  • Patent number: 10167465
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of differentiating mesenchymal stem cells or adult stem cells into nerve cells by treating the mesenchymal stem cells or the adult stem cells with an electromagnetic field having a high intensity of 100 to 1,500 mT and a low frequency of 0.01 to 100 Hz. These methods also provide injecting the mesenchymal stem cells or adult stem cells into a subject prior to treating the mesenchymal stem cells or adult stem cells with an electromagnetic field having a high intensity of 100 to 1,500 mT and a low frequency of 0.01 to 100 Hz.

  • Publication number: 20170152500
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of differentiating mesenchymal stem cells or adult stem cells into nerve cells by treating the mesenchymal stem cells or the adult stem cells with an electromagnetic field having a high intensity of 100 to 1,500 mT and a low frequency of 0.01 to 100 Hz. The present invention also relates to a medical device to which the method is applied. The method of differentiating nerve cells by using a magnetic field, and a composition according to the present invention induce the differentiation of adult stem cells into nerve cells by using a low-frequency, high-intensity electromagnetic field, so that nerve cells or neural stem cells can easily be differentiated through only electromagnetic field treatment in a short time.

  • Patent number: 9499787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for differentiating stem cells into neurons, and is characterized in that stem cells are treated with a culture additive comprising lipoic acid, albumin, hydrocortisone, and insulin after culturing for differentiation into neurons. Since the neurons produced according to the method for producing neurons of the present invention express nestin, neuroD1, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neurofilament (NF), tau, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), and doublecortin (DCX), just as normal mature neurons do, the neurons of the present invention can be effectively used in various therapeutic agents for neurons and as cell origins for an in vitro study system.

  • Publication number: 20160206778
    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.

  • Patent number: 8753881
    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.
