49 results about "Functional selectivity" patented technology

Functional selectivity (or “agonist trafficking”, “biased agonism”, “biased signalling”, "ligand bias" and “differential engagement”) is the ligand-dependent selectivity for certain signal transduction pathways relative to a reference ligand (often the endogenous hormone or peptide) at the same receptor. Functional selectivity can be present when a receptor has several possible signal transduction pathways. To which degree each pathway is activated thus depends on which ligand binds to the receptor. Functional selectivity, or biased signalling, is most extensively characterized at G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). A number of biased agonists, such as those at muscarinic M2 receptors tested as analgesics or antiproliferative drugs, or those at opioid receptors that mediate pain, show potential at various receptor families to increase beneficial properties while reducing side effects. For example, pre-clinical studies with G protein biased agonists at the mu opioid receptor show equivalent efficacy for treating pain with reduced risk for addictive potential and respiratory depression. Studies within the chemokine receptor system also suggest that GPCR biased agonism is physiologically relevant. For example, a beta-arrestin biased agonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 induced greater chemotaxis of T cells relative to a G protein biased agonist.

Secure file system server architecture and methods

A data server platform includes a security file system layer interposed between the platform operating system kernel and file system. The secure file system layer is structured to implement a file access control function that selectively constrains data transfer operations initiated through the operating system kernel by an application program to transfer file data through the file system with respect to a persistent data store. A file access controller, implemented independent of the operating system kernel, is coupled to the security file system layer and supports the file access control function by defining permitted file data transfers through the file system. Management of the file access controller separate from the data server platform ensures that any security breach of the platform operating system kernel cannot compromise the function of the security file system layer.

Microwave oven and method of controlling the same by setting function buttons

A microwave oven and a method of controlling the same determine if a plurality of buttons causing specific functions of the microwave oven to be executed have been pressed to set buttons for desired functions in a memory unit. If the desired functions have not been set, a control unit reads out the functions stored in the memory unit, causes the functions to be displayed on the display unit, allows a user to select the desired functions, and correspondingly sets the desired functions to the buttons. Meanwhile, if the desired functions have been set, the control unit deletes or executes the desired functions corresponding to the buttons on the basis of a continuous pressing time of the buttons. Accordingly, the microwave oven and the method may selectively set various functions of the microwave oven to a predetermined number of function buttons, allowing execution of desired functions rapidly and easily.
