The movies introducing wheat cell-free protein synthesis technology and its applications is now available on the Protein Island Matsuyama (PIM) website.
The movies introducing the wheat cell-free protein synthesis technology and its applications was created and released as one of the programs of Protein Island Matsuyama (PIM) 2020,
CellFree Sciences Co., Ltd. received support from Ehime Prefecture under the "Ehime Prefecture New Growth Manufacturing Company Comprehensive Support Program in FY2021".
We are grateful, that Ehime Prefecture selected an application by CellFree Sciences under their "Ehime Prefecture New Growth Manufacturing Company Comprehensive Support Program in FY2021".
Having access to a unique set of about 23,000 human full-length proteins, CellFree Sciences will apply their own technologies including a protein bead array platform to search for new drug targets and therapeutic concepts.
While about 10 to 15% of the human proteins could play a role in disease, presently only about 2% of the human proteins can be directly targeted by a drug. Hence, there is a clear need to expand the number of druggable proteins to develop new therapeutic concepts and to cover a wider range of disease. In this project, we will apply new concepts to target drug targets for proteolytic degradation utilizing E3 ligases. Having extensive knowledge on E3 ligases, it is hoped that utilizing E3 ligases will offer new leads allowing for targeted proteolysis of selected targets while having less side effects than other drug candidates.
Project period: July 5, 2021-February 28, 2022.

Changing procedures for kit manuals from May 10, 2021
Thank you very much indeed for working together with CellFree Sciences and using our cell-free protein expression system in your work.
CellFree Sciences wants to contribute to the global efforts to reduce paper usage. Therefore, we have decided to ship from May 10, 2021, all our reagents and kits without a printed manual.
All our manuals are available for download on our homepage and directions on how to access the manuals and other product related information will be attached to each shipment for guiding our customers.
If you have any questions on the use of our products or how to access the product manuals, please contact us.
We are happy to assist you and to send you a PDF version of our manuals.
Thank you for your understanding and support! We hope our customers will appreciate our efforts to reduce paper use by switching to paperless notes or keeping the number of printed pages to a minimum.
The GHIT Fund of Japan continues their support for the development of a malaria transmission-blocking vaccine.
The GHIT Fund of Japan announced on March 31, 2021, their new investments to support global R&D projects for neglected tropical diseases. This includes new funding for a First-In-Human Trial of the Pan-Malaria Transmission-Blocking Vaccine AnAPN1.
CellFree Sciences is most grateful for the continuous support given by the GHIT Fund for the development of an AnAPN1-based malaria transmission-blocking vaccine! In a project led by Prof. Rhoel Dinglasan at the University of Florida, we had been working together for several years on the development of an optimized antigen focusing on the transmission-blocking domain in the AnAPN1 protein. With the new GHIT funding, we will now move this new antigen to clinical development in Gabon.
We are looking forward to working together with Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma Services, GeneDesign, the Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné (CERMEL), University of Tübingen and The University of Florida to make this important project successful. It is our hope that this vaccine will in the future contribute to better malaria control and eradication.

CellFree Sciences responded to new State of Emergency in Japan
On February 2nd, 2021, the Government of Japan extended the Coronavirus State of Emergency for Tokyo, Osaka and eight other prefectures for one more month. The new measures will be in effect until March 7th, 2021 according to the present government plans.
CellFree Sciences is fully supporting the actions of the Japanese Government! We have therefore extended also our own actions to protect our staff following government directions and to make our contribution to help stopping the further spread of the virus.
We will keep on making best efforts to support our customers also during the State of Emergency.
All orders will be processed as usual as we know about the importance of the work our customers are doing.
Please contact us for more information.
