| 20100248354 | MEMBRANE VESICLE FISSION SYSTEM - A membrane vesicle fission system is disclosed. The membrane vesicle fission system includes: a membrane vesicle having a lipid bi-layer membrane including a cationic lipid; and a unit which applies, to the membrane vesicle, an anionic material having a hydrophobic group. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20090081775 | Microscope system and screening method for drugs, physical therapies and biohazards - Method and device for automated cell analysis and determination of transport and communication between living cells by analyzing the formation of tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) between cells. This method comprising the steps of singularizing cells in a culture medium and staining the cells with a fluorescent or luminescent dyes for staining of cytoplasm and membranes as well as TNTs, flagella and other cell particles for 3-D cell microscopy. The method comprises further an image analysis system. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20110086421 | USE OF BIOLOGICAL PHOTORECEPTORS AS DIRECTLY LIGHT-ACTIVATED ION CHANNELS - Use of a biological photoreceptor as light-controlled ion channel for the alteration of the ion conductivity of a membrane by means of light. The photoreceptor used comprises an apoprotein and a light-sensitive polyene covalently bound to the apoprotein, said polyene interacting with the apoprotein and functioning as a light-sensitive gate. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110136220 | Method for Isolating Nuclei - This invention relates to methods of isolating cell nuclei from the other cell components in cell samples, e.g., cell samples from cell cultures or tissue samples. The method does not comprise ultracentrifugation or super-centrifugation rather the method comprises centrifuging cell samples in a table-top conventional centrifuge or microfuge. The method also comprises the use of buffers that are substantially devoid of protease inhibitor or enzyme treatments. The methods facilitate separation of nuclei from nuclear outer membranes leaving the cellular structures and inner membranes of nuclei intact. The method also provides for rapid and consistent results. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20100304476 | Expression of Human Serum Albumin in Plastids - Human Serum Albumin (HSA) or an HSA fusion protein is expressed in plant plastids. A plastid transformation vector is made which contains an expression cassette that contains regulatory sequences, the coding region for HSA or an HSA fusion protein and a selectable marker coding sequence. The vector is used to transform a plant where the plant expresses the HSA or HSA fusion protein. HSA is isolated and purified from the plant. A preferred plant is tobacco. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20080220517 | SITE-SPECIFIC CELL PERFORATION TECHNIQUE - A technique for controlling membrane denaturation reactions other than physical shear force was developed. For example, the present invention provides, a method for causing membrane disruption at a specific site by reacting a stimulus such as light with a compound that is activated by the stimulus, where the reaction occurs on a membrane such as a biomembrane. It also provides a membrane structure such as cells in which a specific site has been disrupted, which are obtained by the present method. Introduction of substances such as genes also became possible by using this membrane structure. Further provided is a membrane-destroying member for disrupting a membrane at a specific site. Thus, the present invention enabled, for example, easy membrane penetration using components constituting microelectrodes, micromanipulators, and microinjectors, which were conventionally hardly usable in penetrating cell membranes. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20120315695 | Recovery of sugars from ionic liquid biomass liquor by solvent extraction - The present invention provides for a composition comprising a solution comprising (a) an ionic liquid (IL) or ionic liquid-aqueous (ILA) phase and (b) an organic phase, wherein the solution comprises a sugar and a boronic acid. The present invention also provides for a method of removing a sugar from a solution, comprising: (a) providing a solution comprising (i) an IL or ILA phase and (ii) an organic phase, wherein the solution comprises an IL, a sugar and a boronic acid; (b) contacting the sugar with the boronic acid to form a sugar-boronic acid complex, (c) separating the organic phase and the aqueous phase, wherein the organic phase contains the sugar-boronic acid complex, and optionally (d) separating the sugar from the organic phase. | 12-13-2012 |
