  • Patent number: 11998617
    Abstract: The present invention relates to gene and cell therapy using a cell fusion technology and more particularly, cells overexpressing hemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins have effects of enhancing cell fusion with other cells, restoring cell damage through the cell fusion with damaged cells, and transferring a normal gene. Therefore, when a vector including genes encoding the HN and F proteins of the present invention or a cell transformed with the vector is clinically applied to neurodegenerative diseases, muscular diseases, and the like, an effect of reducing the damage of damaged cells through cell fusion can be expected.

  • Patent number: 10821127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells or treating cancer comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition containing decitabine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt as an active ingredient. The decitabine suppresses creation of a cell population of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) created in spleen and bone marrow in tumorigenic mice and induces apoptosis of the MDSC cell population. Therefore, the decitabine may be useful as agents for treating MDSC-related diseases and anticancer immunotherapy, or an anticancer supplement.
