Title: Surrogate parent technique using rainbow trout induced to mature precociously by overexpressing the follicle-stimulating hormone gene - Can donor-derived sperm be obtained in six months? -
usually2We have succeeded in developing a technology to obtain sperm from rainbow trout, which mature in years, in just six months, making a significant contribution to dramatically accelerating breeding.

Title: Restoration of Miyakotanago derived from frozen germ cells using a heterologous host
In order to prevent the extinction of Miyako tanago, we have succeeded in producing morphologically and genetically pure Miyako tanago for the next generation by transplanting frozen Miyako tanago reproductive cells into surrogate parents.
