The purpose of the present invention is to identify a migratory factor that guides pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells) useful in new medical applications to damage, and to provide a pharmaceutical composition that includes the migratory factor for promoting tissue regeneration in regenerative medicine that makes use of Muse cells. In the present invention, a receptor that is specifically expressed in Muse cells rather than non-Muse cells was identified, and it was confirmed that a ligand for this receptor can function as a migratory factor. In the present invention, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was identified as a migratory factor, and thus, the present invention pertains to a pharmaceutical composition for guiding pluripotent stem cells to damage, the composition including S1P as an active ingredient.

The invention provides methods, compositions, and kits containing phentolamine for improving visual performance. In particular, the invention provides improvement in visual performance, such as improvement in visual acuity, by daily ophthalmic administration of a phentolamine solution to an eye of a patient at or near the bedtime of the patient for an extended duration while minimizing the occurrence of adverse side effects, such as eye redness during the patient's waking hours.

This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of epinephrine for delivery to the nasal mucosa and methods of treating a subject in acute severe anaphylaxis, bronchospasm or during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The composition further comprising agents, that either prevent localized degradation of epinephrine or enhance its absorption in the nasal mucosa to counter anaphylactic effects, symptoms or complications in a subject.
