FY2023 Training course for human iPS cells
The training course for human iPS cells will be resumed after suspension due to COVID-19 pandemic. In this course, we will offer a lecture and practical training for human iPS cells including the overview of human iPS cell culture methods with passaging, freezing and resuscitation on feeder cells (vitrification method) as well as feeder-free culture methods in 1day course.

Obligate symbiotic DPANN archaea capable of growing under aerobic conditions
The DPANN group is a superphylum-level archaeal clade. Although the genomes of nearly 1,000species of DPANN archaea have been reported so far, no cultivated strains had been available in any culture collections until recently. Currently, two strains of symbiotic DPANN archaea capable of growing under aerobic conditions are available from JCM.
- Nanobdella aerobiophila JCM 33616T
- “Microcaldus variisymbioticus” JCM 33787T
