Imaging‐based evaluation of lipids in the stratum corneum by label‐free stimulated Raman scattering microscopy Open
Dear Editor, The stratum corneum (SC) plays an important role as a barrier against the external environment. Currently, skin barrier function is usually evaluated by measuring trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), but TEWL measurement does no…

Engineered Mutants of a Marine Photosynthetic Purple Nonsulfur Bacterium with Increased Volumetric Productivity of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Bioplastics Open
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are green and sustainable bioplastics that could replace petrochemical synthetic plastics without posing environmental threats to living organisms. In addition, sustainable PHA production could be achieved usin…

Probing the Biogenesis of Polysaccharide Granules in Algal Cells at Sub-Organellar Resolution via Raman Microscopy with Stable Isotope Labeling Open
Phototrophs assimilate CO2 into organic compounds that accumulate in storage organelles. Elucidation of the carbon dynamics of storage organelles could enhance the production efficiency of valuable compounds and facilitate the s…

Tactile Touch Display Using Segmented-Electrode Array with Tactile Strength Stabilization Open
We developed an 8.4-inch electrostatic-tactile touch display using a segmented-electrode array (30×20) as both tactile pixels and touch sensors. Each pixel can be excited independently so that the electrostatic-tactile touch display allows…

Cellular internalization mechanism of novel Raman probes designed for plant cells Open
Diphenyl acetylene derivatives containing various polymeric components have been designed as new Raman imaging probes. These are taken up by plant cells via different pathways, and the internalization of exogenous molecules can be visualiz…

Label-free stimulated Raman scattering microscopy visualizes changes in intracellular morphology during human epidermal keratinocyte differentiation Open
Epidermal keratinocyte (KC) differentiation, which involves the process from proliferation to cell death for shedding the outermost layer of skin, is crucial for the barrier function of skin. Therefore, in dermatology, it is important to e…
