Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition containing mesenchymal stem cells that exhibit excellent therapeutic effects on various diseases, injured parts, wounds and decubitus. The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating a non-porcine animal, the pharmaceutical composition includes a neonatal pig-derived mesenchymal stem cell which produces at least one humoral factor selected from TGF-?1, TGF-?2, VEGF-A and VEGF-C.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for simply inducing an anti-apoptotic effect and/or an anti-necrotic effect in a living cell with good control without administering any drug. The method includes applying an alternating-current voltage to the living cell so that an electric current of 25 ?A or higher but 75 ?A or lower flows to induce an anti-apoptotic effect and/or an anti-necrotic effect in the living cell. The living cell used may be a cultured cell. The alternating-current voltage may be applied to a stage member on which a container holding the living cell is placed.
