Presentation title: Lipid Nanodiscs Formed by Lipoprotein-Mimetic Polymers and Their Applications in Drug Delivery (Invited)
Author(s): Kazuma Yasuhara, Nara Institute of Science and Technology
Abstract: Lipid nanodiscs are the smallest lipid bilayer assemblies formed in aqueous solution. In this study, we designed amphiphilic polymethacrylate derivatives for lipid nanodisc formation. The optimal polymer, selected through library screening, formed discoidal lipid membranes with diameters of several tens of nanometers. We demonstrated that the polymer-based nanodiscs can be used for analyzing membrane-binding amyloidogenic peptides and as nanocarriers for molecular delivery into intact cells.
Presentation title: Nano-Sized Contrast Agent Based on a Novel Self-Folding Macromolecular Architecture for MRI-Based Cancer Diagnosis (Invited)
Author(s) and affiliation(s): Shan Gao 1, Yutaka Miura 2, Akira Sumiyoshi 1, Nobuhiro Nishiyama 2, Ichio Aoki 1 and Kensuke Osada 1, 1 National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology and 2 Institute of Science Tokyo
Abstract: In this study, a nano-sized contrast agent was developed based on a novel self-folding macromolecular drug carrier (SMDC) architecture with a size of 5–10 nm for MRI-based cancer diagnosis. The SMDC forms via the intramolecular self-folding of a designed random copolymer in water. Gadolinium chelates were incorporated into the SMDC to serve as a contrast agent, and its improved relaxivity and enhanced tumor accumulation were elucidated. The feasibility of this nano-sized contrast agent was demonstrated by the contrast enhancement effect in MRI for cancer.
Presentation title: Optimal radiation dose to induce the abscopal effect through the combination of carbon-ion radiotherapy and immune checkpoint therapy (Invited)
Author(s) and affiliation(s): Liqiu Ma 1,2, Lin Xie 1, Kensuke Osada 1, Yukari Yoshida 2, Akihisa Takahashi 2 and Takashi Shimokawa 1, 1 Institute for Quantum Medical Science, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), 2 Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center
Abstract: Although carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has shown good outcomes, metastasis control remains a crucial issue. This study evaluated the abscopal effect of combining CIRT with immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) at different radiation doses. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with 3 Gy or 10 Gy of CIRT, followed by ICT. High-dose CIRT combined with anti-CTLA4 antibody showed excellent local control but no abscopal effect. In contrast, 3 Gy CIRT with anti-CTLA4 antibody reduced the volume of distant tumors by 40%, suggesting an optimal dose for inducing the abscopal effect.

Abstract: Advances in genetic analysis technologies have led to increasing attention on the heterogeneity of individual cells within cell populations in recent years. As a result, techniques for analyzing the phenotype of cells at the single-cell level are becoming increasingly important. We have previously developed light-responsive cell anchoring surfaces. In this presentation, I will introduce our research on constructing a single-cell array using light-activatable cell ancho surfaces, and acquiring time-series image data at the single-cell level to study the phenotypes of cells.

Presentation title: IR-AFM metrology on latent images in DSA and EUVL photoresist (Keynote)
Author(s) and affiliation(s): Diederik Maas1, Maarten van Es1, Komal Pandey1, Adam (Chung Bin) Chuang1, Takehiro Seshimo2, and Teruaki Hayakawa3,1Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research – TNO, 2Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, 3Institute of Science Tokyo
Abstract: Resist stochastics ultimately limit patterning, a result of interplay of resist composition, exposure, bake and development. Metrologies like OCD and CD-SEM only measure uniformity after development, offering limited process control. But each step modifies molecular bonds, leaving IR (5-20 µm) fingerprints in activated chemical structures. When combining IR & AFM, nearfield effects resolve alterations at the nm scale. We show how IR-AFM offers chemical selectivity and lateral resolution to resolve modifications in latent DSA and EUVL images, even before PEB and development.

Abstract: Two-dimensional MoS2 thin film has gained much attention as not only semiconductor materials but also super-low friction materials. However, its ability is significantly influenced by the quality of the MoS2 thin film. Therefore, the synthesis process of the MoS2 thin film should be clarified and optimized on atomic scale. In the present study, we applied our in-house neural network molecular dynamics simulation code “Laich+” to investigating the synthesis process of two-dimensional MoS2 thin films from molybdenum ditiocarbamate molecules.

This aggregated state provides more transport junctions and channels for intermolecular electron hopping, which will increase the exciton diffusion distance and effectively improve mobility.
Presentation title: Charge Accumulation Behavior and Persistent Luminescence in Organic Materials (Invited)
Author(s) and affiliation(s): Ryota Kabe, OIST
Abstract: Photoinduced charge generation is a crucial process in solar cells, photosynthesis, and persistent luminescent materials. In organic materials, charge separation typically occurs at the electron donor/acceptor interface. While the generated charges can readily disappear via charge recombination, suppressing recombination enables the realization of a stable charge-separated state. Gradual charge recombination leads to persistent luminescence. y analyzing this luminescence behavior, we have elucidated the charge separation and recombination processes.
