DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive storage disease caused by the absence of a-L-iduronidase (IDUA), resulting in systemic accumulation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) storage materials, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal dysplasias, cardiopulmonary obstruction, progressive neurologic impairment and death by age 15. MPS I is currently treated b ...

ACETYLENE-TERMINATED RESINS ARE ONE OF SEVERAL CANDIDATE POLYMERIC MATERIALS BEING DEVELOPED FOR POTENTIAL AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS. THE ACETYLENE-TERMINATED RESINS POSSESS PROPERTIES REQUIRED FOR THE PROPOSED APPLICATIONS SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, MOISTURE, AND SHEAR INSENSITIVITY. THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR THE COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURE OF THESE RESINS IN A COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF AN ESSEN ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Large insert DNA libraries are essential for the molecular analysis of the human genome and other genomes important to our well-being. Comparative genomics reveals new information about metabolic pathways, cancer, horizontal gene transfer, evolution, protein families, and the genetic repertoire of numerous species. It has also greatly increased the demand for a ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Large insert DMA libraries are essential resources for the molecular analysis of the human genome and other genomes important to our well-being. The identification of susceptibility genes for complex disorders is critically dependent on a complete and accurate sequence assembly. Comparative genomics reveals new information about metabolic pathways, cancer, hor ...

The proposed study aims at accelerated development of Mo-Si-B-X (X=Ti, Zr, Hf, Re, Mn) alloys with an optimized balance of properties, via an approach of integrating thermodynamic modeling with experimental study.   On the basis of the Mo-Si-B-X (X=Ti, Zr, Hf) database developed in Phase I, a thermodynamic database of the Mo-Si-B-O-X (X=Ti, Zr, Hf, Re, Mn) system will be developed using the Calp ...

Project Summary/AbstractNeurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, exert a devastating personal and economic toll on patients, families, caregivers, and society. This is in part due to our failure to develop effective medications, reflecting drug discovery platforms that are often not relevant to target diseases. The recent development of induced pluripotent stem cell ...
