Abstract: A composition for strengthening, developing, differentiating, or regenerating muscle, or preventing, ameliorating, or treating muscle loss or muscle fatigue includes a Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component has the effects of restoring the viability of muscle cells, increasing the endurance time on the rotarod performance test, i.e., the holding time without falling off from the rod, compared to the control group, reducing the content of LDH, AST, and ALT in blood, increasing the grip strength, enhancing the expression amount of energy metabolism-related genes in muscle tissues, increasing the density of muscle fibers in muscle tissues, inducing a change in the fibroblast arrangement to have a well-organized structure, and reducing the expression of MuRF1 in muscle tissues, as compared to the control group.

Abstract: Disclosed is a blood-brain barrier vascular network implemented in a microfluidic chip. The blood-brain bather vascular network structure (BBB on a chip) (in vitro blood-brain bather (BBB)-on-a chip) formed in a microfluidic chip manufactured by a present manufacturing method of the in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB)-on-a chip may reconstruct the blood-brain barrier in a real human body more similarly due to a specific cell configuration, compared to the conventional in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB)-on-a chip, and thus may be used as a more accurate in vitro blood-brain barrier, and may be used for the development of various cellular therapeutic agents or drugs that work in the treatment of various brain diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a use of Substance-P for the manufacture of a medicament for mobilization or proliferation of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the bone marrow, or facilitating said mobilization or proliferation, and use of Substance-P for the manufacture of a medicament for wound-healing or facilitating wound-healing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bio-adhesive agent comprising a surface-modified hydroxyapatite and its use. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bio-adhesive agent for the adhesion between bone and bone, bone and tissue, bone and cartilage, or bone and tendon, or for the adhesion of a shield between bones or of an artificial joint, which comprises a surface-modified hydroxyapatite as an active ingredient, wherein the surface-modified hydroxyapatite is characterized in that a certain linker compound is covalently bonded to the surface of the hydroxyapatite; a method for coating the surface of a metal prosthesis using the surface-modified hydroxyapatite; and a metal prosthesis coated with the surface-modified hydroxyapatite obtained by said method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel use of substance P. The substance P of the present invention exhibits effects of decreasing microglia activity, decreasing proinflammatory cytokines, inhibiting apoptosis, etc. The substance P of the present invention effectively treats degenerative central nervous system diseases or disorders such as a spinal cord injury caused by a traumatic injury (flexion injury, vertical compression injury, hyperextension injury, flexion-rotation injury) and by a non-traumatic injury (vascular dysfunction, arthritis, or degenerative arthritis), Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, depressive disorder, epilepsy, etc.
