  • Peptides for Inducing Differentiation
    Publication number: 20230139883
    Abstract: The present invention chiefly aims to provide a new differentiation inducing agent (peptide) that can solve the previous problems in inducing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells such as ES/iPS cells into somatic cells (e.g., cardiomyocytes). The present invention can include, for example, a synthetic peptide having, in the molecular structure thereof, an amino acid sequence represented by the following (SEQ ID NO: 1), or an amino acid sequence formed by substitution, deletion and/or addition of one or several amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence. It can also include, for example, a composition for inducing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into somatic cells, comprising said synthetic peptide. (SEQ?ID?No.

  • Microchannel device and method pertaining thereto
    Patent number: 10071378
    Abstract: A microchannel device includes: an upstream channel portion configured to allow an upstream liquid plug and a gas to flow therethrough; a downstream channel portion configured to allow a downstream liquid plug and a gas to flow therethrough; a liquid holding portion provided between a downstream end portion of the upstream channel portion and an upstream end portion of the downstream channel portion, the liquid holding portion being configured to hold a main liquid plug therein; and a gas bypass channel portion provided so as to bypass the liquid holding portion from the downstream end portion of the upstream channel portion to the upstream end portion of the downstream channel portion, the gas bypass channel portion being configured to allow the gas to flow therethrough in a state in which the liquid holding portion holds the main liquid plug.
