Abstract:
A normal regenerated tissue is formed by exposing to radiation a connective tissue or a supporting tissue originating in an organ to thereby form a feeder layer and then transplanting epithelial cells thereon to form a stratified structure. By conveniently and surely providing regenerated tissue by the 3-dimensional culture with the use of a human-origin normal tissue as a base, it is possible to construct systems for assessing effects and side effects of chemicals such as drugs or assessing sensitivities thereof with the use of regenerated tissues as models of corresponding tissues respectively.

Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to isolate and identify a gene encoding the polypeptide that interacts with calreticulin (CRT), and to provide the gene and the use thereof. Specifically, an objective of the present invention is to provide the CRTintP gene, the transformed plants comprising the CRTintP gene, and a method of producing these transformed plants. The present inventors successfully detected a group of CRT-interacting genes using the yeast two-hybrid method. As a result, the present inventors detected the polynucleotide encoding the CRT-interacting polypeptide (named as CRTintP). Furthermore, the present inventors isolated the full-length cDNA encoding the CRTintP and revealed that the gene encoding the cDNA was novel. It was found that the expression of the CRT and CRTintP genes was significantly increased following application of cold stress in rice leaves.
Abstract:
A method for screening the effect of a segment A (chemical species A) on a substance (for example, a cell) containing DNA or RNA by using artificial chemical species. Namely, a method of detecting or identifying the function of a chemical species A on a substance containing DNA or RNA by using one or more chemical species represented by the following general formula (I) which are capable of recognizing a DNA base sequence; a kit therefor; and a plate to be used therein: B-L-A (I) wherein B represents a chemical structure containing an non-natural base capable of recognizing a DNA base sequence; A represents a chemical structure having an interaction with DNA; and L represents a linker whereby the chemical structures A and B can be linked together.

Abstract:
A photo-induced phase transition organic material is composed of a diheteroarylethene-based compound within which the photo-chromic reaction occurs in the crystalline state. The diheteroarylethene-based compound of the present invention reversibly changes in color with light irradiation and also changes in phase from the open-ring form in the crystalline state to the closed-ring form in the crystalline state, or from the closed-ring form in the crystalline state to the open-ring form in the crystalline state via the liquid state, and can be applicable to optical recording media, display panels, sensors, optical switch devices and the like, by taking advantages of its variations in color with light irradiation and also its changes in physical property, such as the refractive index and the permeability, with its changes in phase.

Abstract:
A micro electron gun that is capable of extracting electrons from a semiconductor utilizing a quantum size effect and that can be mounted individually for each of pixels is disclosed, as well as a picture display apparatus using such electron guns which is high in quantum efficiency, of high brightness and thin, as well as methods of manufacture thereof. Conduction electrons from a n-type semiconductor substrate (2) are accelerated under an electric field through a layer or layers (4) of quantum size effect micro particles (3) formed on surfaces of the n-type semiconductor substrate (2) and passed therethrough without undergoing phonon scattering, so that they when arriving at an electrode (5) may possess an amount of energy not less than the work function of the electrode (5) and are thus allowed to spring out into a vacuum. Such a quantum size effect micro particle (3) comprises a micro particle of a single crystal semiconductor in a nanometer order having electron energy levels made so discrete that no phonon scattering is brought about, and on its surface area an insulator so thin that an electron is capable of tunneling therethrough.
