UNC Chapel Hill files patent US7279327: Methods for producing recombinant coronavirus

A helper cell for producing an infectious, replication defective, coronavirus (or more generally nidovirus) particle cell comprises (a) a nidovirus permissive cell; (b) a nidovirus replicon RNA comprising the nidovirus packaging signal and a heterologous RNA sequence, wherein the replicon RNA further lacks a sequence encoding at least one nidovirus structural protein; and (c) at…

Sequoia Pharmaceuticals files patent US7151163: Antiviral agents for the treatment, control and prevention of infections by coronaviruses

The invention provides compositions and methods that are useful for preventing and treating a coronavirus infection in a subject. More specifically, the invention provides peptides and conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions containing those peptides and conjugates that block fusion of a coronavirus, such as the SARS virus, to a target cell. This blocking mechanism prevents or…

Ablynx files patent US9193780: Amino acid sequences directed against envelope proteins of a virus and polypeptides comprising the same for the treatment of viral diseases

The present invention relates in part to amino acid sequences that are directed against and/or that can specifically bind to an envelope protein of a virus, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. — Patent US9193780B2…

Charges filed against WHO, UN, others.

Journalist Jane Bürgermeister files charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several of the highest-ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism and attempts to commit mass murder.  She has also prepared an injunction against forced vaccination which is being filed in America. These actions follow her charges…

Harvard Magazine: Virus-Sized Transistors

Hyman professor of chemistry Charles Lieber has created a transistor so small it can be used to penetrate cell membranes and probe their interiors, without disrupting function. The transistor (yellow) sits near the bend in a hairpin-shaped, lipid-coated silicon nanowire. Its scale is similar to that of intra-cellular structures such as organelles (pink and blue…

Cambrian Genomics founded.

Austen Heinz of Cambrian Genomics developed a method for laser-printing DNA. The original website had DARPA insignia on it. The company also worked with pharmaceutical companies.

Austen Heinz files patent US9121825: Methods and apparatuses for MEMs based recovery of sequence verified DNA

A method of retrieving sequence-verified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) includes positioning a sequence-verified DNA molecule on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) substrate. The MEMS substrate includes an electrostatic actuator and the sequence-verified DNA molecule is positioned adjacent to a moving element. The method also includes applying a voltage between the moving element and a stator to cause…

“Dr. Ardis Was WRONG”

Dr. Jane Ruby:  So tell us.  What did you get wrong? Dr. Bryan Ardis:  Yeah, it’s very interesting.  You reached out to me.  I said, wow, I had no idea.  When we first started talking about it, when Watch the Water dropped with Stew Peters, I was absolutely convinced from the research studies out of China…
