The chondrocytes were prepared from human iPS cells by a culture method for producing cartilage tissue without from human iPS cell-derived chondrocytes scaffolds. When transplanted into immunodeficient mice and rats, the cartilage prepared from human iPS cells led to...
The raw material used were corn cobs, providing glucose which was chemically dehydrated to furfural. In a 5 step chemical procedure, furfural was converted to terephtalic acid, and mass spectrometry showed that the carbon was 100 % derived from biomass. China Bio news...
The Polish Ministry of Economy and NEDO signed a LOI to study the use of Japan’s unique system of a “smart grid” which includes storage and stabilization technology without adding new transmission lines, for the integration of renewable energies into the Polish grid....
The groups of Takayasu SAKURAI and Takao SOMEYA have presented a wire-free, armband-type soft thermometer which draws energy from room light by flexible solar cells. Temperature sensing is done by a polymer-based sensor, and a piezoelectric buzzer is integrated. It...
The laboratory of Isao YONEKURA has reported on a new technology which, if applied to thin crystals of, e. g., membrane proteins, allows visualization of the charge state of amino acids and ions. When applied to very thin three-dimensional crystals of rabbit...
