20080214666 | Products and Methods Related to Mono-Methyl Branched-Chain Fatty Acids - Disclosed are genes and proteins related to the biosynthesis and function of mono-methyl branched-chain fatty acids (mmBCFA) in eukaryotes, as well as the functions of mmBCFA in eukaryotic organisms. Also disclosed are methods to regulate the biosynthesis and function of mmBCFA in an organism, methods to use the valuable targets associated with mmBCFA biosynthesis and function as therapeutic agents and to screen for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, or to investigate or screen for regulators of metabolism, growth, development, and reproduction in eukaryotes. The present invention also includes highly specific and useful animal models for mmBCFA biosynthesis and function that can be used to explore pharmaceutical applications of the mmBCFA-involved biological processes. | 09-04-2008 |

20130144266 | METHODS FOR REDUCING THE BLOOD PRIMING VOLUME AND MEMBRANE SURFACE AREA IN MICROFLUIDIC LUNG ASSIST DEVICES - A device and method for oxygenating blood is disclosed herein. The device includes a plurality of passive mixing elements that causes a fluid to mix as it flows through the device. The passive mixing elements continually expose new red blood cells to the portion of the flow channel where oxygenation can occur. Accordingly, in some implementations, the device and method uses less blood to prime the device and allows for the oxygenation of blood with a substantial shorter flow channel when compared to conventional oxygenation methods and devices. | 06-06-2013 |
