Slide-Ring Materials for Circular Economy

The University of Tokyo/Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, Professor

The circular economy of plastics has recently become a global issue of discussion. The Slide-Ring Materials with freely movable cross-links are considered one of the key technologies for realizing the circular economy of plastics, as they are remarkably effective in toughening plastics, rubbers, and gels.

Polyrotaxane blend toughened by movable crosslinked structure

Toray Industries, Inc./Chemicals Research Laboratories / Chief Research Associate

  • Sadayuki Kobayashi

We recently developed a new polyamide polymer blend combining with polyrotaxane which is a typical supramolecular polymer. Generally, in crystalline polymer like polyamide the applied force usually concentrates on the weakest part of the polymer chain leading to failure. The movable crosslinked structure in polyrotaxane provides a pulley movement which prevent the stress concentration. The polymer blend which includes the movable crosslinked structures shows remarkable improvements of ductility and energy absorbance in higher speed impact fracture testing. To demonstrate the enhanced mechanical property, the high-speed impact testing was performed using mold pieces. The blend mold piece showed high stiffness before impact, but it absorbed huge impact energy and were deformed like rubber.

Techniques for single-cell manipulation for transcriptomics of rare cells

Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology
Institute of Engineering/Professor

The human body is composed of approximately 60 trillion cells that have been repeatedly divided and differentiated from a single fertilized egg. Among these cells, cancerous and aged cells often emerge and cause diseases. Heterogeneity occurs even in such cell assemblies that have essentially identical genomes, and analysis at the single-cell level is essential to understand this heterogeneity. In this seminar, we will outline the technology to isolate such rare cells from living organisms and perform transcriptome analysis of single cells. In addition, the application of this technology to cancer diagnosis and basic cancer research will be introduced.

Prospects for a Next Generation of Nucleic Acid Medicines with RNase H Mediated Efficient Catalytic Targeted RNA Cleavage Function Installed in Artificial Nucleic Acid Medicines

Tohoku University/Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials (IMRAM)/Professor

In general, the uptake concentration of nucleic acid medicines into cells has been reported to be very low, and the unsatisfactory pharmaceutical effects of nucleic acid medicines mainly originated by the low concentration have been pointed out as one of the most critical issues to be improved. The RNase H mediated catalytic RNA selective digestion strategy has attracted attention, but the improvement in efficacy has been limited due to low catalytic turnover. We have succeeded in dramatically increasing the turnover number of catalytic target RNA digestion by site-specific digestion of target RNA using our proposed chimeric artificial nucleic acid medicines as next-generation nucleic acid medicines and successfully demonstrated effective nucleic acid medicines effects even at low concentrations. This strategy is expected to be applied to next-generation nucleic acid medicines targeting intracellular molecular RNA, proteins, and DNA, which are not druggable, in the future.

LADS OPC UA – The “Common Language” for Laboratory- & Analytical Devices

SPECTARIS, LADS OPC UA Joint Working Group/Technical Lead

Currently, integrating laboratory and analytical instruments into information networks is a challenge. These instruments often use vendor specific communication protocols, which hinders the digitalization of the laboratory and analytical domain.
Fortunately, a solution is on the horizon. The LADS OPC UA companion specification is set to be published in autumn 2023. It aims to simplify the integration of laboratory and analytical devices into the laboratory workflow. It addresses important use-cases such as remote monitoring and control, workflow orchestration, results management, and service and asset management. By enabling digitalization and automation, LADS will overcome the existing barriers.
One of the main challenges in designing a communication specification for laboratory and analytical devices is the variety of instrument types. To tackle this challenge, LADS adopts various design principles, such as device type agnostic modeling.
LADS builds on OPC UA, the secure and widely accepted industrial operability standard. It will be published as an official OPC UA Companion Specification, ensuring compatibility and interoperability.
During the presentation, there will be examples showcasing the integration of laboratory and analytical instruments with collaborative or mobile robots, using the diverse OPC UA ecosystem. This demonstrates how the power of LADS OPC UA can be unleashed for laboratory automation and efficiency improvements.

Toxicity identification and evaluation of AhR and ER agonists in urban ambient particulate matter from Hanoi, Vietnam

Vietnam National University

AhR ligand activities (CALUX-BaPEQs) in crude extract of ambient particulate matter were found significant higher for PM2.5 (269 to 612, mean 488 ng/m3) than for PM2.5-10 (6 to 42, mean 28 ng/m3), and for PM>10 (6 to 8, mean 7 ng/m3). Total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were found at higher level in PM2.5 (172 to 580, mean 354 ng/m3) than in PM2.5-10 (9 to 23, mean 14 ng/m3 dw) and PM>10 (1.6 to 8, mean 5 ng/m3). The methylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MePAHs), more persistent and toxic than their parent, were also found in ambient particulate matter at higher level in PM2.5 (26 to 70, mean 44 ng/m3) and lower level in PM2.5-10 (1 to 4, mean 2 ng/m3) and PM>10 (0.5 to 2, mean 1 ng/m3). Theo-BaPEQs in ambient particulate matter counted for PM2.5 at 45%, PM2.5-10 at 38% and PM>10 at 36%. The results indicated that BbkF are major agonist contributor to Theo-BaPEQs in fine particles. In addition, the proposition of CALUX-BaPEQs, total PAHs, total MePAHs and theo-BaPEQs/MEQs/CEQs indicating that fine particles can potentially pose the highest level of chemical components as well as toxic activities compared to coarse particles. The strong correlation between AhR ligand activities and mutagenic as well as carcinogenic potencies (Pearson’s ρ = 0.97 and 0.99, p < 0.001), indicated that the higher AhR ligand activities in ambient particulate matter suggested the higher mutagenic and carcinogenic potencies. Estimated results of incremental life time cancer risk (ILCR) showed greater than the acceptable level of 10-6 via ingestion, dermal contract pathways. Indicating that local residents face to high potential risks of cancer when they frequently exposure to ambient particulate matter in this region.

Then, the focus will move on what happens once microplastics are internalized in the organisms, both animal and human; at this purpose, some of the evidence available in literature about microplastics contamination of human tissues and body districts will be reported. Finally, the harmful effects determined by microplastics will be described by using some studies performed on animals or human cells.
