20100291689	Lanthanide Complexes as Fluorescent Indicators for Neutral Sugars and Cancer Diagnosis - A group of water-soluble salophene-lanthanide complexes and other salophene-metal complexes are useful for purposes including: (i) detecting neutral carbohydrates at physiologically-relevant pH, (ii) the selective detection of gangliosides, and (iii) the selective detection of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in the presence of phosphatidic acid. The selective detection of LPA is useful in diagnosing ovarian and other cancers.	11-18-2010
20090004657	7B2 Knockout transgenic animals as models of endocrine disease - In general, the invention features methods and uses for transposon-mediated gene targeting which greatly enhance the insertion and detection of desired genes in genomic exons by homologous recombination. The invention also features transgenic non-human mammals, and eukaryotic cells, wherein a gene encoding 7B2 protein is modified, as well as nucleic acid vectors capable of undergoing homologous recombination with an endogenous 7B2 gene in a cell. The invention also features transgenic non-human mammals as models of endocrine disorders, as well as methods for diagnosing and treating patients with endocrine disorders.	01-01-2009
