A protein comprising an amino acid sequence having substitutions of the 312th to the 318th amino acids with glycine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, serine, glycine and threonine in order, respectively, in an amino acid sequence of a β-subunit of wild-type human β-hexosaminidase.
Abstract:
This invention is related to an optical-analysis-type raw material fluid density detector including a detector main body and a light oscillation unit and a light detection unit that are provided on the upper surface or the under surface of the detector main body, in which the detector main body has at least one recess formed in the upper surface and the under surface, a fluid flow path connecting a fluid inlet of the detector main body to the recess, a fluid flow path connecting the recesses to each other, and a fluid flow path connecting the recess to a fluid outlet of the detector main body; the light oscillation unit is disposed in the recess that is closest to the inlet; and light detection units are disposed in the remaining recesses.
Abstract:
Provided are a stock solution concentrating device, a stock solution treatment device and a circulation-type treatment device that can prevent the deposition of cells and the like on a filtration member and that can continuously filter and concentrate a stock solution such as pleural and ascitic fluid or blood plasma. The stock solution concentrating device concentrates a stock solution such as pleural and ascitic fluid or blood plasma to form a concentrated solution, and is equipped with: a filter (10) having a filtration member that filters the stock solution; a concentrator (20) to which the filtrate which has been filtered is supplied, and which concentrates the filtrate to form a concentrated solution; and a stock solution supply unit that supplies the stock solution to the filter (10). The stock solution supply unit has a supply amount adjustment function for adjusting the amount of the stock solution supplied to the filter.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Provided is a method for targeting a target nucleotide sequence. The method includes introducing, into a cell: (i) CRISPR type I-D related proteins Cas5d, Cas6d, and Cas7d, or nucleic acids encoding these proteins; and (ii) a guide RNA which includes a sequence complementary to said target nucleotide sequence and common repetitive sequences derived from CRISPR gene locus before and after said complementary sequence, or a DNA encoding said guide RNA.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing insulin-producing cells having sufficient glucose responsiveness from mesenchymal stem cells, an insulin-producing cell having sufficient glucose responsiveness, a cell structure containing the insulin-producing cell, and a pharmaceutical composition. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for producing an insulin-producing cell from a mesenchymal stem cell, including (a) a step of producing a cell structure by incubating a plurality of biocompatible macromolecular blocks and a plurality of mesenchymal stem cells, and (b) a step of culturing one or more of the mesenchymal stem cells before the incubation in the step (a), the mesenchymal stem cell in the incubation in the step (a), or the cell structure produced in the step (a) in a medium containing the GLP-1 receptor agonist, and (c) a step of culturing the cell structure obtained in the step (a) or the step (b) in a medium containing the water-soluble vitamin and the hepatocyte growth factor.
Abstract:
A novel tissue usable for a kidney tissue model is provided. A method for producing a kidney-like tissue includes co-culturing a cell group containing mesenchymal stem cells, vascular endothelial cells, and clonal embryonic kidney cells.
Abstract:
An object to be achieved by the present in is to prepare a droplet using a protein that has not been known heretofore to form a droplet. The present invention provides a droplet including an assembly of a protein, wherein the protein is a PDI family protein and/or an artificial protein, and contains a thioredoxin-like domain.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a medical Au-Pt-Pd alloy including Au, Pt,Pd, and inevitable impurities. The Au-Pt-Pd alloy has an alloy compositioninside a polygon (A1-A2-A3-A4) surrounded by straight lines connected at pointA1 (Au: 53 atom%, Pt: 4 atom%, and Pd: 43 atom%), point A2 (Au: 70 atom%,Pt: 4 atom%, and Pd: 26 atom%), point A3 (Au: 69.9 atom%, Pt: 30 atom%, and Pd: 0.1 atom%), and point A4 (Au: 49.9 atom%, Pt: 50 atom%, and Pd: 0.1 atom%) in a Au-Pt-Pd ternary state diagram. In a metal structure of the alloy, at least one of a Au-rich phase and a Pt-rich phase is distributed, and the total of the area ratio of the Au-rich phase and the area ratio of the Pt-rich phase is 1.5% or more and 25.4% or less.
