    Abstract: It is a main object of the present invention to provide a process for producing an insulin-producing cell from a somatic cell without performing artificial gene transfer, an insulin-producing cell obtained from the process, or a composition comprising a combination of chemical substances that can be used for the process. The present invention can include, for example: a process for producing an insulin-producing cell from a somatic cell by direct differentiation induction, comprising a step of culturing a somatic cell in the presence of an RSK inhibitor; an insulin-producing cell obtained from the process; and a composition for producing an insulin-producing cell from a somatic cell by directly inducing differentiation, comprising an RSK inhibitor. The insulin-producing cells obtained according to the present invention are useful in regenerative medicine and the like.

    Abstract: A cell culture tool configured to be produced in a simple facility to obtain a cell mass having a desired shape. The cell culture tool includes a cell culture base layer that contains a cell culture base. The cell culture base layer has a cell adhesive area to which a cell is adherable and a cell adhesion inhibitory area where cell adhesion is inhibited. The cell adhesion inhibitory area includes a modified product of the cell culture base.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a phase difference observation apparatus that can reduce the size of the apparatus by not requiring an additional imaging unit and can suppress deterioration of the phase difference image due to the meniscus. The phase difference observation apparatus of the present invention includes a light source; an illumination optical system that guides illumination light from the light source to an observation target object in a cell culture vessel; an imaging optical system that forms an optical image of the observation target object on an image sensor; and a control unit. The illumination optical system includes a spatial modulator that changes an intensity distribution of the illumination light, the control unit contains intensity distribution correction information associating a position of the imaging optical system with respect to the cell culture vessel with an intensity distribution of illumination light at the position of the imaging optical system, the control unit acquires imaging system position information, which is the position of the imaging optical system, and the control unit changes an intensity distribution of illumination light in the spatial modulator on the basis of the imaging system position information and the intensity distribution correction information.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a cell treatment apparatus capable of treating cells in a cell culture vessel. The cell treatment apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes a first region 1, a second region 3, and a third region 5. The first region 1 and the second region 3 are placed in succession. The first region 1 is a cell treatment chamber for treating cells. The cell treatment chamber can be closed from the outside of the cell treatment chamber and includes a culture vessel placement portion for placing a cell culture vessel. The second region 3 includes: a laser irradiation device capable of irradiating the cell culture vessel placed in the culture vessel placement portion with a laser; and a spot diameter adjustment device that adjusts a spot diameter formed in a portion to be irradiated with the laser in an object to be irradiated. The third region 5 includes a control device that controls at least one device in the cell treatment apparatus 100 and a power supply device 52 that supplies electric power to at least one device in the cell treatment apparatus 100. The culture vessel placement portion is placed to be adjacent to the second region 3 in the cell treatment chamber. An adjacent portion to the second region 3 in the culture vessel placement portion is translucent.
