Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100233106SMALL-MOLECULE MODULATORS OF MELANIN EXPRESSION - The present invention relates to small molecule modulators of melanin expression and methods of making the small molecules. Also disclosed are methods of increasing pigmentation in a cell which involve providing compounds of the present invention and contacting a cell with the compounds under conditions effective to induce melanin expression in the cell, thereby increasing pigmentation. The present invention also relates to compositions containing compounds of the present invention and a carrier.09-16-2010

20100041568TRIPODAL CYCLOHEXANE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS CARBOHYDRATE RECEPTORS - A tri-podal compound according to formula (I) wherein, each Z is the same and is a substituted or unsubstituted N-heteroaromatic single-, multiple-, or fused-ring; and each A is the same, and can represent a direct bond between the cyclohexane ring and Z, or a carboxamide group (—C(O)—N(H)—). Use of the compounds in combinatorial libraries, methods of making the tripodal compounds, sensor devices for detecting carbohydrate targets, and methods of using the tripodal compounds to detect carbohydrate targets in a sample are also disclosed.02-18-2010
20100266677NUCLEIC ACID BINDING COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USE - The present invention relates to homo- and hetero-dimer compounds formed by a disulfide, sulfinyl thio, or olefin bond between two monomers. A method of making a homo- or hetero-dimer compound is also disclosed. The present invention also relates to monomer compounds capable of forming homo- or hetero-dimer compounds, as well as oligomers formed via linkage of one or more dimers. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting the activity of target RNA molecules, particularly those having a secondary structure that include a stem or stem-loop formation. Dimer compounds capable of inhibiting the activity of an HIV-I RNA frameshifting stem-loop and a (CUG)n expanded repeat stem-loop are disclosed, as are methods of treating diseases associated with these target RNA molecules. The dimer compounds can also be used for selectively detecting presence of the target RNA molecule in a sample.10-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110093078Intervertebral Spacer - An interbody spacer for insertion between vertebral members. The spacer includes a body having posterior and anterior sides, and inferior and superior faces. The spacer further includes a plurality of teeth to maintain the position of the spacer between the vertebral members. The teeth are aligned in a pattern and have a shape to allow insertion into the space between the vertebral members, and prevent or limit movement once the spacer is positioned in the space.04-21-2011

20080306484APPARATUS FOR KNEE SURGERY AND METHOD OF USE - The present invention comprises a set of instruments and a method for their use in preparing a knee joint to receive knee implants. The inventive instruments and method are generally suitable for knee joint surgery. Furthermore, they include features that make them suitable for performing a minimally invasive knee surgery in which a smaller than normal incision is made and oriented to preserve the quadriceps mechanism and protect the suprapatellar pouch. The instruments permit switching from a minimally invasive technique to a standard open technique at any point in the procedure. An illustrative set of instruments for total knee arthroplasty and an associated minimally invasive technique are described.12-11-2008

20100069914Methods and instrumentation for inserting intervertebral grafts and devices - Instruments for inserting an implant in a space between adjacent bony portions include upper and lower guide members separated by a spreader with the implant positioned forwardly of the spreader. The spreader is movable forwardly between the guide members with a drive member to position the implant in a space between the bony portions. The spreader contacts the adjacent bony portions to facilitate withdrawal of the inserter instrument when the implant is positioned in the space.03-18-2010
