We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center.

Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is an inherited neurological disorder caused by deficiency of hexosaminidase A (HexA). Here, we describe an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy expanded-access trial in two patients with infantile TSD (IND 18225) with safety as the primary endpoint and no secondary endpoints. Patient TSD-001 was treated at 30 months with an equimolar mix of AAVrh8-HEXA and AAVrh8-HEXB administered intrathecally (i.

Poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(4HB)) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) were blended with small amounts of the polysaccharides hyaluronic acid (HA), chitosan (CH), pectin and alginic acid, and were solution cast to produce porous films. The resulting composites had favorable mechanical properties, and these films were compared with two commercially available implantable films made of poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) (PLA copolymer) and HA benzyl ester.
