Abstract:
The types and relative proportions of cells constituting a cell sheet stack, and the number of cells to be seeded are altered to change the state of the cells in the cell sheet stack, whereby production of an angiogenesis-promoting cytokine as well as construction of a vascular endothelial network can be optimized.
Abstract:
Provided is a method that is able to simply promote cell proliferation. An aspect relates to a method for promoting proliferation of cells. The method includes adding a precursor of AGEs to a culture medium containing a cell aggregate, and culturing the cell aggregate in the culture medium to which the precursor of AGEs has been added
Abstract:
A method for producing a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell, including promoting differentiation induction from a pluripotent stem cell into an RPE cell by culturing the pluripotent stem cell in a medium containing an E-cadherin inhibitor is provided by the present invention.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an agent for directional control of differentiation induction of a pluripotent stem cell, comprising an E-cadherin inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a miniaturized hemagglutinin complex protein having function inhibitory activity against E-cadherin, wherein (a) all or a part of at least HA1 subcomponent, and/or a part of HA3 subcomponent are/is deleted, (b) regions in HA2 and HA3 subcomponents that contribute to binding with E-cadherin are present, and (c) the HA3 subcomponent is derived from Clostridium botulinum type A or type B, and an E-cadherin function inhibitor containing the hemagglutinin complex protein.
