Abstract: A light source includes a controller configured to turn on or off a plurality of light sources depending on a light period. The controller can be configured to turn on the light sources during each of a plurality of light periods such that the light sources emit a light having a spectrum with a plurality of peaks toward the plant. At least one light period can include a first period and a second period and the first period preceding or following the second period. The controller can adjust the spectrum of the light between the first period and the second period and/or during different light periods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a GFP-CAP peptide having an amino acid sequence derived from TGF-?1 (transforming growth factor-?1) and a cell adhesion sequence, wherein the amino acid sequence derived from TGF-?1 consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and the TGFP-CAP peptide is represented by the following formula I: Ile-Trp-Ser-Leu-Asp-Thr-Gln-Tyr-Cell adhesion sequence (I). The TGFP-CAP peptide of the present invention exhibits excellent anti-angiogenic activity. In addition, the TGFP-CAP peptide of the present invention prevents effectively melanin generation in skin to have skin whitening effects. The present peptide shows much higher stability and permeability to skin than natural-occurring TGF-?1. Such plausible activities and safety of the present peptide enable advantageously to application to drugs, quasi-drugs and cosmetics.

Abstract: Disclosed are a noggin-derived peptide and a composition containing the same for promoting hair growth, improving skin conditions, providing anti-inflammatory function, or preventing or treating bone diseases. The disclosed noggin-derived peptide performs a function identical or similar to that of natural human noggin and is superior in stability and skin permeability as compared thereto. The composition containing the peptide of the present disclosure as an active ingredient exhibits remarkably superior effects in treating, preventing or improving growth factor-related symptoms, e.g. hair loss, skin conditions or cut, or treating, preventing or improving growth factor overexpression-related symptoms. Therefore, the superior activity and stability of the peptide of the present disclosure are greatly advantageous in application to medicine, quasi-drugs and cosmetics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a WNT10-derived peptide, a composition for improving hair loss and skin conditions using the same, and a composition for treating a WNT10 signal transduction pathway-related disorder and DKK-1 protein-induced disorder the same. WNT10-derived peptide of the present invention possesses identical or similar activities to natural-occurring WNT10, and has much higher stability and skin penetration potency than natural-occurring WNT10. Therefore, the composition containing the present peptide not only shows excellent effects on improvement in hair loss (for example, promotion of hair growth or production of hair), but also has superior efficacies on treatment of a WNT10 signal transduction pathway-related disorder and a DKK-1 protein-induced disorder. In addition, the outstanding activity and stability of the present peptide described above may be greatly advantageous in application to pharmaceutical compositions, quasi-drugs and cosmetics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides comprising the amino acid sequence represented by the following formula 1 and having the activities of epidermal growth factor and their uses: Cys-Met-Tyr-Ile-Glu-Linker-Arg-Gly-Asp (1) The EGF-mimicking peptides of the present invention possess identical functions or activities to natural-occurring human EGF and are able to promote the generation of autocrine EGF in cells. In addition the peptides of the present invention are much higher stability and skin penetration potency than natural-occurring EGF. Therefore, the composition containing the peptide exhibits excellent treatment and prevention efficacies on diseases or conditions demanding EGF activities, and can be advantageously applied to pharmaceutical compositions, quasi-drugs and cosmetics.
