Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are identified that enhance pluripotency reprogramming of somatic cells as well as differentiation of pluripotent cells. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell generation from somatic cells leads to the upregulation and downregulation of identified lncRNAs. The modulation of these lncRNAs are capable of enhancing pluripotency of somatic cells as well as enhancing differentiation of a pluripotent cell.

Prefab wall, column, ceiling concrete forms are provided. The wall or column concrete forms comprise a metal mesh portion, dented line portions, horizontal cut portions, edge-pole portions, and a foam or light concrete portion. The metal mesh portion is formed with a shape of three-sided vertical mesh frame, the metal mesh portion comprising front net and two side nets. The dented line portions are provided horizontally across a plurality of locations of the metal mesh portion. The horizontal cut portion is provided at an edge of the side nets and being configured to receive rebars. The edge-pole portion is provided vertically along an inner edge of the side nets. The foam or light concrete portion is disposed and hardened with the metal mesh portion and the plurality of dented line portion. The ceiling concrete form includes a base board, pyramidal trusses, and a longitudinal bar.

A self-sealing tire includes a tire body, a partition wall, and a sealant that is adapted to seal a puncture in the tire body. The tire body includes an outer circumferential wall that contacts the ground, a first side wall and a second side wall that extend from the outer circumferential wall. The partition wall is provided between the first side wall and the second side wall and defines a partitioned space between the outer circumferential wall, the first side wall, the second side wall and the partition wall. The sealant is filled in the partitioned space. The partition wall includes a partition membrane, and dividing projections that are protruded from the partition membrane. Air is exhausted from the partitioned space and the sealant is filled into the partitioned space.
