  • Patent number: 12241056
    Abstract: A method for elongating telomeres of cells comprises steps of: providing physical stimulation directly or indirectly to cells; and culturing a mixture of the cells and a medium for a predetermined time, wherein providing the stimulation directly to the cells comprises applying physical stimulation to the medium containing the cells, and providing the stimulation indirectly to the cells comprises applying physical stimulation to the medium not containing the cells and then mixing the medium and the cells. The method for elongating telomeres of cells is simpler than a conventional method and is superior in terms of time, cost, efficiency, and safety. In addition, the method induces cell division and provides an anti-aging effect, in addition to simply elongating telomeres. Thereby, it is expected that the method can ameliorate and prevent not only problems caused by shortening of telomeres, but also various aging-related diseases and conditions.

  • Patent number: 12011464
    Abstract: A method for producing exosomes comprises steps of: providing ultrasound stimulation directly or indirectly to cells; culturing a mixture of the cells and a medium for a predetermined time; and isolating exosomes from the mixture, wherein providing the stimulation directly to the cells comprises applying ultrasound stimulation to the medium containing the cells, and the providing the stimulation indirectly to the cells comprises applying ultrasound stimulation to the medium not containing the cells and then mixing the medium and the cells. This method for producing exosomes makes it possible to obtain exosomes having a hair regeneration effect not only from stem cells and progenitor cells that are difficult to isolate and multiply, but also from somatic cells that may be easily obtained and maintained, in high yield within a short time by ultrasound treatment that is a simple process.

  • Publication number: 20240101998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell reprogramming method using a physical stimulation-mediated environmental influx, and more specifically, by subjecting differentiated or non-differentiated cells to physical stimulation which can promote an environmental influx, such as ultrasonic waves, laser or heat shock, without the introduction of a reprogramming-inducing factor or a chemical substance to the differentiated cells, the cells can be reprogrammed with just the imposition of an external environmental influx into pluripotent cells or arbitrary differentiated cells having a different expression type from the differentiated or non-differentiated cells, and as such an inducement has a simple and effective production process, the possibility of an autogenic cell therapy can be made greater.

  • Publication number: 20200102547
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a reprosome that can induce reprogramming of a cell, in which the reprosome is characterized by including RNA of a gene involved in chromatin remodeling, in which the gene includes a kinase gene on a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction system, and a gene having histone modification activity. The reprosome may be obtained from a stem cell difficult to process and/or from a readily obtainable somatic cell via a simple process including ultrasonic treatment. A reprogramming of one kind of a cell into another kind of a cell with a desired function can be achieved at a high efficiency in a short time via a simple treatment including a co-culturing between the reprosome and the cell. The cell thus obtained has the desired function without introduction of a chemical or foreign transcription factor into a genome and thus is more suitable for cell replacement therapies.
