Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells or dental pulp stem cells. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for differentiating stem cells to neural cells by applying mesenchymal stem cells or dental pulp stem cells with a low-frequency electromagnetic field. The differentiation method according to the present invention can induce differentiation even with low-cost mediums rather than induced neural differentiation mediums which are expensive due to addition of growth factors, and the neural cells differentiated according to the present invention may be useful for treatment of neurological brain diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a bioartificial liver system comprising a fixed-bed bioreactor packed with gel beads containing hepatocytes of an animal, a plasma reservoir, a plasma separator, and an efflux chamber, wherein the plasma reservoir is located at a position higher than the bioreactor, a ventilation filter in contact with atmosphere is provided at the top of the plasma reservoir, and the top of the plasma reservoir is directly connected to the efflux chamber via a connecting line. The inventive system satisfactorily performs the essential liver functions without the problems of gel bead damage or channeling.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a biodegradable scaffold for replacing tissue or inducing tissue regeneration and a preparation method thereof, wherein the scaffold comprises at least one woven silk tube layer and a collagen layer inside the tube layer. The scaffold is excellent in terms of tissue regeneration and mechanical properties and causes little or no immune response after implantation. Thus, the scaffold can be effectively used as a matrix for the regeneration of ligaments and tendons and the repair of injured muscles.

Abstract:
A method for the preparation of dermal papilla tissue comprising the step of culturing mesenchymal stem cells in a medium having a specific composition is provided. The method makes it possible to form in vitro a quantity of dermal papilla tissues having hair follicle inducting ability and, accordingly, it can be effectively used for the treatment of alopecia through cell transplantation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for differentiating mesenchymal stem cells to neural cells by treating the mesenchymal stem cells with low-frequency sound waves. The differentiation method of the present invention can induce differentiation even with low-cost media rather than induced neural differentiation mediums which are expensive due to addition of growth factors, and the neural cells differentiated according to the present invention may be useful for treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of preparing a red clay processed material using red clay and sodium hydroxide and a red clay processed material having anti-corrosive and virus disinfecting activity. Also, a method of preparing alkali ionized water having excellent anti-bacterial, virus disinfecting and anti-corrosive activity using the red clay processed material, alkali ionized water using the same, and a functional product including the same are provided. The red clay processed material and the method of preparing alkali ionized water using the same can reduce the reaction temperature and reaction time compared to a conventional process, thereby significantly reducing the production cost. The red clay processed material and the alkali ionized water have excellent anti-bacterial, anti-corrosive, and virus disinfecting activity and are not toxic, so they can be widely applied in various health-care and agricultural, livestock, and marine fields such as an agent for preventing viral infectious diseases, a food preservative, a natural agricultural pesticide or fertilizer, paint, feed, an eco-friendly construction material, a red tide/green tide inhibitor, a cosmetic additive, or an anti-corrosive agent.
