The present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for treating Alzheimer’s disease, which at least includes an extracellular vesicle that is prepared by a method including: a first culturing step: performing an amplification culture of an adipose-derived stem cell in a first culture medium at a cell density of 6,000-15,000 cells/cm.sup.2 until an amplification amount of the adipose-derived stem cell is above 90% of that before the culture; a second culturing step: culturing the amplified adipose-derived stem cell in a second culture medium at a cell density of 10,000-100,000 cells/cm.sup.2 for 20-30 hours; and an extracellular vesicle separating step: collecting a culture solution and separating the extracellular vesicle from the culture solution by utilizing a tangential flow filtration (TFF) or ultrafiltration method.

Disclosed is a method of culturing natural killer cells (NK cells) applied to immunotherapy. More specifically, disclosed are a kit containing a medium for culturing NK cells (NKCM kit) that can efficiently amplify and activate NK cells effective for the treatment of malignant tumors by culturing lymphocytes derived from human peripheral blood, and a method of culturing natural killer cells using the kit. The method for amplifying NK cells of the present invention includes stimulating NK cells with lymphocytes separated from peripheral blood, culturing the NK cells in a medium containing IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, and IL-21, and isolating the NK cells. Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for cell therapy containing NK cells produced by the method of amplifying NK cells. The pharmaceutical composition for cell therapy is expected to be widely used to treat infections and/or cancer.

A method for producing a cell construct including, contacting Schwann cells or Schwann cell-like cells with a biocompatible matrix, and subjecting to cultivation, where the cultivation is at least partially performed by administering mechanical stimulation on the cells in contact with the biocompatible matrix. A cell construct obtained by the method.

The present disclosure discloses a preparation method and a recovery method of pariduval mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs). In the preparation method, a high-glucose Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) that includes a Tryple-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) enzyme of 40% to 60% in volume concentration and collagenase type II of 8 mg/ml to 12 mg/ml is used as a tissue digestion solution to digest tissue blocks, which facilitates PMSCs to climb out of the tissue blocks and grow adherently; and a serum-free DMEM is adopted as a selective medium to terminate the digestion and resuspend PMSCs, which helps to improve a purity of PMSCs, accelerate the growth of PMSCs, and achieve the rapid expansion of PMSCs in vitro.

The invention provides a method for culturing mammalian cells. The method provides greater control over cell o growth to achieve high product titer cell cultures.

The present invention relates to a method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells and, more particularly, to a method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells, wherein mesenchymal stem cells differentiated from embryoid bodies of a certain size in a xeno-free and serum-free environment are prepared, whereby the mesenchymal stem cells exhibit increased safety and maintain their own characteristics for a long period of time. A method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells according to the present invention employs a feeder cell-free, xeno-free, and serum-free culture environment to solve the problem of contamination with a foreign animal-derived material and allow the preparation of highly safe mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, the method utilizes spheroidal embryoid bodies to form mature embryoid bodies uniform in shape and size, thereby improving the differentiation efficiency to mesenchymal stem cells and exhibiting an exceptional effect of stably maintaining mesenchymal stem cell characteristics even after a long-term subculture, such as 20 or more passages, through which human pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells can be prepared in a large amount. Therefore, the invention is advantageous for commercializing cell therapeutic agents superb in safety and efficiency.

Cells may be cultured by a method including the following steps: a first step of preparing a population of cell aggregates having a major axis of not more than 400 μm, and a second step of suspension culturing the population of cell aggregates obtained in the first step.

Anti-aging cosmetic compositions prepared from conditioned medium of adipose-derived stem cells are provided. The cosmetic compositions are preferably ready-to-mix compositions, comprising two separate components: a protein component in a dried form that serves as the cosmetically active ingredient of the product, comprising a protein fraction purified from an adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium; and a reconstitution component, for reconstituting the lyophilized protein component just before application to the skin.

Compositions and methods modulating the steady state of cells are provided. The compositions include metabolites (C1 metabolites and C1 metabolite cocktails (C1-MIM) for use in inducing cells into a different state from their steady state, for example, into a less differentiated state, when compared to their original state before treatment. The C1 metabolites include methionine, SAM (S-adenosyl methionine), threonine, glycine, putrescine, and cysteine. The metabolites are used to supplement cell culture media, and accordingly, cells culture media supplemented with the disclosed metabolites (MIM supplemented media) are also provided.

The method includes: contacting a cell with the C1 metabolites for a sufficient period of time to result in reprograming the cell into a different state from their steady, for example, into a less differentiated state having progenitor-like characteristics (MIM-Cells). Isolated MIM-cells and their progeny, can be used in a number of applications, including cell therapy and tissue engineering.

The present disclosure concerns a cell or tissue culture system comprising a solid support for the culture of adherent cells or adherent tissues and a plurality of cationic dendrimers associated to the surface of the solid support. Each cationic dendrimer includes one or more functional amine group. The cationic dendrimer is protonated at physiological pH. The cell or tissue culture system can be used for the culture of adherent cells or tissues and be used for the differentiation of stem cells.
