Quantitative hemodynamic analysis of cerebral blood flow and neurovascular coupling using optical coherence tomography angiography
Functional hyperemia in the rat cortex was investigated using high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography. OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed to image the hemodynamic stimulus-response over a wide field of view. Temporal changes in vessel diameters in different vessel compartments were measured in order to monitor localized hemodynamic changes. This research demonstrates the potential of OCTA for the investigation of neurovascular coupling in small animal models....read more

Energy-Saving CO2 Hydrogenation Using Light
Light-assisted CO2 hydrogenation produced methane on a Ru/SiO2 catalyst. By using both light and heat as an energy source, the total energy required for CO2 conversion could be reduced to 37%. The chemical reaction can be easily initiated or terminated by simply turning on or off the light....read more

Drug discovery for ciliopathy, a rare genetic disorder
Ciliopathies are clinically overlapping genetic disorders involving structural and functional abnormalities of the cilia. CEP290, a gene mutated in several ciliopathies, encodes a protein that forms a complex with NPHP5 to support the function of the ciliary transition zone. In this study, the CRISPR/Cas9 system was used to generate a cell line model for CEP290-related ciliopathy, and cell-based chemical library screening identified eupatilin as a lead compound for developing ciliopathy medication. Eupatilin relieved ciliogenesis defects resulting from inactivation of the CEP290 gene. In rd16 mice harboring a blinding Cep290 in-frame deletion, eupatilin treatment improved both opsin transport to the photoreceptor outer segment and electrophysiological responses of the retina to light stimulation. The rescue effect was due to eupatilin-mediated inhibition of calmodulin binding to NPHP5, which promoted NPHP5 recruitment to the ciliary base. These results demonstrate that eupatilin rescues ciliary transition zone defects to ameliorate ciliopathy-related phenotypes....read more

Development of portable point of care testing (POCT) system for fluorescence analysis
Many techniques are being developed to facilitate the diagnosis of an individual's illness using a portable point of care testing machine. A system has been developed to operate a single photon-capable SiPM (Silicon Photomultiplier) by amplifying low-intensity light by 1 million times through internal amplification. Using this technology it will be possible to easily diagnose diseases and illnesses such as diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, and infection from urine samples at an early stage....read more
