Title: Facet joint implant crosslinking apparatus and method
Inventor: CHERVITZ ALAN
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2006-03-27
Abstract: A crosslink is provided for securing orthopedic implants, such as facet joint replacement implants, together. The crosslink has a pair of implant coupling components, a pair of rod coupling components, a rod, and a pair of fasteners.  Each facet joint implant may include a semicylindrical interface received in a resilient member of the corresponding implant coupling component to permit relative cephalad/caudal adjustment between the crosslink and the implants.  The resilient members grip the semicylindrical interface of the implant to enable at least temporary attachment of the implant coupling components to the implants independently of the rod.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of genetics, especially plant genetics, and provides agents capable of controlling gene expression. The present invention specifically pro vides sequences of naturally occurring, tissue-specifically expressed microRNAs. The invention further provides for transgenic expression constructs comprising sequences encoding said microRNAs.  By incorporation of the microRNA encoding sequence the expression from said expression construct is specifically silenced in the tissue where the naturally occurring microRNA is naturally expressed. Thereby the expression profile resulting from the promoter is modulated and leakiness is reduced. The invention fur ther provides for a method for modulating transgenic expression by incorporating se quences encoding said microRNAs into transgenic expression constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention can be used to enhance performance of agricul tural relevant crops and for therapy, prophylaxis, research and diagnostics in diseases and disorders, which afflict mammalian species.
