  • METHOD FOR INDUCING HIBERNATION-LIKE STATE AND DEVICE SAME
    Publication number: 20220323761
    Abstract: A method for inducing a hibernation-like state and a device for the same is described. The method is a chemical and physical method for reducing, in a subject, a theoretical set-point temperature of a body temperature and/or a feedback gain of heat production, or for inducing a hibernation-like state in the subject, the method including applying an excitatory stimulus to pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP)-producing neurons. A device used to implement the method is also described.

  • Gene knockout method
    Patent number: 10863730
    Abstract: A method for producing a cell in which a target gene is knocked out, the method including the step of: introducing a CRISPR-Cas system into a cell having one or more kinds of target genes, the CRISPR-Cas system being able to produce (i) three or more kinds of guide RNAs for each of the one or more kinds of target genes and (ii) a Cas protein. The present invention can provide a method that enables highly efficient (90% or more) production of whole-body biallelic knockout animals in a single generation.
