  • Patent number: 11351224
    Abstract: The composition of the present invention can inhibit homologous human T cell reaction and the phenomenon of infiltration which reduces skin graft damage in vivo, thereby enabling prompt, rapid and effective graft rejection prevention or treatment effects at a low concentration. In addition, the present invention has advantages of successfully controlling in vivo human T cell reactions, as compared with conventional therapeutic agents, thus providing few side effects, the possibilities of local high-dose administration of therapeutic agents and potentially new treatments and prescriptions.

  • Publication number: 20220009968
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for enhancing the cell permeability and gene correction efficiency of Cas protein and guide RNA. The currently used CRISPR-Cas-based gene correction technology has the problems of difficult intracellular injection in a complex form, unverified stability and low efficiency even after injection, and the off-target problem. In contrast, the composition for gene correction of the present disclosure can be usefully used for gene therapy due to remarkably high intracellular delivery efficiency, inhibited off-target, and ensured stability.

  • Patent number: 10858395
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing a new skin-penetrating peptide, a fusion product with a biologically active substance bound using the same, a cosmetic composition containing the same and a pharmaceutical composition for external application to skin containing the same. The skin-penetrating peptide of the present disclosure is less likely to cause an immune response as compared to existing skin-penetrating peptides and exhibits remarkably improved skin permeability. Therefore, the biologically active substance can be effectively delivered through the skin, particularly through the stratum corneum.

  • Patent number: 10611797
    Abstract: A peptide binding to transcription factor CP2c, having an activity of preventing and treating cancer and represented by SEQ ID NO: 1: Asn-Tyr-Pro-Gln-Arg-Pro, and a pharmaceutical composition and a dietary supplement composition for preventing and treating cancer, both of which contain the same as an active ingredient are disclosed. When cancer cells are treated with the peptide and the pharmaceutical composition containing the same, the peptide can specifically bind to CP2c by passing, with very high stability, through the cell membrane and can inhibit the DNA binding ability of CP2c, thereby disturbing CP2c-mediated cancer cell-specific transcriptional activity through the inhibition of CP2c activity. Thus, the peptide and pharmaceutical composition containing the same can be effectively used for specifically treating only cancer cells and can be utilized for cancer prevention and as a dietary supplement additive therefor.
