Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing artepillin C and a synthetic method for synthesizing an intermediate compound for use in preparing artepillin C. The structural formula of artepillin C is shown in the following formula (IV), and the intermediate compound is shown in the following formula (II). The synthesis method includes the following steps: a first reaction step: in the presence of a base initiator, a compound A shown in formula I and 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide are mixed, the reaction continues for a first reaction time and is stopped to generate an intermediate of artepillin C shown in formula II; and a second reaction step: the intermediate of artepillin C is dissolved in an aqueous alcohol solution and then mixed with an alkali metal salt, and the reaction continues for a second reaction time to generate artepillin C.

Abstract: A method for the anti-senescence of and/or rejuvenating a stem cell is provided. The method comprising treating the stem cell with trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC). A kit is also provided. The kit comprising (1) a first part, comprising a stem cell; (2) a second part, comprising TC; and (3) a culture medium of the stem cell, placed in at least one of the first part, the second part, and a third part. In addition, a method for stem cell therapy is provided. The method comprising administering to a subject in need an effective amount of a stem cell, wherein the stem cell has been treated with TC before being administered.

Abstract: A mesenchymal stem cell extract and its use are provided, wherein the mesenchymal stem cell extract comprises a trophic factor(s), such as bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), C-X-C chemokine receptor type-4 (CXCR4), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and/or interleukin-17 (IL-17), and wherein the extract is especially suitable for repairing skin aging.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a hollow particle is provided. The method comprises the steps of (a) providing a hollow particulate; (b) soaking the hollow particulate in an amine solution to form amine groups on the surface of the hollow particulate; (c) adding a polypeptide, and the polypeptide is linked to the amine groups on the surface of the hollow particulate; and (d) adding a target molecule, and the target molecule is bound to the amine group which are still not bound.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the therapeutic effect of a stem cell is provided. The method comprises treating the stem cell with ligustilide, wherein the treatment is conducted in a culture medium of the stem cell. A method of stem cell treatment is also provided, comprising administering to a subject in need an effective amount of a stem cell or a combination of ligustilide and a stem cell, wherein the stem cell has been treated with ligustilide.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the therapeutic effect of a stem cell on autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and/or hematological diseases is provided. The method comprises treating the stem cell with ligustilide, wherein the treatment is conducted in a culture medium of the stem cell. A method of stem cell treatment is also provided, comprising administering to a subject suffering from autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and/or hematological diseases an effective amount of a stem cell or a combination of ligustilide and a stem cell, wherein the stem cell has been treated with ligustilide.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the therapeutic effect of stem cells on autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and/or hematological diseases is provided. The method comprises pre-treating the stem cells with ligustilide to increase the expression of differentiation-promoting genes in the stem cells, increase the expression of homing-promoting genes in the stem cells, and/or decrease the expression of inflammatory genes in the stem cells, wherein the treatment is conducted in a culture medium of the stem cell.
