Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods of prenatal diagnosis, screening, monitoring and/or testing. The inventive methods include the analysis by array-based hybridization of cell-free fetal DNA isolated from amniotic fluid. In addition to allowing the prenatal diagnosis of a variety of diseases and conditions, and the assessment of fetal characteristics such as fetal sex and chromosomal abnormalities, the new inventive methods provide substantially more information about the fetal genome in less time than it takes to perform a conventional metaphase karyotype analysis. In particular, the enhanced molecular karyotype methods provided by the present invention allow the detection of chromosomal aberrations that are not often detected prenatally such as microdeletions, microduplications and subtelomeric rearrangements.

Title: Tissue system with undifferentiated stem cells derived from corneal limbus
Inventor: TOTEY SATISH MAHADEORAO
IPC: A61K35/44
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: The present disclosure describes a tissue system with self-regenerating limbal stem cells, wherein the limbal stem cells are primarily undifferentiated stem cells (USCs). The tissue system is derived from isolated corneal limbal tissue, and is suitable for restoring ocular surface impairments, particularly those that result from limbal stem cell deficiencies. The tissue system is generated by selectively augmenting the tissue system for USCs, for example by selecting and sorting cells that express stem cell-specific surface markers, such as stage specific embryonic antigen marker 4 (SSEA-4). After isolation, the USCs are cultured on a tissue base in the presence of enriched medium to generate the tissue system, which is suitable for transplantation, implantation, or grafting.

Title: Selective withdrawal of reducing sugars during blanching
Inventor: DE WAELE ERWIN THEOFIEL
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a process of producing a food product by heat-treating a food material containing reducing sugars, comprising the step of blanching the food material, wherein the blanching step comprises subjecting the food product to an active blanching medium under blanching conditions in a blanching section to produce spent blanching medium, withdrawing reducing sugars from the spent blanching medium to produce active blanching medium using a sugar-withdrawing means, and reusing the active blanching medium. The process can be performed in one section, or the reducing sugars can be withdrawn in a desugaring section which is separated from the blanching section, recycling the treated active blanching medium to the blanching section. The process can also be applied to withdraw asparagine, or a combination of reducing sugars and asparagine. The sugar-withdrawing means can be a conversion agent capable of withdrawing reducing sugars such as bacteria, yeasts and moulds, in which case the selective withdrawal is called fermentation, and enzymes, or it can be a sorbent capable of selectively adsorbing reducing sugars or asparagine in a chromatographic separation.
