Abstract

The process of the present invention is used to prepare agglomerated, crystalline particles of medium chain fatty acid sodium salts, such as sodium caprate. This process comprises the steps of: a) dissolving a medium chain fatty acid in a first solvent to produce a first solution, wherein the first solvent comprises an aprotic polar solvent; b) adding to the first solution (i) a second solvent, wherein the second solvent comprises a medium chain aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, and (ii) a solution comprising a sodium salt of a short chain alcohol to create a resulting slurry; and c) isolating agglomerated crystals from the resulting slurry. The first solvent may comprise acetonitrile, and the second solvent may comprise heptane. Further provided are products generated by this process, including sodium caprate products having superior flowability and compression properties.

EVALUATING NEURAL NETWORK PREDICTION CONFIDENCE USING GENERATIVE RECONSTRUCTION OF TEST IMAGE

  • Chen, Antong

Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for evaluating neural network prediction by leveraging generative reconstructions of a test image to assess confidence in the prediction. The system obtains a test image of a tissue histology slide. The system generates seeds from applying a dropout filter to the test image. The system generates, for each seed, a synthetic image by applying an image generator model to the seed. The system applies a prediction model (e.g., a neural network) to the test image to generate a prediction for the test image of whether the tissue is normal or anormal. The system applies the prediction model to each synthetic image to generate a prediction for the synthetic image of whether the tissue is normal or anormal. The system determines a final prediction for the test image and a confidence associated with the final prediction based on the predictions for the test image and the synthetic images. The system may augment the test image with a label indicating the final prediction and the confidence associated with the final prediction.

Abstract

The invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases associated with amyloid deposits of Aβ in the brain of a patient, such as Alzheimer's Disease. Such methods entail administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunogenic fragment of Aβ capable of inducing a beneficial immune response in the form of antibodies to Aβ. The immunogenic fragments comprise linear or multivalent peptides of Aβ. Pharmaceutical compositions comprise the immunogenic fragment chemically linked to a carrier molecule which may be administered with an adjuvant.

Abstract

Human tau protein phosphorylated at the amino acid, serine 413 (pS413 tau), can serve as a biomarker for tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease. Detection and quantitation of pS413 tau in a biological sample such as cerebrospinal fluid can be useful in developing therapeutics for certain tauopathies. However, pS413 tau is present in biological samples at very low levels. Thus, the invention provides a highly sensitive assay for the detection and quantitation of pS413 tau in a biological sample comprising a series of steps as described herein.

Abstract

A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a process attribute of a perfusion cell culture, the method comprising: generating an inline Raman spectra of a process attribute by taking multiple measurements of the concentration of the attribute, wherein the concentration is measured in a sample downstream of a perfusion bioreactor prior to purification of the cells in the culture, correlating the Raman spectra measurements with offline reference measurements of the concentration of the attribute, wherein the offline reference measurements were measured in one or more samples taken from the perfusion bioreactor, building a chemometrics model using the inline Rama spectra and the offline reference measurements, monitoring the concentration of the attribute downstream of the perfusion bioreactor; and using the chemometrics model to control the perfusion cell culture by maintaining the concentration of the process attribute.
