  • Publication number: 20240390508
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a novel drug delivery system (DDS) technique capable of selectively delivering a drug (compound containing oligonucleotides for producing at least partially functional dystrophin protein) to muscle tissues such as cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and the like and efficiently introducing the drug into the muscle cells. The present invention relates to a conjugate or a salt thereof including the following: (1) a peptide that binds to a transferrin receptor, and contains the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 (Ala-Val-Phe-Val-Trp-Asn-Tyr-Tyr-Ile-Ile-Ser-Cys); or an amino acid sequence resulting from substitution, deletion, addition, and/or insertion of not less than one and not more than 10 amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and (2) a compound comprising an oligonucleotide for producing an at least partially functional dystrophin protein.

  • Patent number: 12064972
    Abstract: A liquid container includes a storage portion configured to store the liquid and a connection member. The connection member is provided with a liquid outlet which is inserted with a liquid introduction portion, a container-side electrical connector which makes electrical contact with an apparatus-side electrical connection unit while receive at least +Z direction force from the apparatus-side electrical connection unit, a first receiver configured to receive a first positioning portion, a second receiver configured to receive a second positioning portion, and a recess which houses a protrusion of the case. The recess and the container-side electrical connector are formed at positions which at least partially overlap each other when viewed from a Z direction in a mounting state. In the mounting state, the width of the liquid container in the Z directions is larger than the width in the Y directions and the width in the X directions.

  • Patent number: 6538348
    Abstract: In a state that a wafer stage is not positioned in the center of the Y-direction traveling range, thrusts Fa, Fb supplied from a pair of linear motors to a Y-direction stage are made different and the Y-direction stage is moved in the X direction so that moments Ma, Mb about the centroid of the Y-direction stage by the thrusts Fa, Fb cancel each other. Since the moments Ma, Mb about the centroid generated by the thrusts cancel each other and the thrusts do not act as forces for rotating the Y-direction stage, the Y-direction stage is not deflected in a yawing direction. Such a stage device as constructed above can prevent deflection in a yawing direction due to displacement of the centroid position of an object to be positioned or a stage and precisely move the object to be positioned to a target position.

  • Patent number: 6428143
    Abstract: To provide an ink jet image forming method and an ink jet image forming device capable of forming an image of superior quality by using quickly drying ink and slowly drying ink in combination, wherein deviation which may occur in a discharge position of ink causes no reduction in the resolution of the image, black ink is adopted as the slowly drying ink, and so is white ink as one of the quickly drying ink. A white dot is formed with the white ink in a position to form a black dot on white recording paper, thereafter applying the black ink thereto. Deviation which may occur in the discharge position of the quickly drying white ink on the recording paper thus becomes almost visually unnoticeable.
