Abstract: An antibody-drug conjugate represented by formula (I): (where Ab is an antibody, X is a group represented by formula (X-1), formula (X-2) or formula (X-3): (where at the left represents the binding site with NH and at the right represents the binding side with D), D is a group represented by formula (D-1) or formula (D-2): (where represents the binding site with X), and n is in the range of about 1 to about 8).

Abstract: The present invention provides a sufficiently effective medicine for treatment and/or prevention of ischemic diseases, without performing isolation of therapeutic cells or removal of deleterious cells from blood cells/hemocytes. The blood cells and/or the hemocytes are subjected to the action of a saccharide. The saccharide is a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, a polysaccharides, or a copolymer containing a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, or a trisaccharide as a component. The saccharide is a copolymer of sucrose and epichlorohydrin.

Abstract: The effect of physical exercise performed on a physical function of a subject with an irreversibly reduced physical function is promoted. Bone marrow mononuclear cells, CD34-positive cells, CD133-positive cells, or stem cells are contained. The central and peripheral nerves communicate intimately with each other. When these cells are administered to a subject, and the subject performs an appropriate physical exercise, the reduced physical function can be dramatically improved. The physical exercise .is, for example, physical exercise that stimulates both of brain and peripheral nerves based on the interactive biofeedback theory. Thus, for example, when bone marrow mononuclear cells are administered to a patient with a sequela of cerebral infarction, and the patient performs an appropriate physical exercise, the effect of functional recovery from the sequela of the cerebral infarction is promoted.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a mesenchymal stromal cell composition, comprising conveniently and aseptically separating high-purity amnion-derived MSCs by performing enzyme treatment only once. According to the present invention, the following are provided: a method for producing a mesenchymal stromal cell composition, comprising: performing enzyme treatment of an amnion with collagenase and thermolysin and/or dispase; and filtering the enzyme-treated amnion through a mesh; a method for producing a cryopreserved mesenchymal stromal cell composition; and a therapeutic agent comprising as an active ingredient the mesenchymal stromal cell composition for a disease selected from graft-versus-host disease, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, liver cirrhosis, or radiation enteritis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cells with altered cell cycle control. In particular, the present invention provides cells with altered cell cycle control and uses of such cells to identify metabolically active agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cell preparation in which a proportion of leukocyte in a normal form and an undesired component containing at least one selected from the group consisting of erythrocyte, deformed cell, platelet and aggregate (undesired component count/leukocyte count) is not more than a predetermined value. The aforementioned predetermined value is preferably 37.0%. In addition, the cell preparation of the present invention can be utilized for the treatment of ischemic diseases such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, limb ischemia, renal infarction, pulmonary infarction, splenic infarction, the intestinal infarction, Buerger disease, cerebrovascular dementia, diabetic nephropathy microangiopathy, diabetic cardiac failure and the like.

Abstract: Provided is a prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for mild cognitive impairment, which can improve interstitial flow in cerebral blood vessel and the like to achieve sufficient clearance of harmful proteins accumulated in the brain. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug includes 6-[4-(1-cyclohexyl-1H-tetrazole-5-yl)butoxy]3,4-dihydrocarbostyril or a salt thereof as an active ingredient. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug can improve a flow of interstitial fluid around blood vessels in a drainage pathway to excrete harmful proteins. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for mild cognitive impairment may take the form of a pharmaceutical product for oral administration, a liquid pharmaceutical product for oral administration, or an injectable preparation.
