  • Patent number: 11655273
    Abstract: Provided are a ligand-bearing substrate which has a surface at least partially coated with a polymer (P3) containing structural units represented by the formulae (1a) and (1b) (in the formulae, R1, R2, X, Y, L, Q1, Q2, Q3, m1, m2 and n are as described in the claims and description); a raw material for such a substrate; and a method for producing such substrates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023
    Assignees: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION UNIVERSITY OF TOYAMA, NISSAN CHEMICAL CORPORATION
    Inventors: Hiromi Kitano, Tadashi Nakaji, Yuki Usui, Taito Nishino, Takahiro Kishioka
  • Patent number: 11608447
    Abstract: Disclosed are a cell culture substrate that can be modified from its cell-inadhesibleness to make it cell-adhesible, by a convenient and low-cost treatment, and particularly, a substrate that allows position-specific culture of one or more kinds of cells. The substrate has on its surface a layer made of a photomodifiable polymer that comprises a monomer, as component (A), represented by Formula (1): wherein R1 denotes hydrogen or a methyl group, and R2 denotes an alkyl group having 1-22 carbon atoms, respectively, and n denotes an integer of 1-30, and a component (B) having a trialkoxysilyl group, which forms a layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9822330
    Abstract: There is provided a new material that can form a finer pattern and can be applied to adsorption/adhesion control of various cell species, proteins, viruses, and the like without the limitation of the light source. A light-degradable material comprising: a moiety that is capable of bonding to a surface of a substrate through a siloxane bond; and a structural unit of Formula (2-a) and/or Formula (2-b): (where R2 to R4 are saturated linear alkyl groups; X is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; Z is a carbanion or a sulfo anion; Q is an ester bond group, a phosphodiester bond group, an amido bond group, an alkylene group, or an phenylene group or a combination of these divalent groups; m1 is an integer of 1 to 200, and n is an integer of 1 to 10).

  • Patent number: 9446098
    Abstract: A composition for controlled release of a physiologically active substance can release a physiologically active substance in vivo at the desired timing. The composition includes an inner layer that is formed of a biodegradable substance that supports a physiologically active substance, and an outer layer that is formed of a biodegradable substance that differs from that of the inner layer.
