Recently, many charge-ordered compounds containing mixed-valence transition metal ions have been considered as possible multiferroics. Theoretically it has been proposed that charge (orbital) ordering could generate “electronic ferroelectricity” in some of these compounds. Experimentally, temperature- and frequency-de…

Adipose tissue-derived stem/progenitor cells (ASCs) have attracted attention as a cell source that replaces marrow stromal cells (MSCs); ASCs may thus have applications in both regenerative medicine and cell transplantation. These medical treatments, however, require a high-quality supply of human ASCs. Therefore, the…
