DNA Methylation
DNA Methylation One of the main factors constituting the epigenome. When certain sites on DNA (containing genes) become methylated, the activity of these genes can change. 戻る

Epigenome Editing A technique to regulate or modify gene function without altering the DNA sequence itself. This involves adjusting mechanisms such as gene on/off switches and DNA methylation in targeted regions.
ES Cells Pluripotent stem cells produced by extracting the inner cell mass from a blastocyst (which can potentially develop into a fetus and eventually into a human) and culturing it in vitro. One key feature of pluripotent stem cells is their ability to differentiate into virtually all cell types that constitute the human body, a property known as pluripotency. 戻る
Genome Editing A technology used to rewrite specific DNA sequences in an organism’s genome (the entire set of genetic information) to regulate or correct gene functions. 戻る
International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) The world’s largest academic organization in the field of stem cell research. 戻る
Neuroprivacy A newly proposed right aimed at protecting the brain and neural activity. “Neuroprivacy” refers to the right to prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of neural data that may reveal an individual’s thoughts or memories. 戻る
Neurorights Newly proposed rights intended to protect the brain and neural activity. 戻る
Neurotechnology A broad term for technologies that record, regulate, or enhance nervous system activity, including that of the brain. It encompasses EEG devices for recording brain activity, fMRI for visualizing brain function, and brain-computer interfaces. These technologies have rapidly advanced in recent years. 戻る
