Abstract:
Disclosed is an agent capable of inhibiting the activity or enhancing expression of various cancer-related RNAs in TAMS and cancer cells. Disclosed is also a dual-targeted drug delivery system capable of binding to both tumor cells and macrophages in which the PD-L1 receptor is overexpressed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel use of milk exosomes, and more specifically, provides various uses of milk exosomes, such as in functional cosmetics, functional health food with various functions such as improving gut health and immunity, and drugs including a wound healing medication.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel anti-miRNA single-stranded nucleic acid maleimide derivative, which comprises an anti-miRNA single-stranded nucleic acid having a nucleic acid sequence complementary to a nucleic acid sequence of an miRNA. Further, the present invention provides an anti-miRNA single-stranded nucleic acid-serum albumin conjugate in which serum albumin is covalently bonded to the anti-miRNA single-stranded nucleic acid maleimide derivative via the maleimide group.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an efficient carrier for gene delivery to cells based on PCR. The PCR-based gene delivery carrier includes: a shell composed of neutral liposomes; and template DNA and PCR components including polymerase, dNTPs and primers for amplification of the template DNA by PCR, within an inner space defined by the shell. The gene delivery carrier enhances the gene loading efficiency of neutral liposomes without cytotoxicity. Further disclosed is a method for preparing the gene delivery carrier.
Abstract:
A fusion protein-siRNA complex according to the present disclosure binds specifically to cancer cells, is taken up effectively by the cells, and exhibits anticancer activity as it is degraded by lysosomes. The fusion protein-siRNA complex provides maximized anticancer activity so that the cancer cells can be removed by autoimmunity, by inhibiting the immunity of the cancer cells and enhancing phagocytosis by macrophages.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inducing trans-differentiation of cardiomyocytes based on exosome, and more particularly, to a method for inducing trans-differentiation of a fibroblast into a cardiomyocyte, comprising the steps of: isolating exosomes in a culture medium during a process of differentiating a stem cell into the cardiomyocyte; culturing a fibroblast in a cardiomyocyte reprogramming medium containing the isolated exosomes; and culturing the fibroblast cultured in a cardiomyocyte differentiation medium containing the isolated exosomes.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a gelatin-based nanoparticle complex for tumor-targeted delivery of siRNA for specific gene silencing in tumor cells. The gelatin-based nanoparticle complex includes: poly-siRNA chains whose ends are modified with thiol groups; and thiolated gelatin bound to the poly-siRNA chains through disulfide crosslinking and charge interactions. The gelatin-based nanoparticle complex is not degraded in the bloodstream and can be efficiently absorbed into tumor cells without cytotoxicity. The delivered siRNA can effectively silence target gene expression. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the gelatin-based nanoparticle complex.
