摘要:
The present application provides: a method for producing human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells comprising an exogenous chromosome having a DNA of interest using the MMCT method; and a method for expressing the exogenous gene in the human iPS cells prepared by the method for producing human iPS cells, or in undifferentiated or differentiated cells derived from the human iPS cells induced to differentiate from the human iPS cells.
摘要:
A data processing method that is suitable for obtaining quantitative information from data obtained by OCT imaging. The image processing method includes acquiring original image data corresponding to a three-dimensional image of a cultured embryo obtained by optical coherence tomography imaging of the embryo and executing a region segmentation the three-dimensional image into a plurality of regions on the basis of the original image data. In the region segmentation, a local thickness calculation is performed on the three-dimensional image to determine an index value indicating a size of an object included in the three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional image is segmented into a region indicated by the index value greater than a predetermined first threshold and a region indicated by the index value less than the first threshold, and each of the regions resulting from the segmentation is further segmented by the watershed algorithm.
摘要:
A technique capable of providing a user with information obtained by OCT imaging in a useful way, particularly for assisting in assessment of an embryo effectively. The image processing method includes acquiring original signal data indicating an intensity distribution of signal light from each position in three-dimensional space including a cultured embryo obtained by optical coherence tomography imaging, generating spherical coordinate data based on the original signal data, the spherical coordinate data indicating a relationship between each position in the three-dimensional space represented using spherical coordinates having an origin set inside the embryo and the intensity of the signal light from the position, and outputting the intensity distribution of the signal light as a two-dimensional map based on the spherical coordinate data using two deflection angles of the spherical coordinates as coordinate axes.

摘要:
This internal pressure loading system includes an internal pressure loading device and an information processing device. The internal pressure loading device is set at an inner face of a pipe, and includes a load meter which detects the load applied to the inner face of the pipe and a displacement meter which detects the deformation amount of the pipe. When the internal pressure loading device is expanded so as to increase the load to be detected by the load meter, the width of the pipe at which the displacement meter is located is reduced. On the basis of the load detected by the load meter and the deformation amount detected by the displacement meter, the information processing device evaluates the remaining strength of the pipe.
