METHOD FOR PRODUCING STEM CELL WITH ENHANCED EFFICACY
Disclosed is a method for producing a stem cell with enhanced efficacy, a stem cell produced thereby, and a method for treating a disease using the same.
According to the present invention, sizes of stem cells may be reduced and proliferation ability, differentiation potency, migration ability, and angiogenic potential of stem cells may be significantly enhanced by applying a culturing method provided herein. Thus the present invention may be usefully applied to development of therapeutic agents using stem cells.

VESICLE AND USE THEREOF
Provided are a vesicle and the use thereof. The vesicle is an induced vesicle, and the sources thereof include stem cells or somatic cells, and the possessed markers include Syntaxin 4. Compared with an exosome in mesenchymal stem cells, the vesicle can specifically express Syntaxin 4 and can be used to distinguish characteristic markers of MSC-derived vesicles and exosomes. The vesicle can play a procoagulant effect in vitro, can improve the bleeding tendency of mice with hemophilia after in vivo injection, and can be used for the treatment of improving the bleeding tendency of hemophilia. In addition, the vesicle can be expelled through the skin and hair.
