Abstract:
Disclosed is a three-dimensional tissue comprising cells and collagen including endogenous collagen, wherein at least a portion of the cells is adhered to the collagen, and the content of the collagen is from 10 wt % to 90 wt % based on the three-dimensional tissue.
Abstract:
A method of producing drug resistant cells including contacting exosomes from a living organism exhibiting drug resistance with cells exhibiting no drug resistance such that drug resistant cells are formed, and culturing the drug resistant cells.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an extracellular-matrix-containing composition comprising: a fragmented extracellular matrix component, wherein at least a part of the fragmented extracellular matrix component is crosslinked.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a target nucleic acid using a catalytic nucleic acid, which can improve the reaction efficiency of a catalytic nucleic acid and achieve continuous reaction under isothermal conditions. The method for detecting a target nucleic acid includes a reaction step to obtain a first nucleic acid product by hybridizing a first nucleic acid which is a substrate to a first binding site of a catalytic nucleic acid equipped with an active site having a catalytic action; and a detection step for detecting at least one of the first nucleic acid product or unreacted first nucleic acids, wherein, the hybridization is carried out in the presence of a cationic comb-type polymer.
Abstract:
A method for predicting long-term efficacy of a VEGF inhibitor of the present invention includes determining whether or not an RAS gene-derived nucleic acid or an RAS protein is present in a blood sample collected from a subject, determines whether the RAS gene-derived nucleic acid in the blood sample is a wild type or a mutant or whether the RAS protein in the blood sample is a wild type or a mutant, determining that an antitumor effect resulting from the VEGF inhibitor is highly likely to last for a long period of time in the subject in a case where a wild-type RAS gene-derived nucleic acid or a wild-type RAS protein is detected in the blood sample and a mutant RAS gene-derived nucleic acid or a mutant RAS protein is not detected in the blood sample.
