The team of Isao Oishi at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Osaka has developed an “egg factory” which produces up to 500 mg of recombinant proteins such as human interferon beta, cytokines, and a human HER2 antibody per chicken egg. The method is based on knocking in the target gene […]

Stretchable and self-healing polymer gels formed by a facile one-step synthesis
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add0226 Researchers at the National Institute for Material Sciences have formed highly stretchable and self-healing polymer gels solely by physical entanglements of ultrahigh–molecular weight (UHMW) polymers fabricated through a facile one-step process. Radical polymerization of vinyl monomers in ionic liquids under very low initiator concentration conditions produced UHMW polymers of more than 106 g/mol with […]
Osaka University will establish “digital twin” for human organ interactions
https://bio.nikkeibp.co.jp/atcl/news/p1/22/10/14/10030/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unvKIcKTBuY Osaka University’s “Human Metabolic Disease Research Center” will establish a “digital twin” for organoids created mainly from iPS cells, and their diseases. The response of organoids to disease states will be comprehensively investigated using multi-omics analysis, single-cell analysis, quantum sensing, The bio-digital twins created will be shared by constructing a new metaverse space. The […]

Advances in diabetes-1 treatment by cell technology
https://bio.nikkeibp.co.jp/atcl/report/16/082400016/100500253/ The group around Tetsuya Ikemoto, a GI surgeon at the University Hospital of Fukushima, prepares for an investigator-initiated clinical trial on insulin-producing cells (IPC) derived from autologous fat cells of human patients. He has finished safety evaluation and proof-of-concept experiments using diabetic mice and pigs. The insulin-producing cells under study are adipose-derived stem cells taken […]
