  • Publication number: 20210353686
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel method for making it possible to efficiently induce/produce endocrine cells from pluripotent stem cells. Insulin-producing cells including cells that are insulin-positive and NKX6.1-positive cells in a ratio of at least 30% and cells that are insulin-positive and NKX6.1-negative in a ratio of more than 15%.

  • Patent number: 10968796
    Abstract: The disclosure prevents oil separated from blow-by gas by using a breather chamber and discharged to a valve chamber from leaking to the outside from a breather chamber mounting surface between the breather chamber and the valve chamber. A breather chamber includes cylindrical drain passages communicating with a valve chamber, and tips of the drain passages exceed breather chamber mounting surfaces of a cylinder head and a head cover and protrude from opening parts toward a side of the valve chamber, so the oil separated from the blow-by gas in the breather chamber can be reliably discharged to the valve chamber and prevented from leaking to the outside from the breather chamber mounting surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20210060210
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for removing highly proliferative Ki67-positive cells co-present in insulin-secreting cells obtained by differentiation induction. A method for producing an insulin-producing cell population or a pancreatic beta cell population containing less than 3% of Ki67-positive cells, comprising: embedding an endocrine progenitor cell population or a cell population at a later stage of differentiation into a gel containing alginic acid; and differentiating the cell population.
