 　　　　　 The stem cells ・万能細胞

Kyoto University researchers on Wednesday announced groundbreaking success in producing stem cells from human skin instead of human eggs.

京都大学の研究者は、水曜日に卵子の代わりに人間の皮膚から幹細胞を生産することにおける草分け的な成功を発表しました。

The technique is being lauded worldwide as a way to tap the disease-fighting potential of stem cells without the ethical issues surrounding the use of human eggs or embryos.

技術は、卵子または胎児の使用を囲む倫理の問題のない幹細胞の疾病戦闘能力を開発する方法として、世界的に賛美されています。

It is a step forward in regenerative medicine that could treat spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cardiac and other diseases by supplying new, healthy tissue generated from stem cells.

それは、脊髄損傷を治療することができる再生医療の中に1前進です、アルツハイマー病、パーキンソンの(幹細胞から生成された新しく健康な組織の供給による心臓・他の疾病)。

The team generated versatile iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells without using human eggs, a controversial technique that destroys the eggs.

チームは卵子を使用せずに、用途の広いiPS(引き起こされた分化多能の軸)細胞を生成しました(卵を破壊する論争の的になっている技術)。

Fertilized human eggs are needed to produce the embryonic stem (ES) cell, a master cell that grows into various tissues and organs.

肥沃になった卵子は胚の軸(ES)細胞、様々な組織が合うほどに成長する万能細胞および器官を生むために必要です。

"It may take some more time to realize regenerative medicine," said Shinya Yamanaka, who led the research, on the team's success in using adult somatic, or non-reproductive, cells instead.

Shinya山中氏(この人は研究をリードした)は、「再生医療を実現するのにさらにいくらかの時間がかかってもよい」と、チームの成人の身体の(あるいは非再生)細胞を代わりに使用することにおける成功上で言いました。

"But we hope to put this to clinical application by efficiently differentiating the cells into target cells and enhancing safety," he said.

 「しかし、私たちは、標的細胞へ効率的に細胞を区別し安全性の増強により、臨床応用にこれを置く ﾌを望みます」と彼が言いました。

Yamanaka is a professor of stem cell biology at the university's Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences. Assistant professor Kazutoshi Takahashi and others joined the research.

 山中氏は、大学のフロンティア医学のための研究所での幹細胞生物学の教授です。助教授Kazutoshi高橋氏や、その他の人たちが研究に参加しました。

The research results were reported in the online edition of the U.S. science journal Cell on Wednesday.

研究結果は、米国科学誌細胞のオンライン版の中で水曜日に報告されました。

The team's research drew wide attention in August 2006 when it generated the world's first iPS cells by introducing four genes into mouse skin.

チームの研究は、マウス皮膚へ4つの遺伝子を導入することにより、それが世界初のiPS細胞を生成した2006年8月に広い注意を引き寄せました。

The researchers now showed their techniques can be applied to humans.

研究者は、人間に技術を適用することができることを今示しました。

They embedded the same four genes into human adult facial skin and synovial tissue, the tissue which lines joints. It took longer to cultivate than for mice, and also required growth factors that are used in cultivating human or monkey ES cells.

それらは人間の成人の顔の皮膚および関節滑液を分泌する組織へ同じ4つの遺伝子を埋め込みました、組織、どのライン、関節。人間または猿の万能細胞を養うのに使用されるハツカネズミおよびさらに必要成長要因用よりも養うのにより長くかかりました。

Using somatic cells to make pluripotent cells, which are similar to embryonic stem cells, raises the possibility of creating cells that are specific to the patient or disease, the team said.

多能性細胞(それらは胚性幹細胞に似ている)を作るために体細胞を使用することは、患者か疾病に特有の細胞を作る可能性を高める、とチームが言いました。

If the patients' own cells are used, the tissue created from them will not be rejected.

患者自身の細胞が使用されれば、それらから作られた組織は拒絶されないでしょう。

The team also confirmed the iPS cells could differentiate into nerve cells, cardiac muscle, cartilage and other types of tissues.

チームは、さらに神経細胞、心筋、軟骨および他のタイプの組織にiPS細胞が分化するかもしれないことを確認しました。

Other researchers applauded the team's approach.

他の研究者はチームのアプローチを賞賛しました。

Ian Wilmut, the creator of the world's first clone, Dolly the sheep, told a British newspaper that such an approach is "easier to accept socially" than the cloning technique he had pioneered.

 イアン・ウィルマット氏(世界初のクローンの創造者で羊に移植してクローン羊（ドリー）を誕生させた）、今回のアプローチは、彼が開拓したクローニング技術より「社会的に受理するのが簡単である」と英国の新聞に伝えました。

A team at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, reported the same day in the online Science magazine that it had succeeded in creating iPS cells from the skin cells of newborn babies.

 ウィスコンシン大学マディソン校のチーム、それが新生児の皮膚細胞からiPSセルを作って、成功したオンライン科学雑誌中の同じ日に報告しました。 

The team also used four genes, two of which were the same as those Yamanaka's researchers utilized in their research.

チームはさらに4つの遺伝子を使用しました。それらのうちの2は彼らの研究で利用され、それらは山中氏の研究者と同じ方法で彼らの研究でも利用された。

Before the new approach can be applied to regenerative medicine, there are medical and ethical hurdles to clear.

再生医療に新しいアプローチを適用することができる前に、取り除くべき医学・倫理のハードル競争があります。

Generative cells, or cells that split to form a pair of reproductive cells, could be made from somatic cells. For example, eggs could be formed from male somatic cells

  The season which passes over the middle of November and feels cold came.

  Now, the price of kerosene as well as a gas price is soaring. In the case of gasoline, since a gasoline tax and a consumption tax are included, it turns out that nature and a price become high.

  Kerosene is only a consumption tax. Is the liter of 90 yen an appropriate amount of money?  To be sure, kerosene is the same as airplane fuel (jet fuel).

  Anyone knows that the oil price is soaring. Even so, I think that the increasing rate of a kerosene price is high. The kerosene price of three years ago was a liter of 50 yen.

  It goes up every year and is 90 yen this year. I think so that the rise ratio of a kerosene price is high compared with gasoline etc

  If it goes by this state, a kerosene price next year has a high possibility of becoming a liter of 100 yen

　The Japanese government will send Bangladesh relief supplies including tents, blankets and water purifiers worth 35-million yen, or about 300,000 US dollars.

　Many people were killed or remain missing as a result of Cyclone Sidr, which struck southern Bangladesh on Thursday.

　Vice Foreign Minister Shotaro Yachi told reporters on Monday that he feels sorry about the extensive damage in Bangladesh.

　He said that the government decided to send the supplies to help those who were affected.

　He added that the government will keep an eye on the situation and do its utmost to help, indicating that further relief measures will be considered.

　Heavy rains flood towns and villages around Greece, forcing the evacuation of homes and posing a threat to livestock.

　In the northern town of Komotini near the Greek-Turkish border residents evacuated their homes as waves of water covered streets and houses.

　Animals were trapped in their pens on immersed farms and local authorities said agricultural land was under water in many areas as a river in the area overflowed its banks.

Jesus doesn't appear on the Bible from 12 years old to 30 years old.

※- Jesus and Nicodemus

-9 "How can this be" asked Nicodemus.

-10 Jesus answered. "You are a great teacher in Israel, and you don't know this?

-11 I am telling you the truth: we speak of what we know and report what we have seen, yet none of you is willing to accept our message.

-12 You do not believe me when I tell you about the things of this word; how will you ever believe me, then, when I tell you about the things of heaven?

-13 And no one has ever gone up to heaven except the son of Man, who came down from heaven"

-14 As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the desert, in the same way the Son of Man must be lifted up,

-15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

-16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.

-17 For god did not sent his Son into the world to be its savior.

-18 Whoever believes in the Son is not judged; but whoever does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in God's only Son.

-19 This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil.

-20 Anyone who does evil things hates the light and will not come to the light, because he dose not want his evil deeds to be shown up.

-21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light in order that the light may show that he did was in obedience to God.
