This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/412600, filed Oct. 25, 2016, the contents of which are fully incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 1 million Americans and 7 to 10 million people worldwide. With people living longer, more people are developing this common, debilitating neurological disorder. Parkinson's disease is characterized by disorders of movement, which are caused by the progressive loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), along with autonomic nervous system dysfunction, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and cognitive impairment that are due to the degeneration and dysfunction of other neuronal populations. To date there are no pharmaceutical therapies that impede or prevent the relentless neurodegeneration in PD. Although dopamine replacement alleviates symptomatic motor dysfunction, its effectiveness is reduced as the disease progresses, leading to unacceptable side effects, such as severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Moreover, this palliative therapeutic approach does not address the underlying mechanisms of the disease. Current treatments for PD are symptomatic therapies with many limitations.Abelson-family tyrosine kinases (ATKs), such as c-Abl1, c-Abl2, c-Kit (also known as SCF), PDGFRa, and PGDFRb, collectively referred to as c ...

The cavity has an axially-oriented channel extending the full width of the flexible anchor sheet member and opposing sets of retention walls defining lateral recesses, the combination of which precludes relative movement of the catheter fitting in all lateral directions.

Production of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in oilseed crops by a thraustochytrid pufa synthase

This disclosure concerns recombinant host organisms genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The disclosure also concerns methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.

Production of dha and other lc-pufas in plants

The invention provides recombinant host organisms ( e.g., plants) genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins ( e.g., PPTase and/or ACoAS) that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The present invention also relates to methods of making and using such organisms ( e.g., to obtain PUFAs) as well as products obtained from such organisms ( e.g., oil and/or seed).

High-Fiber-Density Optical Fiber Cable

Disclosed is a fiber-optic cable that possesses a high cable filling coefficient (and/or a high cable fiber density) yet ensures that its enclosed optical fibers demonstrate improved attenuation performance when subjected to temperature variations between about −40° C. and 70° C. The fiber-optic cable is suitable for efficient installation into ducts, such as via blowing.
