The invention provides new compositions and methods for immunomodulation of individuals. Immunomodulation is accomplished by administration of immunomodulatory polynucleotide / microcarrier (IMP / MC) complexes. The IMP / MC complexes may be covalently or non-covalently bound, and feature a polynucleotide comprising at least one immunostimulatory sequence bound to a nonbiodegradable microcarrier or nanocarrier.

The present invention generally relates to methods and compositions for treating neurological disorders and diseases. In addition, methods for selecting therapeutic agents useful for treating neurological disorders and diseases are provided.

Articulation devices, systems, methods for articulation, and methods for fabricating articulation structures will often include simple balloon arrays, with inflation of the balloons interacting with elongate skeletal support structures so as to locally alter articulation of the skeleton. The balloons can be mounted to a substrate of the array, with the substrate having channels that can direct inflation fluid to a subset of the balloons. The articulation array structure may be formed using simple planar 3-D printing, extrusion, and / or micromachining techniques. The skeleton may comprise a simple helical coil, and the array can be used to locally deflect or elongate an axis of the coil under control of a processor. Inflation fluid may be directed to the balloons from an inflation fluid reservoir of an inflation system, with the inflation system preferably including valves controlled by the processor. The articulation structures can be employed in minimally invasive medical catheter systems, and also for industrial robotics, for supporting imaging systems, for entertainment and consumer products, and the like.

The invention provides a terahertz modulator based on low-dimension electron plasma waves, a manufacturing method thereof and a high-speed modulation method. The terahertz modulator comprises a plasmon and a resonant cavity. The resonance absorption mechanism is caused by electronic collective oscillation (plasma waves, namely Plasmon). In order to increase the coupling strength of the plasma waves and the plasmon, a GaN / AlGaN high-electronic-mobility transistor structure with a raster grid is integrated in a terahertz Fabry-Perot resonant cavity, plasmon polariton is formed through strong coupling of the plasmon and the resonant cavity mode. By means of the strong coupling effect, the transmission coefficient of the resonant cavity mode is the maximum at the resonance point, resonance conditions of the plasmon and the resonant cavity mode are adjusted and controlled by changing the raster pressure, and efficient and high-speed modulation for terahertz waves is achieved. The working principle and the achieving technology of the device are introduced in detail, and a good solution is provided for relevant applications.
