Abstract: Provided are methods of isolating and culturing various cells in a living state including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from peripheral blood, which use a cell membrane permeabilization method. The methods use a streptococcal hemolytic exotoxin, which binds to cholesterol present in a cell membrane so as to make a pore therein, thereby allowing an exogenous protein to be permeated into the cell, and is a technique of isolating and culturing desired cells in a living state by probing a specific intracellular protein and performing flow cytometry (FACS). According to the methods, various intracellular proteins that could not previously be isolated and cultured from a patient’s blood as well as various tissues may be targeted, and homogeneous cells may be obtained with high purity and high efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for preparing induced pluripotent stem cells from endocardium-derived adult stem cells isolated from peripheral blood and a method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into cardiovascular cells. The endocardium-derived adult stem cells are primary culture cells for preparing induced pluripotent stem cells, can be readily isolated and cultured only with a small amount of peripheral blood, have a high proliferation property so as to be storable without generic variation, and can rapidly ensure a cell number so as to be usable in cell therapy. The endocardium-derived adult stem cells have sternness, thereby having high preparation efficiency, and are derived from the endocardium so as to have the epigenetic memory of cardiovascular cells, thereby having an advantage of being able to be differentiated, after preparing induced pluripotent stem cells, into cardiovascular cells such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes with a high efficiency.

Abstract: A metallocene compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1: wherein M is a transition metal of Group 4; Cp denotes a cyclopentadienyl ring unsubstituted or substituted by hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl or arylalkenyl radicals; Qs, which are the same or different, are halogen radicals, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkylaryl, or arylakyl radicals having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or alkylidene radicals having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; A? is methoxymethyl, t-butoxymethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, 1-ethoxyethyl, 1-methyl-1-methoxyethyl, or t-butyl; and a is an integer of 4 to 8. The metallocene compounds in this invention can be strongly supported on the inorganic support, and the supported catalyst of this invention allows for an olefin polymerization process without any fouling in the reactor, and produces a polymer with better morphology and bulk density.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metallocene compound having a functional group that facilitates the preparation of the supported metallocene catalyst for olefin polymerization and the olefin polymerization process using the same. The metallocene compounds in this invention are strongly supported on the inorganic support due to the strong chemical bond of the ligand of the metallocene compound with the silica surface, which leads to minimize leaching of the catalyst during the activation process. Therefore, the supported catalyst of this invention allows the olefin polymerization process to proceed without any fouling in the reactor with a slurry or a gas phase process, and the morphology and bulk density of the polymer produced are much better defined than those produced by conventional methods.
