The apple fruit borer Spilonota samseong (Tortricidae), a pest of apples, has two closely related species (S. albicana and S. prognathana) that do not feed on apples. They closely resemble each other [...]

液性免疫応答は生体防御のメカニズムとして重要である。液性免疫の主役を担うのはB細胞であり、B細胞の小胞体恒常性維持がB細胞分化と抗体産生に密接に関与する。小胞体はタンパク質の品質管理と細胞質内Ca2+濃度の調節が主な機能として知られており、これら2つの機能を制御することが小胞体恒常性に重要である。そこで、この2つの機能調節に重要な分子に着目し、B細胞における機能解析を行う。これにより、液性免疫にお [...]

Aspergillus oryzae is a useful filamentous fungus used in the fermentation and brewing industry. Since it secretes and produces a large amount of various useful substances such as useful enzymes like [...]

Ultraviolet (UV) organic solid-state lasers are highly anticipated as next-generation light sources for advanced microfabrication and biosensing. For practical application, achieving an indirectly pum [...]

Atomic nuclei, which are many-body systems composed of protons and neutrons, possess a shell structure similar to that of electrons in atoms. In fact, nuclei with specific numbers of protons or neutro [...]

Proposal for Water Storage Management to Maximize the Flood Control, Water Utilization, and Power Generation Benefits of Pumped Storage Hydropower in Irrigation Pond

Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

Irrigation ponds, which number approximately 150,000 nationwide, are facing maintenance challenges due to the aging of farmers who manage them, as well as the need for flood control measures due to th [...]

Aiming to develop for new genome editing tools, functional and structural studies of a novel Cas9 identified from hot spring

Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

CRISPR-Cas9 is prokaryotic adaptive immune system against invading foreign DNAs and is applied to genome editing tools. Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease and binds a guide RNA composed of CRISPR-RNA [...]

This research aims to explore broad applications of planar-fabricated robotic mechanisms based on origami structures and establish a parametric design framework. By creating low-dimensional models of [...]
