Welcome to Mx’s (to be pronounced as emukk’s) Homepage
Current main issues on Mx homepage are as follows. Basically, Mx is a research and development type business entity.
- General biological phenomena related to Glycans and Lectins and those application to real life
- Realization of sustainable and regenerative agriculture and food safety
- Evanescent-field fluorescence excitation Glycan Profiler (GlycoStation®)
- Biosensors for detecting microbes (Optic Biome Sensor OBS)
- Easy to use Statistical Analysis & AI Software (GlycoStation®SA/DL Easy)
- R&D consumables (Culture media for MSC, Special Culture media, New Lectins, etc.)
Using lectin microarrays, glycan profiles of objects can be easily obtained. When analyzing differences in glycan profiling between objects or identifying objects based on those differences, the easiest method would be to combine it with AI. In AI architectures such as Deep Learning and Transformer used in for instance ChatGPT, the basis for the recognition is hided in “hyperparameters,” as black boxes, but their effectiveness is guaranteed. We have already developed a simple AI software product (SA/DL Easy) that analyzes lectin microarray data by applying Deep Learning more than 7 years ago.
News (Impacts of Generative AI）
The progress of generative AI such as ChatGPT is accelerating. The main purpose of the Mx blog is the introduction of new papers on glycans and lectins, but with the advancement of generative AI, it may no longer be meaningful to make summaries of papers. Of course, papers come with abstracts written by the authors, so that it may be good enough for the visitors. But it is meaningful to read them and convince oneself with a “I see.” Also, depending on the reader, what was the point? what was interesting? things like these vary slightly. So, the Mx blog was a pick-up of papers that Mx found interesting and an introduction to readers. Mx would like to ask for your understanding that Mx only read open journals. (Feb. 1st, 2025)
（New Year’s Greetings）
Thank you very much for your help and support for Mx during the past year. We look forward to continuing work with you in 2025. As long as there are customers who patronize GlycoStation and LecChip, we will continue to work together with you.
We could successfully complete our last fiscal year, and achieved a surplus with maintaining debt-free management since starting this business.
