  • Spectrum Data Acquisition Method, Cell Sorting Method, And Raman Spectroscopy System
    Publication number: 20240201067
    Abstract: Provided is a spectral data acquisition method which can perform laser irradiation more uniformly while further reducing cell damage. The spectral data acquisition method involves receiving, by means of a spectroscope, Raman scattered light output from a cell by spirally irradiating an area in which the cell is present with laser light from the laser light source, and detecting a Raman spectrum in response to the received Raman scattered light by means of a charge-coupled device (CCD) detector.

  • Method for producing parasympathetic neurons
    Patent number: 11359178
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing parasympathetic neurons from neural crest cells or autonomic neural progenitor cells derived therefrom, comprising a step of culturing the neural crest cells or autonomic neural progenitor cells derived therefrom in the presence of a cAMP production promoter, a BDNF signaling pathway activator, a GDNF signaling pathway activator, an NGF signaling pathway activator, an NT-3 signaling pathway activator, vitamin C, a protein kinase C activator, and a retinoic acid receptor agonist.
