Abstract:
The present application relates to a composition comprising extracellular membrane vesicles derived from indoor air. In addition, the present application provides a method for diagnosing, preventing and/or treating an inflammatory respiratory disease, lung cancer and the like using the extracellular membrane vesicles. In detail, the present application involves injecting extracellular membrane vesicles present in indoor air into an animal in order to prepare an animal respiratory disease model, and enables the search and/or discovery of drug candidates for preventing or treating respiratory diseases using the animal model. The present application provides a vaccine for preventing and/or treating respiratory diseases, to a method for diagnosing substances causing respiratory diseases, and to a method for inhibiting the activities of extracellular membrane vesicles in indoor air or removing the extracellular membrane vesicles from indoor air so as to prevent the occurrence and exacerbation of respiratory diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to providing the IP-10 protein (interferon-γ-inducible protein 10) as a novel therapeutic target relating to the etiology of bone diseases with bone destruction associated with RNAKL expression and osteoclast formation. More specifically, the present invention relates to (i) a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a disease or disorder associated with the expression of RANKL (receptor activator of NF-κB ligand), (ii) a method for inhibiting the expression of RANKL and (iii) a method for screening an antibody drug candidate to inhibit the expression of RANKL.
Abstract:
Provided is a binding update method in MIPv6 which includes: a first step of generating, with a mobile node, a HoTI (Home Test Init) message and transmitting the HoTI message to a corresponding node; a second step of generating a CoTI (Care of Test Init) message and transmitting the CoTI message to the corresponding node; a third step of generating, with the corresponding node, a HoT (Home of Test) message and transmitting the HoT message to the mobile node; a fourth step of generating a CoT (Care-of Test) message and transmitting the CoT message to the mobile node; a fifth step of generating, with the mobile node, a BU (Binding Update) message and transmitting the BU message to the corresponding node; and a sixth step of verifying, with the corresponding node, the BU message and transmitting a BA (Binding Ack) message to the mobile node.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for inducing embryonic stem cell differentiation comprising a MEK/ERK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular regulated kinase) signal transduction inhibitor and BMP (bone morphogenetic protein), and a method for inducing differentiation of embryonic stem cells into mesodermal cells using the same. Further, the mesodermal cells obtained by the above method are able to differentiate into various mesenchymal tissue cells. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for inducing differentiation into hemangioblast by culturing the mesodermal cells obtained by the above method in the presence of VEGF (vascular endothelial cell growth factor) and bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor). The differentiated hemangioblasts can be further differentiated into vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and hematopoietic stem cells under various culture conditions.

Abstract:
A method of and an authentication server for distributing a key are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method of distributing a key, which is distributed by an authentication server connected with wireless terminals through a communication network, for encrypting and decrypting data in accordance with providing a service can include: obtaining characteristic information by decrypting encrypted characteristic information that has been received from each of n number of wireless terminals; generating a random key; generating a group key used for encrypting and decrypting data in accordance with providing a service; and generating a distribution key by using the random key, the group key and the characteristic information, and transmitting the distribution key to each wireless terminal.
Abstract:
A mobile communication terminal is provided. The mobile communication terminal includes a communication module for transmitting and receiving data in order to perform audiovisual communication with at least one other party's terminal; a camera module for photographing an image; a touch screen for displaying a first image received from the at least one other party's terminal and a second image acquired from the camera module; and a controller for changing, when the first image or the second image displayed on the touch screen is touched, a display manner of the first image and the second image.
Abstract:
In order to enhance image quality, a terminal, when displaying an image on a QVGA display with a resolution greater than the image itself, renders one of every 5 to 7 pixel rows and one of every 5 to 7 pixel columns semi-transparent. The semi-transparent pixel rows and columns are displayed with opacity of between 10% and 40% of the original pixels. For example, an image having a resolution of 176×144 pixels is displayed at 320×240 pixels on a QVGA display will have one of every 5 to 7 pixel rows and columns semi-transparent.
