  • Publication number: 20220338452
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to produce a mammalian organ having a complicated cellular composition composed of multiple kinds of cells, such as kidney, pancreas, thymus and hair, in the living body of a non-human animal. The inventors of the present invention applied the chimeric animal assay described above, to a novel solid organ production method. More specifically, the inventors has shown that a model mouse which is deficient of kidney, pancreas, thymus or hair due to the dysfunction of the metanephric mesenchyme that is differentiated into most of an adult kidney, is rescued by blastocyst complementation by the chimeric animal assay, and whereby a kidney, a pancreas, thymus or hair can be newly produced.

  • Patent number: 11379224
    Abstract: A source code analysis unit identifies dependency strengths of one or more functions included in a source code. An influence analysis unit identifies one or more transfer functions that will each move to a different subsystem due to refactoring and identifies a dependency strength to be influenced by the refactoring, based on the dependency strengths that have been identified by the source code analysis unit with respect to the one or more transfer functions. A scale calculation unit calculates the scale of the refactoring, based on the dependency strength to be influenced, which has been identified by the influence analysis unit.

  • Publication number: 20220192164
    Abstract: It is revealed that an organ such as pancreas can be regenerated by utilizing a fact that the deficiency of an organ is complemented by injecting an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell) into a developed blastocyst in a blastocyst complementation method. Thus, the present invention has solved the above-described object. This provides a method for producing a target organ, using an iPS cell, in a living body of a non-human mammal having an abnormality associated with a lack of development of the target organ in a development stage, the target organ produced being derived from a different individual mammal that is an individual different from the non-human mammal.
