20140147831 | METHODS FOR FORMING NORMAL REGENERATED TISSUES, THE NORMAL REGENERATED TISSUES AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING SENSITIVITIES AND SO ON - A normal regenerated tissue is formed by exposing to radiation a connective tissue or a supporting tissue originating in an organ to thereby form a feeder layer and then transplanting epithelial cells thereon to form a stratified structure. By conveniently and surely providing regenerated tissue by the 3-dimensional culture with the use of a human-origin normal tissue as a base, it is possible to construct systems for assessing effects and side effects of chemicals such as drugs or assessing sensitivities thereof with the use of regenerated tissues as models of corresponding tissues respectively. | 05-29-2014 |
20110301230 | GENE CARRIER - Disclosed is a gene carrier composed of a hydrogen-bonding polymer having a polymer chain with hydrogen-bonding sites formed on the polymer chain, in which the polymer chain has a conformation similar to the conformation of a nucleic acid, and particularly, the polymer chain has helix parameters similar to the helix parameters of a nucleic acid of a helix structure. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogen-bonding polymer is composed of β-1,3-glucan such as schizophyllan. The carrier can be expected to be applied as a vector and a separator for nucleic acids because it is capable of interacting with a nucleic acid to form a complex with the nucleic acid and thus carrying the nucleic acid. | 12-08-2011 |
20110043740 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - A high resolution, wide viewing angle, low power consumption liquid crystal display device which utilizes nematic liquid crystal and which can attain both the memory effect and wide-viewing-angle display characteristic. A liquid crystal display device that utilizes nematic liquid crystal and includes a pair of transparent substrates; a group of electrodes for applying to a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pair of substrates an electric field having a component substantially parallel to the surfaces of the substrates; and an alignment layer disposed between the liquid crystal layer and at least one of the pair of substrates and having been subjected to liquid crystal anchoring treatments in plural directions. The plurality of liquid crystal anchoring directions of the alignment layer form substantially equal angles relative to one another, and a rising angle in each of the liquid crystal anchoring directions with respect to the corresponding substrate surface is substantially zero. | 02-24-2011 |
20100327471 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING EMULSION AND MICROCAPSULES - A process and apparatus for rapidly producing an emulsion and microcapsules in a simple manner is provided wherein a dispersion phase is ejected from a dispersion phase-feeding port toward a continuous phase flowing in a microchannel in such a manner that flows of the dispersion phase and the continuous phase cross each other, thereby obtaining microdroplets, formed by the shear force of the continuous phase, having a size smaller than the width of the channel for feeding the dispersion phase. | 12-30-2010 |
20090078342 | Cu-base amorphous alloy - The present invention provides Cu-base amorphous alloys comprising an amorphous phase of 90% or more by volume fraction. The amorphous phase has a composition represented by the formula: Cu | 03-26-2009 |
20080233627 | Nicotianamine synthase and gene encoding the same - A nicotianamine synthase is isolated and purified. Then the gene of this enzyme is cloned and the base sequence and amino acid sequence thereof are determined. This gene is employed in constructing plants, in particular, grass plants highly tolerant to iron-deficiency. A nicotianamine synthase involved in the mugineic acid biosynthesis pathway; the amino acid sequence thereof; a gene encoding the same; a vector containing this gene; cells transformed by the vector; a process for producing nicotianamine by using the same; plants transformed by the gene encoding the nicotianamine synthase; and an antibody against the nicotianamine syntase. | 09-25-2008 |
