Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for inducing pluripotent stem cells by inducing reprogramming and/or dedifferentiation of differentiated adult cells using shikimic acid, a plant extract or plant stem cells containing shikimic acid and an extract of dedifferentiated stem cells (callus), pluripotent stem cells prepared by the method and a composition containing the pluripotent stem cells. In accordance with the present disclosure, ethical concerns implicated with the use of eggs to prepare pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cell can be resolved. And, because the plant stem cell extract unharmful to human is used, pluripotent stem cells with proven safety can be prepared and they may be used to develop immunocompatible cell therapy agents suited for individuals. In addition, by pluripotent stem cells from individuals having diseases, the present disclosure will be very useful in studying the cause of diseases and devolving therapeutic strategy.

Abstract: A method for inducing tailored pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming differentiated cells of an adult by using an extract of plant stem cells and plant dedifferentiated stem cells (callus); pluripotent stem cells produced by means of the method; and a cell therapy agent comprising the pluripotent stem cells are disclosed. It is possible to overcome ethical problems since eggs are not used in the making of pluripotent stem cells having abilities like embryonic stem cells. It is possible to produce pluripotent stem cells of ensured safety because a plant stem cell extract which above all has been verified to be harmless to the body is used. It is possible to develop an immunocompatible cell therapy agent tailored to different individuals.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing customized pluripotent stem cells. Specifically, the present invention comprises following steps: extracting proteins from any of the dedifferentiated stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells, the said dedifferentiated or pluripotent stem cells being prepared by any known method; introducing the protein extract into the adult somatic cells; and culturing the adult somatic cells to produce pluripotent stem cells having the same pluripotency as that of embryonic stem cells. In addition, pluripotent stem cells produced according to the present method and cell therapeutics comprising the same are provided. The method allows pluripotent stem cells to be produced very easily and at a significantly higher yield, compared to typical methods.

Abstract: A switch assembly for driving a load, such as a vehicle seat, for a load driving apparatus comprises a pair of relay elements connected between an electric power supply end and a load driving motor that drives the load in a forward or reverse direction. The relay elements connect both ends of the load driving motor to any one of the electric power supply end and a grounding end. At least one switch for driving the load is connected to a side of each of the relay elements so as to electrically conduct the respective relay element, and a pair of connection terminals connects a side of each of the relay elements to an outer controller.

Abstract: A fabricating method of a flexible display device includes the steps of providing an adhesive layer including a first adhesive material on a first surface of a support film, a second adhesive material on a second surface of the support film such that an adhesive strength of the second adhesive material is lower than an adhesive strength of the first adhesive material, and a third adhesive material encompassing an edge of the second adhesive material such that an adhesive strength of the third adhesive material is higher than the adhesive strength of the second adhesive material; a first passivation film adhered to the first surface of the support film with the first adhesive material therebetween; and a second passivation film adhered to the second surface of the support film with the second adhesive material and the third adhesive material therebetween; peeling the first passivation film from the adhesive layer; adhering a rigid substrate to the first adhesive material; peeling the second passivation film fr

Abstract: A photo development apparatus for use in fabricating a color filter substrate for a display panel is disclosed. The disclosed photo apparatus includes a development solution supplier to supply a negative development solution. The photo apparatus also includes a first photo apparatus to form a positive photo-resist pattern to be used in forming a black matrix, wherein the positive photo-resist pattern is formed by patterning a light shielding layer formed on a substrate using the negative development solution and a positive photo-resist.
