===================================
･ Regarding the Provision of RCB Unprepared Cell Lines
===================================
At present, we are receiving a high number of requests for RCB
unprepared cell lines, and the preparation process involves multiple
steps, including quality testing. As a result, it may take approximately
8-12 months before the cells can be provided. We would appreciate your
understanding of this timeline when submitting your request.

===================================
･ User publications
===================================
Research findings using human iPS cells (HPS0381: 1231A3) deposited in
our cell bank have been published.

Wnt activation and dual SMAD inhibition for induction and maintenance of
hindbrain-like neural stem cell from hiPSCs.

1231A3 (HPS0381) is an iPS cell line established from peripheral blood
of a healthy individual (African American, female, 29-years-old).
1231A3 is widely used as one of the iPS cell lines that can be cultured
without feeder cells.

===================================
･ Editor's note
===================================
From April to the present, many new members in research laboratories
have begun their first cell cultures, and we have seen an increase in
requests for commonly used cell lines at the Cell Bank. These signs of
new research beginnings make the change of seasons feel
especially vivid.
As we head into the hotter months, I hope you will stay well.
We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support. K.N.
