Abstract:
The present invention relates to a human resistin receptor. More specifically, provided are a method for searching for a receptor for a human resistin protein, a method for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis using a regulator which regulates the expression or activity of a human resistin receptor, and a pharmaceutical composition containing a regulator which regulates the expression or activity of a human resistin receptor. It is possible to separate a receptor which directly binds to resistin from human monocytes using the method for searching for a receptor for a human resistin protein of the present invention, and the discovery of the signal delivery system of a resistin receptor is expected to contribute to the regulation of inflammatory effects of a monocyte, the diagnosis of the molecular cause of blood vessel inflammation and atherosclerosis, and the development of an agent for preventing and treating inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing personalized pluripotent stem cells having the same differentiation potency as embryonic stem cells, which comprises the following steps: preparing protein extracts separated from various types of undifferentiated stem cells induced through a variety of methods (induced Pluripotent Stem cells, iPS); infusing the extracts into adult cells; and deriving pluripotent stem cells having the same differentiation potency as embryonic stem cells by culturing the adult cells infused with the extracts. In addition, the present invention relates to pluripotent stem cells produced by the method and cell therapy products that include pluripotent stem cells. In comparison to conventional manufacturing methods for pluripotent stem cells, the method of the present invention allows pluripotent stem cells to be produced with ease and remarkably high efficiency.
