  • Publication number: 20230126568
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing an intestinal epithelial cell, which has a large number of cells per area and a high accuracy of kinetic prediction for a CYP3A4 substrate drug such as midazolam, by inducing the differentiation of a pluripotent stem cell, as well as the intestinal epithelial cell, a cell sheet, an evaluation method for a test substance, a screening kit for a test substance, and a cell preparation.

  • Publication number: 20220267704
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a transportation instrument and a transportation method that enable transportation by using a cell culture container as it is. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a transportation instrument and a transportation method that enable supply of oxygen required for respiration of cells. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a transportation instrument and a transportation method that enable suppression of migration of a culture medium into and out of cells caused by the influence of an increase in internal pressure with respect to the temperature during transportation.

  • Publication number: 20210147808
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an intestinal epithelial cell in which the barrier function is maintained while the differentiation of a pluripotent stem cell into a liver cell is suppressed and an intestinal epithelial cell in which the barrier function is maintained while the differentiation into a liver cell is suppressed. According to the present invention, provided is the method for producing an intestinal epithelial cell, including a step 1 of differentiating a pluripotent stem cell into an intestinal stem cell and a step 2 of differentiating the intestinal stem cell obtained in the step 1 into an intestinal epithelial cell in a presence of one or more selected from the group consisting of a MEK1 inhibitor, a DNA methylation inhibitor, and a TGF? receptor inhibitor, and EGF, in which during the step 2, a cell under differentiation is replated one or more times at the predetermined timing which is defined in the present specification.

  • Publication number: 20140378662
    Abstract: A method of producing a tissue repair material, the method including: (a) obtaining a gelatin-containing intermediate that contains a gelatin and has a mesh structure, using a gelatin solution in which the gelatin is dissolved in an aqueous medium; (b) drying the gelatin-containing intermediate; and (c) cross-linking the gelatin before or after the drying of the gelatin-containing intermediate.
