The new process aims at removing nitrogen from nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds such as pyridine and quinoline and is important in refining petroleum, shale oil or biomass as it improves the efficiency of hydrocracking. An international research team at RIKEN which included Chinese researchers from Dalian University of Science and Technology, China, mixed the highly active […]
The group of Takashi Yokoo at Tokyo Jikei University’s school of medicine has succeeded to mature foreign iPS-derived nephron progenitor cells. To this end, they injected renal progenitor cells induced from iPS into the nephrogenic zone of the mouse metanephros, where injected cells are continuously developed at later stages of kidney development. When rat-derived progenitor […]
Multi-lineage differentiating Stress Enduring cells (Muse) provide an alternative to stem cell technology and do not require recombinant processing for cell differentiation. They were developed by Tohoku University and its spin-off CLIO which was acquired by Mitsubishi Chemical Holding in 2015. According to a recent business meeting, clinical trials for myocardial infarction will begin in […]
In cooperation with Tohoku University, Konica Minolta is pioneering devices for simple measurement of brain and heart functions based on TMR. A novel type of magnetic sensor which operates at room temperature records alpha waves of brain with high sensitivity and high resolution. Also, the cardiac magnetic field can be measured in real-time and applied […]
