Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device including a memory cell array divided into a plurality of memory banks, and a memory controller that sends read requests or write requests to the memory device for the purpose of inputting data to or outputting data from the memory banks of the memory cell array, respectively, and sends the read requests so as to be separated from the write requests based on a read-write switching point. In a first turn, the memory controller sets a near switching point before the read-write switching point. The memory controller blocks scheduling at least one of first bank requests, between the near switching point and the read-write switching point. The memory controller schedules at least one of second bank requests, which cause state switching of the memory banks, so as to be issued between the near switching point and the read-write switching point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-viral minicircle vector expressing a SOX gene, a stem cell into which the vector is introduced, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a cartilage disease, including the stem cell, and a method for constructing the vector. The transformation of mesenchymal stem cells with MC/SOX-Trio or MC/SOX-Duo, which is a non-viral minicircle vector according to the present invention, can completely exclude the necessity of expensive growth factors that have been indispensably used in inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes. Accordingly, the mesenchymal stem cells transformed therewith, when implanted in vivo, can differentiate into chondrocytes by themselves, and thus have an advantage capable of simplifying the existing complicated steps of culturing cells to induce differentiation and then transplanting the cells.
