The embodiments according to the present disclosure provide a protective solution, a kit, and a method for isolating mitochondria. The kit includes an extraction tube, a protective solution, and a suction needle. The extraction tube is used to contain cells. The protective solution is used to mix with the cells in the extraction tube to form a mixture solution, and the osmolarity of the protective solution is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 220 mOsm/L. The suction needle is used to suck the mixed solution back and forth to facilitate the release of mitochondria from cells. This method and the protective solution may isolate mitochondria from cells with high efficiency in a simple and convenient way, and the isolated mitochondria have excellent good function.

A spheroid formation promoter, including: inorganic particles having adsorbability as an active ingredient; and a method of promoting spheroid formation, including the step of: mixing a dispersion liquid of the spheroid formation promoter and a cell suspension to obtain a mixture in which the inorganic particles having adsorbability contained in the spheroid formation promoter are dispersed, and culturing a cell contained in the obtained mixture to promote spheroid formation.

The present invention chiefly aims to provide a new differentiation inducing agent (peptide) that can solve the previous problems in inducing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells such as ES/iPS cells into somatic cells (e.g., cardiomyocytes).

The present invention can include, for example, a synthetic peptide having, in the molecular structure thereof, an amino acid sequence represented by the following (SEQ ID NO: 1), or an amino acid sequence formed by substitution, deletion and/or addition of one or several amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence. It can also include, for example, a composition for inducing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into somatic cells, comprising said synthetic peptide.

Disclosed is a method for producing an antibody, comprising culturing in a presence of a polyanionic compound an animal cell into which a gene encoding an antibody has been introduced whereby the animal cell produces the antibody, wherein the polyanionic compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of an anionic polysaccharide and an anionic polyamino acid, and the antibody is an antibody in which at least 3 amino acid residues of framework region 3 (FR3) are substituted each independently with an arginine residue or a lysine residue.

6,8-Disubstituted-9-(heterocyclyl)purines for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions and applications are provided. These 6,8-disubstituted-9-(heterocyclyl)purines have a wide range of biological activities, including for example antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-senescent, anti-aging, as well as well as other activities which are especially useful in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Compositions may include additional excipients and auxiliary substances. Methods of treatment of animals, mammals, plants, cells, yeast, and cells in tissue culture are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a composition including a stem cell-derived exosome, and a method for producing same. A composition according to the present invention has excellent effects in terms of anti-inflammatory effects, fibrosis inhibition, vascular endothelial cell proliferation, blood vessel formation, survival rate improvement, and protective regeneration of cardiomyocytes, and thus can be used as an agent for preventing or treating heart disease, inflammatory disease, immune disease, fibrotic disease, or vascular disease.

The present invention relates to: a cosmetic composition for improving the condition of the skin, containing, as active ingredients, a cell culture medium, an epidermal growth factor and a bovine serum albumin; a method for improving the condition of the skin by using the same; and a method for preventing or treating skin diseases. According to the present invention, the cosmetic composition can exhibit excellent wrinkle-reducing and wound-healing effects even when only a small amount of EGF is used, and thus can be useful in improving the condition of the skin or in preventing or treating skin diseases.

The present invention provides a composite comprising a novel antibody and at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid phase support and a labeled substance. The antibody consists of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 08, and is capable of binding to an intranuclear protein of an influenza virus type A. The influenza virus type A is at least one selected from the group consisting of H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, and H7N9. The antibody is bound to the at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid phase support. The present invention also provides a detection device and a detection method using the composite.

The present application relates to a non-human mammal model of a human neurodegenerative disorder, methods of producing the non-human mammal model, and methods of using the non-human mammal model to identify agents suitable for treating a neurodegenerative disorder. The present application also relates to methods of treating neurodegenerative disorders and restoring normal brain interstitial potassium levels.

The present invention provides a primary cell culture which combines a cell culture medium and cells derived from a hypertrophied androgenic gland (AG) of a decapod crustacean. The invention also provides methods for obtaining an all-female progeny by initially injecting/transplanting the primary cell culture to a genetic-female to obtain a male-Neo-male.
