  • Patent number: 11850297
    Abstract: A composition containing a combination of exosomes and sapogenin as an active ingredient is disclosed. The composition is able to promote preadipocyte proliferation, lipid uptake into adipocytes, and/or adipogenesis, but reduce the cytotoxicity caused by sapogenin. Therefore, the composition can reduce side effects on the body or skin, and can be used such that it is conveniently applied to a dissatisfactory part of the body showing flaws which look less plump due to a deficit in lipids and the like, or an area of the skin showing flaws caused by a deficit in lipids.

  • Patent number: 11529370
    Abstract: A composition for strengthening skin barrier or improving skin barrier function is able to improve objective indicators related to the protection of skin barrier, the strengthening of skin barrier, and/or the improvement of skin barrier function. The composition exhibits the effects of increasing the amount of ceramides, dihydroceramides and sphingoid bases, increasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the synthesis thereof, and decreasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the degradation thereof. In addition, the composition is able to restore skin barrier function by reducing TSLP, IL-4, and IL-13 which are closely associated with skin barrier damage, and thus interrupting a vicious circle in which the lipids and proteins contributing to skin barrier decrease.

  • Patent number: 11337419
    Abstract: A method of lyophilizing exosomes using a cryoprotectant comprising methionine, mannitol and trehalose is disclosed. The lyophilized exosome product shows a good appearance which maintains a porous sponge shape without forming ice crystals. In addition, the lyophilized exosome product can be applied to a pharmaceutical composition, a skin external preparation and a cosmetic composition. For example, the lyophilized exosome product can be used as a solution obtained by simply mixing it with a diluent.

  • Publication number: 20080242557
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for detecting interactions between molecules, such as, biomolecules, and relates to a method for screening target molecules, both in vivo and in vitro. In this invention, the first detecting material and the second detecting material are provided, wherein the first detecting material is bound to a localizer which is translocated by externally applied driving force, and the second detecting material is bound to a label. Thus, the complex of the first detecting material and the second detecting material can be detected reversibly by changing the strength of the externally applied driving force, and the target molecule can be screened effectively.
