  • Patent number: 11951479
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting, delaying, or reversing cellular senescence that includes having an isolated cell flow through a microchannel, and crashing the cell in flow into an impact surface installed on a flow path of the cell to apply a physical impact to the cell, resulting in inhibiting, delaying, or reversing senescence of the cell, while maintaining high biological activity, and in particular, it relates to a method that can further increase the value of a stem cell as a therapeutic cell for various degenerative diseases by maintaining undifferentiated state of the stem cell even during a long-term culture period to maintain multipotency, and to the cells obtained by the method.
