  • Publication number: 20110262959
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of evaluating the possibility of a stem cell being able to differentiate into a cell that constitutes a desired tissue in a living organism, comprising the following steps of: (1) transplanting a stem cell to be evaluated into a primordium of a desired tissue of a non-human mammal, (2) culturing the tissue primordium in vitro, and (3) determining the possibility that the stem cell differentiates into a cell that constitutes the tissue in a living organism, with the degree of the dispersion of cells derived from the transplanted stem cell in the cultured tissue primordium as an index.

  • Publication number: 20100095388
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is to provide a means to producing an erythropoietin-producing organoid using mesenchymal stem cell derived from a mammal. It is a method for producing erythropoietin-producing organoid (organ-like structure) precursor, comprising the step of transplanting mesenchymal stem cell derived from a mammal into an embryo within a pregnant mammalian host or an embryo separated from a pregnant mammalian host to thereby induce the differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cell, in particular, a site to which the mesenchymal stem cell is to be transplanted is a nephrogenic site of the embryo, and a timing of transplantation corresponds to the stage in which a immune system of the host is still immunologically tolerant.

  • Publication number: 20090304639
    Abstract: The present invention provides a means for achieving generation of a complex organ such as kidney and the like through the use of hMSCs to generate the human organ. The method for preparing a desired organ for transplantation to human by transplanting an isolated human mesenchymal stem cell to the embryo of a pregnant mammal host to induce differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cell is a method wherein the mesenchymal stem cell is transplanted into the embryo at a corresponding site for differentiation into the desired organ in the host at a transplantation time when the host is still at an immunologically tolerant stage.

  • Publication number: 20090186004
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an organ, particularly a kidney, for transplantation into mammals. In detail, the present invention provides a method for preparing autotransplantation of autologous organs, particularly a kidney, wherein the isolated autologous mesenchymal stem cells are transplanted into an embryo inside a pregnant mammalian host or into an embryo dissected from a pregnant mammalian host at a desired site to induce differentiation, which is then transplanted into the individual.

  • Publication number: 20080295593
    Abstract: A fuel supply system for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to an engine includes a fuel pump, a pressure regulator and a level sensor. The fuel pump pumps the fuel stored within the fuel tank. The pressure regulator regulates the pressure of the fuel before being supplied from the fuel pump to the engine and serves to return a surplus fuel into the fuel tank. The sensor detects the level of the fuel within the fuel tank and a surplus fuel is capable of being discharged to the sensor.
