R&D of medical mini-robot including self-propelling capsule endoscopy

Overview

MU Ltd. was founded in 2011 to realize the self-propelling capsule endoscopy nicknamed “MiniMermaid” with individual and continued 20 years development at an university.
The system will be a pioneer of painless medical mini-robot capable of moving freely in a body and conducting medical treatment of digestive tract.
Applying “MiniMermaid” technology, we have developed an aquatic mini drone to swim freely in 3-D space under water.

Product / Service / PR

    The capsule endoscopy (CE) is used to examine painlessly the small intestine. However CE cannot be applied to the stomach and the colon and consumes long time in the examination because of immovability.
    To overcome this disadvantage, we have developed self-propelling capsule endoscopy, which comprises disposable “MiniMermaid” whose fin is attached to the existing CE and a magnetic field generator. Verification of its efficacy has been confirmed by more than 10 trial runs on humen. MiniMermaid without a fin can be applied to the stomach.

Major field: Diagnostic Agent and Device

Production and sales of radioactive pharmaceuticals

Overview

Nihon Medi-Physics Co., Ltd. is in a leading position in the manufacture and distribution of radiopharmaceuticals, which play an important role for diagnosis of cerebral vascular disorder, dementia, heart disease and cancer. Recognizing our mission as seeking novel value to nuclear medicine through our effort to develop new product and technology, we provide contracted services of labeling existing or new drug candidate substances with radioisotopes. Through such services, we support non-clinical/clinical studies of pharmaceutical companies in patients screening and in evaluating clinical outcome of new drug candidates. We aim at materializing “Theranostics (therapeutics and diagnostics combined)” by nuclear medicine and determine to continue contribution to further advancement of medical care.

    TelomeScan is a gene-modified virus for detecting cancer cell. The insertion into the virus of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene from jellyfish causes cancer cells to emit green fluorescent light as the virus replicates within them, enabling sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) which detach from the tumor and circulate within the blood. We focus on especially the detection of CTCs in lung cancer that was difficult to efficiently detect using the conventional technologies and the detection of CTCs on prostate cancer and breast cancer. In these areas, increase in the number of patients is predicted. Oncolys BioPharma provides services not only reporting the number of CTCs in blood but also analyzing the grade of malignancy (T-CAS: TelomeScan CTC Analysis System), and it is expected that such services allow prediction of prognosis and the selection of appropriate treatments of cancer patients. It is further expected that Telome Scan realizes gene analysis services using CTCs (T-GEN: TelomeScan Genotyping System) and facilitates the option to select anti-cancer drugs suitable for cancer patients without conducting risky tissue biopsy for cancers.
