The present invention relates to a method for preparing a granule or a pill containing a plant, medicinal herb or traditional oriental medicine decoction extract, having the steps of: (a) injecting a powdered plant, medicinal herb or traditional oriental medicine decoction extract into a fluidized-bed device and spraying purified water or a solution of the same type of extract as the extract powder at the extract powder while fluidizing the same, thereby generating microgranules of the extract powder; and (b) injecting the microgranules generated at step (a) as seeds into the fluidized-bed device and spraying a solution of the extract while fluidizing the same, thereby growing the microgranules to a predetermined size of granule or pill. According to the present invention, it is possible to prepare a granule or a pill containing an extract in a high concentration.

The present invention relates to beadlets comprising at least one carotenoid and matrix material, which comprise wax(es) and/or fat(s) with a drop point of between 30 to 85 C., as well as to the production of such beadlets and to the use of such beadlets in compositions.

The present patent application relates a process for the production of compressed tablets using specific coated particles, wherein the coating (system) comprises at least one wax and/or at least one fat. Furthermore it relates to compressed (compacted) tablets and as well as to specific coated particles.

A microparticle for cell encapsulation is provided, having a core which comprises continuous fibers of decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) and, optionally, an outer layer. Also provided are methods of encapsulating cells in the microparticle, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the microparticle, and methods of treating disease in animals employing the microparticles of the invention, for example, treating Diabetes.

The present invention relates to an extracellular vesicle including a coronavirus-derived antigen protein or a gene encoding the protein, and a use of the extracellular vesicle. According to the present invention, when mice are immunized by administering an activated immune cell-derived extracellular vesicle loaded with an antigen protein or mRNA, excellent antigen-specific neutralizing antibody production and T cell response induction effects are confirmed. When the extracellular vesicle is stored under room-temperature and refrigerated conditions after freeze-drying, high stability and an excellent antibody production effect are experimentally confirmed. From these results, the extracellular vesicle according to the present invention or a vaccine composition including the same may serve as a platform applicable to various diseases with an excellent antigen-specific immune response induction effect and excellent stability, and thus is expected to be effectively used for the development of vaccines for preventing or treating various diseases including infectious diseases, particularly coronavirus infections.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a granule or a pill containing a plant, medicinal herb or traditional oriental medicine decoction extract, comprising the steps of: (a) injecting a powdered plant, medicinal herb or traditional oriental medicine decoction extract into a fluidized-bed device and spraying purified water or a solution of the same type of extract as the extract powder at the extract powder while fluidizing the same, thereby generating microgranules of the extract powder; and (b) injecting the microgranules generated at step (a) as seeds into the fluidized-bed device and spraying a solution of the extract while fluidizing the same, thereby growing the microgranules to a predetermined size of granule or pill. According to the present invention, it is possible to prepare a granule or a pill containing an extract in a high concentration.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating colon cancer comprising extracellular vesicles loaded with an MACC1 inhibitor as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition allows the extracellular vesicles loaded with the MACC1 inhibitor, a colon cancer-promoting factor, to deliver the inhibitor specifically to colon cancer cells and is characterized by high stability and biodegradability, thereby having a low risk of side effects and excellent drug delivery. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is expected to be utilized in a variety of ways as a treatment for colon cancer with minimal risk of side effects and maximized anticancer ability.

The present disclosure provides means of inhibition and/or treating aneurysms and other degenerated blood vessels through administration of regenerative cell derived exosomes, and/or regenerative cell derived apoptotic bodies. In one particular embodiment vessel regeneration is increased through administration of stem cell exosomes/or stem cell apoptotic bodies. Other embodiments include regeneration of vessels prone to aneurysms, repairing aneurysms of vessels, or acceleration of endothelialization after stent placement. Provided within the invention are methods of rejuvenating properties of said vessels associated with physiological health, examples of which include appropriate production of anti-coagulating/clotting factors, control of angiogenesis, and appropriate revascularization of injured tissue.

Provided are novel methods and compositions for administration of pharmaceuticals to subjects with dysphagia. Pharmaceuticals are associated with beads and administered with food, beverage or cosmetic to provide ease of administration to subjects with dysphagia. Environmental indicators are associated with beads for Quality Assurance.

The present invention includes methods of making a hollow exine shell from pollen grains comprising the steps of: providing a plant pollen or spore; extracting organic matter from the plant pollen or spore with an organic solvent; after the organic extraction treating the plant pollen or spore with an acid solution; after the acid treatment treating the plant pollen or spore with an alkali solution; and isolating the plant pollen or spore, wherein the pollen or spore have open apertures on pollens with visible apertures that open to the interior hollow cavity, wherein the same apertures are closed in naturally occurring pollens.
