Abstract

The disclosed electron source includes: (A) a graphene layer superficially having an electron-emitting area; and (B) a p-type semiconductor layer that is in direct contact with the graphene layer and that forms a Schottky junction with the graphene layer. In the thus-configured electron source, electrons are accelerated in the depletion layer in the p-type semiconductor layer. Furthermore, unlike with an MIS-type electron source, electrons are not accelerated in the insulating layer; therefore, dielectric breakdown due to a large number of electrons travelling through the valence bands of an insulation object does not occur, allowing a long-life electron source to be realized. It is preferable that the above-described p-type semiconductor layer have a depletion layer having a width of 2.91-30 nm.

A method for manufacturing a diamond substrate, the method being a method for producing a (111) oriented diamond crystal on an underlying substrate by epitaxial growth using hydrogen-diluted methane as a main source gas by a microwave plasma CVD method, a direct current plasma CVD method, a hot-filament CVD method, or an arc discharge plasma jet CVD method, in which a growth rate is less than 3.8 μm/h. Thereby, a diamond crystal applicable to an electronic and magnetic device and a method to produce this crystal are stably provided in which the crystal with the NV axis with orientation and high-density NVC obtained by the CVD method under a predetermined condition is grown on a highly oriented (111) diamond base substrate obtained by the CVD method also under a predetermined condition.

Abstract

Provided is a biomarker capable of specifically detecting renal cell cancer. Based on our finding that sialylation (sialic acid modification) is accentuated in the case of acquired cystic kidney disease associated renal cell carcinoma (ACD-RCC) compared to clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cc-RCC) from techniques in which cancer-specific regions are collected under a microscope from histopathology samples and diverse omics analyses such as lectin arrays and RNAseq, we have identified, by glycoproteomics that includes mass spectrometry, a glycoprotein group having a sugar chain structure containing a specific glycosylation, in particular, a sialylation, among protein groups from cancer tissue of renal cell cancer, and this glycoprotein group is provided as a new biomarker specific for renal cell cancer.

Abstract

Provided is a three-dimensional culture (10) of immortalized skin cells (2), comprising a plate-like substrate (1) and a culture layered product of immortalized skin cells adhering to the surface of the plate-like substrate, in which the superficial layer (3) of the culture layered product is composed of a stratum corneum. The three-dimensional culture can be produced as follows: immortalized skin cells are seeded on a top surface of a culture medium-impregnated plate-like substrate, and three-dimensional culture is performed while applying stress on a superficial layer of an immortalized skin cell layer formed by layering of the immortalized skin cells. The three-dimensional culture can be used to evaluate the sensitization of a test substance.
