20110038923 | ADIPOCYTE-SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING PLATELET-TYPE 12 LIPOXYGENASE EXPRESSION - The present invention is directed to constructs, compositions and methods for modulating platelet-type 12 lipoxygenase (12-LO) in adipose tissue in vivo. Specifically, the invention provides constructs encoding expression-inhibiting oligonucleic acids, e.g., antisense and RNA interfering (RNAi) molecules, targeted to a platelet-type 12-LO gene or a transcript thereof, which are capable of reducing or silencing platelet-type 12-LO expression specifically in adipocytes and pre-adipocytes. Vectors of these constructs (including, but not limited to, viral vectors), compositions of them and methods of using same for the treatment and amelioration of conditions associated with excess fat cell mass and obesity are also provided. | 02-17-2011 |

20110206246 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STATISTICAL MAPPING BETWEEN GENETIC INFORMATION AND FACIAL IMAGE DATA - A method and system for statistical mapping between genetic information and facial image data including collecting a multiplicity of sets of genetic information and matching facial image data representing a multiplicity of individuals, representing the genetic information of each of the multiplicity of individuals as a first multidimensional representation, representing the facial image data of each of the multiplicity of individuals as a second multidimensional representation; and inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships between the first multidimensional representations and the second multidimensional representations. A system and method for estimating the likelihood of donor-recipient transplant compatibility using facial images of potential donors, the method including inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships, indicative of transplant compatibility, between multidimensional representations of facial image data of potential donors and a multidimensional representation of information relating to a potential recipient. | 08-25-2011 |
