Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly, a battery, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. In the electrode assembly, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed therebetween are wound based on a winding axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes a first active material portion coated with an active material layer and a first uncoated portion not coated with an active material layer along a winding direction. At least a part of the first uncoated portion is defined as an electrode tab by itself. The first uncoated portion includes a first portion adjacent to the core of the electrode assembly, a second portion adjacent to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly, and a third portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion or the second portion has a smaller height than the third portion in the winding axis direction.

Abstract: Provided in the present invention are adult stem cells derived from human skin dermis, and a method for isolating same. Further provided in the present invention are osteoblastic cells and adipocytes differentiated from the adult stem cells derived from human skin dermis, and a differentiation method therefor. Further provided in the present invention is a composition for osteogenesis or lipogenesis containing the stem cells, osteoblastic cells, or adipocytes. The isolation method of the present invention enables the adult stem cells derived from human skin dermis to be obtained in an easy and simple manner at a high yield rate. Genes and growth factors which are specifically expressed in the adult stem cells derived from human skin dermis isolated using the method can be separated, identified, and used later.

Abstract: There are provided a promoter containing ginsenoside compound K for the production of hyaluronic acid, and more particularly, a new efficacy of 20-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol (compound K), a chief metabolite of ginseng saponin, to increase the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase gene in human cell and thereby to promote the production of hyaluronic acid, and an anti-aging agent containing the promoter for the production of hyaluronic acid as an effective ingredient.

Abstract: An emulsion composition of the invention has macro-sized (0.01 to 5 mm) lipid capsule particles and it is for a skin cosmetic composition. An emulsion composition of the invention exhibits improved stability for its particle size by adjusting a size of the particle through a combination of liquid phase oil and integument lipid or lipoid material and encapsulating the liquid phase oil with the integument lipid. The emulsion composition of the invention has unique outward appearance and use feeling due to the macro-sized particles in it, also exhibits excellent skin safety and moisture persistence by containing no surfactant and maintains an activity of an oleophilic effective ingredient which is apt to be oxidized for a long time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-in-oil-in-water multiple emulsion system and a method for preparation thereof, characterized by hydrodynamically stabilizing the multiple emulsion system by using hydrodynamic dual stabilization (HDS) technology. The HDS technology hydrophobizes water molecules in the internal aqueous phase by using a hydrogen bonding inhibitor and by improving the aggregating force between water molecules in the internal aqueous phase by using a water molecule aggregating agent.

Abstract: There are provided inorganic/polymer composite particles having good UV-scattering efficiency and improved dispersion stability in organic formulation; and a method for preparing the same, which comprises the following steps of (1) dispersing hydrophobic-treated inorganic particles in monomer and then adding initiator thereto; (2) emulsifying the inorganic dispersion of step (1) in presence of surfactant and dispersion stabilizer; and (3) suspension polymerizing the inorganic/monomer emulsion of step (2), to give inorganic/polymer composite particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for slimming, more particularly, to a slimming composition containing theanine and at least on selected from the group consisting of caffeine, genistein, L-carnitine and catechin. The composition of the present invention contains theanine and each of caffeine, genistein, L-carnitine or mixtures thereof, and has properties of decomposing fats, hydrolyzing lipid and removing cellulites.
