Abstract: In the present disclosure, the effect of the TGF?/Smad3/EPB41L5 molecular mechanism on cancer cells has been identified, and it has been found that high expression of EPB41L5 is correlated with poor overall survival of cancer patients, indicating that EPB41L5 is a potential prognostic marker of cancer. Thus, the present disclosure specifies an epitope of EPB41L5 to allow EPB41L5 to be recognized as an antigen, and relates to an antibody or a fragment thereof which binds specifically to the epitope. The antibody according to the present disclosure may be usefully employed as a therapeutic agent for EPB41L5-related cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody that recognizes a specific motif of WLS protein so as to inhibit overactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway to thereby prevent or treat a disease associated with the Wnt signaling pathway, and to a pharmaceutical composition containing the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water soluble magnetic nanocomposite using an amphiphilic compound. Specifically, the present invention relates to water soluble magnetic nanocomposite which may be not only used as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an intelligent contrast agent for diagnosing cancer characterized by binding a tissue-specific binder ingredient, a drug delivery system for simultaneous diagnosis and treatment by polymerizing or enveloping drugs and binding a tissue-specific binder ingredient, but also used for separating a target substance using magnetism, and a process for preparing the same.
