Abstract:
A bone substitute (a material for repairing biological tissues) made from β-TCP as the raw material comprises a plate-type base member on the surface of which a plurality of grooves extending in a single direction are formed and separated from each other by partition wall members having an almost uniform thickness. This material sustains a sufficient binding force after application to a biological tissue and exhibits an excellent effect of forming a biological tissue. This bone substitute (material for repairing biological tissues) having a main body provided with a plurality of grooves extending in a single direction which are separated from each other by partition wall members having an almost uniform thickness, and a biodegradable viscous member which is filled into at least one of the penetrating holes of the main body, and contains an agonistic factor capable of increasing the cell activity, can provide agonistic factors of sufficient types and amounts to a biological tissue, and can control the sustained-release dose thereof.

Abstract:
An object is to promote the growth of adhered cells and improve adhesiveness of stem cells. A cylindrical scaffold made of a porous calcium phosphate (for example, beta-TCP) material has a form in which a plurality of through-holes extending in a single direction are separated from each other by partition wall members having an almost uniform thickness. The material for repairing biological tissues wherein each through-hole has a quadrangular shape, and each partition wall member has a plurality of concavities and a plurality of pores in the surface, and a process for producing the same are provided.
Abstract:
Contamination by dust particles, bacteria and so forth in each processing step can be reduced by a simple constitution. A culture vessel is used in which a medium vessel in which a medium is sealed and a waste medium vessel capable of housing the fluid in a main culture vessel are connected to the main culture vessel by connecting lines capable of restricting the flow of fluid between them in a state in which they are sealed from the outside. A culture apparatus is composed in which the inner volume of each vessel is variable, and is provided with a case provided with indentations for housing each vessel, and a pressing means that contracts the vessels housed in the indentations by applying external pressure.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of detecting a polymorphism site. According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising (1) reacting a test sample containing a polymorphism site with at least one type of probe which is capable of binding to the polymorphism site of the test sample with a high affinity and labeled with a marker substance, and (2) optically measuring and analyzing a positional change of the marker substance at a plurality of time points in the course of the reaction, thereby detecting the polymorphism site.
