through the implementation of the test session taken at a time after their Normal Brain Performance Profile has been computed; and, to calculate whether a change to the individual's Brain Performance Profile has occurred through a mathematical manipulation of their Normal Brain Performance Profile and their Current Brain Performance Profile.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to salts of heterocyclic compounds and methods that inhibit HIF pathway activity. The compounds are designed to treat or prevent cancer and other hypoxia-mediated diseases.

Abstract:
Antagonists of null4 integrin/null4 integrin ligand adhesion, which inhibit the biological effects of such adhesion are described and methods for their use are detailed. Such antagonists are useful in suppressing bone destruction associated with multiple myeloma. The homing of multiple myeloma cells to bone marrow and their null4 integrin-dependent release of bone-resorbing factors, resulting in bone destruction in patients with multiple myeloma, is inhibited.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting the degeneration of retinal pigment epithelial cells, which can reduce the incidence of, or delay the onset of, age-related macular degeneration, particularly in the early stages of AMD or in individuals at high risk for the disease.
