According to one aspect and example, a method for facilitating cellular interactions in biological tissue provides controllable activation of a selected type of stem cell among a plurality of cell types present in the tissue. The method includes various steps including the introduction of a microbial opsin into a region of the tissue that includes a selected type of stem cell, by expressing the microbial opsin in the stem cell. A light source is then introduced near the stem cell, and the light source is used to controllably activate the light source to direct pulses of illumination from the light source to the selected type of stem cell, for selectively controlling the growth and development of the stem cell in a manner that is independent of the growth and development of the other types of cells.
23 CELL-ADHERING LIGHT-CONTROLLABLE SUBSTRATE EP12771369.1 2012-04-11 EP2698426A1 2014-02-19 FURUTA Toshiaki; SUZUKI Akinobu; SUGIYAMA Hisashi; OZAWA Satoshi; TADA Hiroko

An object of the present invention is to enable simpler operation in real time and culture while removing unnecessary cells from cultured cells for purification in analyzing, fractionating, and culturing the cells alive and to analyze and fractionate desired cells from the cultured cells to increase the purity, recovery rate, and viability of the cells. The present invention employs a cell-adhesive photocontrollable base material, wherein light irradiation causes the bond dissociation of a photolabile group comprising a coumarinylmethyl skeleton to produce the separation of a cell-adhesive material to leave a non-cell-adhesive material. As a result, cell images can be detected and analyzed to obtain the positional information of desired cells. Based on the positional information thus obtained, the cells can be analyzed and fractionated alive.

24 A method for increasing the CoQ10 and CoQH2 content in phototrophic microorganisms EP10196124.1 2010-12-21 EP2468878A1 2012-06-27 Dürr, Oliver

A method for increasing the content of ubiquinone (CoQ10) and ubiquinol (CoQH2) in phototrophic microorganisms that were cultivated in a culture medium in a bioreactor under light irradiation, wherein the phototrophic microorganisms are selected from the group consisting of blue algae, green algae and yellow-green algae, comprising a step of inducing oxidative stress. By virtue of the fact that oxidative stress was induced by incubating the phototrophic microorganisms together with Fe3+ in the culture medium, a higher content of CoQ10 and CoQH2 is obtained. Moreover, the microorganisms thus obtained have a higher content of trivalent iron, which is particularly relevant for the human diet. From the phototrophic microorganisms it is possible to produce an oily extract and also a dried algae product.

Nanoparticles containing a photosensitizer configured to generate a reactive oxygen species when exposed to an appropriate wavelength of light can be used to enhance immunogenicity of cancer cells, such as breast cancer cells. Such enhanced immunogenicity cancer cells, or supernatants thereof, can be used to activate dendritic cells or cause dendritic cells to produce INF-gamma. Nanoparticles having mitochondria-targeting moieties are more effective at enhancing the immunogenicity of the cancer cells, or causing the dendritic cells to produce IFN-gamma, than nanoparticle lacking mitochondria-targeting moieties or free photo sensitizer.

39 Method of differentiation induction to osteoblasts US11892061 2007-08-20 US07829335B2 2010-11-09 Akira Inoue; Hitoshi Hatayama; Hiroshi Suganuma; Kunio Awazu; Toshihiro Kushibiki
The invention offers a technique that selectively differentiation-induces mesenchymal stem cells, which can differentiate to cells that constitute various tissues and organs, to osteoblasts. In addition, the invention offers a technique that differentiation-induces mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts with a simple operation that needs only short time and that is noninvasive. The inventors have found that the switch for the differentiation induction to osteoblasts is turned on by translocating biological clock-relevant factors existing in mesenchymal stem cells from the cells' cytoplasm to the cells' nucleus. The inventors have also found that the switch can be turned on by irradiating the cells for a short time with a lightwave having a specific wavelength that is noninvasive.
