Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating neuropsychologic diseases, the composition including placental growth factor (PLGF), or a peptide derived therefrom or a fragment thereof. The administration of the PLGF according to the present invention promotes the differentiation of GABAergic (?-aminobutyric acid, GABA) nerve cells in a memory impairment and autism model to induce nerve regeneration, to enhance memory ability and to ameliorate decline in social cognition, sociability and social sexual preference, whereby a composition for preventing or treating neuropsychologic diseases such as autism, ADHD, mental retardation disorder, and developmental disorder can be provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating neuropsychologic diseases, the composition comprising a mesencephalic growth factor (mesencephalic, astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor; MANF), a peptide derived therefrom or a fragment thereof. The administration of the MANF according to the present invention promotes the differentiation of cholinergic and/or GABAergic (?-aminobutyric acid) nerve cells in models of memory impairment and autism to induce nerve regeneration, exhibits the effects of enhancing memory and ameliorating emotional anxiety, and ameliorates social cognition, sociability and decline in social sexual preference, whereby a composition for preventing or treating neuropsychologic diseases such as autism, ADHD, mental retardation disorder, and developmental disorder can be provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a culture vessel for three-dimensional cell cultivation and a three-dimensional cell co-cultivation method using the same. The culture vessel comprises a well formed by a column positioned thereon and at least one support protruding from the column within the well. In contrast to conventional techniques, the present invention allows cells to be cultured at a position spaced from a culture vessel, thus enjoying the advantage of smoothly supplying oxygen necessary for three-dimensional cell culture structures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for differentiating mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, a cell therapeutic agent for treating bone disease including osteoblasts differentiated by the method and a method for producing the same. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for treating bone disease, including the step of administering the osteoblasts obtained by the method to a patient with bone disease. The differentiation method according to the present invention can stably and rapidly differentiate mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. The differentiated osteoblasts have excellent blood vessel-forming ability and excellent bone-forming ability. Accordingly, the method for differentiating stem cells into osteoblasts and the osteoblasts obtained by the method, according to the present invention, can be effectively used as a cell therapeutic agent or treatment method related to bone disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell cryopreservation device, and can comprise: a first housing for accommodating a plurality of test tubes; a second housing for covering the first housing; center support ribs extended upward from the inner bottom surface of the first housing to come in contact with and support the side surfaces of the surrounding test tubes; and side support ribs extended from the inner wall surface of the first housing toward the inner side of the first housing to come in contact with and support the side surfaces of the test tubes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an insertable culture container and a kit for three-dimensional cell culture, and a three-dimensional cell co-culture method using the same, the insertable culture container for three-dimensional cell culture comprising: a cylindrical side wall having open upper and lower portions; at least one hook protruding outward from the upper side of the side wall; and at least one support protruding inward from the lower side of the side wall. The present invention is advantageous in that air required for a three-dimensional cell culture structure can be smoothly supplied since the cell is cultured at a position spaced apart from a bottom surface of the culture container, and an existing culture plate can be used without change due to the culture container configured as an insert type.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preserving cells and a method for preserving cells and, more specifically, to: a composition for preserving cells, containing, as active ingredients, plant-derived recombinant human serum albumin and plant peptides, wherein the composition maintains a high cellular survival rate while maintaining animal-free and xeno-free properties and is stable without changes in cellular morphology or surface expression factors in the short-term preservation of cells such as stem cells or primary cultured cells; and a method for preserving cells by using the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an insertable culture container and a kit for three-dimensional cell culture, and a three-dimensional cell co-culture method using the same, the insertable culture container for three-dimensional cell culture comprising: a cylindrical side wall having open upper and lower portions; at least one hook protruding outward from the upper side of the side wall; and at least one support protruding inward from the lower side of the side wall. The present invention is advantageous in that air required for a three-dimensional cell culture structure can be smoothly supplied since the cell is cultured at a position spaced apart from a bottom surface of the culture container, and an existing culture plate can be used without change due to the culture container configured as an insert type.

Abstract: A three-dimensional cell culture method on the basis of a biodegradable synthetic hydrogel is provided. The method may include culturing cells in a cell culture dish in a non-contact manner using a porous membrane and a biodegradable synthetic hydrogel in the culture of stem cells and primary cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and, more particularly, to a short-time osteogenic differentiation method of culturing cells using a porous membrane and a biodegradable synthetic biogel, whereby the cells do not contact a cell culture container. The present invention can significantly shorten the induction period of osteogenic differentiation, compared to the conventional osteogenic differentiation method, and has an effect of the cells being easily separable after differentiation as well.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition including plant-derived recombinant human serum albumin, lipids, and plant protein hydrolysates as active ingredients for cryopreservation of stem cells or primary cells, and use thereof, more particularly, to a composition including plant-derived recombinant human serum albumin, lipids, and plant protein hydrolysates as active ingredients for cryopreservation of stem cells or primary cells, in which the albumin, lipids, and plant protein hydrolysates are present in sufficient quantities to reduce cell death caused by freezing while maintaining animal-free and xeno-free conditions during long-term preservation of stem cells or primary cells; and to a method for cryopreservation of stem cells or primary cells using the composition.
