Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of culturing mesenchymal stem cells using gamma-irradiated serum, and more particularly to a method for culturing mesenchymal stem cells, which can improve the adhesion and proliferation rate of stem cells using a medium containing gamma-irradiated serum and an antioxidant. The method for culturing mesenchymal stem cells according to the present invention can restore the adhesion and proliferation rate of stem cells when culturing the stem cells using gamma-irradiated FBS, which is safe from contamination sources but reduces the efficiency of adhesion and proliferation of the cells. Thus, the inventive method is useful for the production of stem cells for cell therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heteroaryl derivative compound and a use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating or ameliorating metabolic diseases, cholestatic liver diseases, or organ fibrosis, which comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an isoxazole derivative, a racemate, an enantiomer, or a diastereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the derivative, the racemate, the enantiomer, or the diastereoisomer.

Abstract: In a system for automatically manufacturing a pipe spool, when information on a pipe spool is input to a control unit, manufacturing of a spool pipe by cutting an original pipe, processing of a spool pipe, processing of a connection member, manufacturing of a straight pipe spool by welding a spool pipe to a connection member, and manufacturing a three-dimensional spool by welding a straight pipe spool to the other straight pipe spool or a connection member may be automatically performed by a sensor, an automatic device or a robot included in each process and the control unit connected to each of the devices.

Abstract: A bispecific anti-GPNMB/anti-CD3 antibody specifically binds to CD3 (cluster of differentiation 3) and GPNMB (glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B) and uses thereof are disclosed. The bispecific antibody shows high affinity and specificity to CD3 and GPNMB and thus can induce death of cancer cells expressing GPNMB and inhibit proliferation thereof. Therefore, the bispecific antibody can be used as an effective therapeutic agent for cancers expressing GPNMB.

Abstract: A battery management apparatus includes a plurality of battery cells connected to one another in at least one of a series connection or a parallel connection; a detector configured to detect electrical signals of the battery cells; a monitor configured to obtain the electrical signal for each of the battery cells and values of correlation coefficient corresponding to correlation results obtained based on the electrical signals, and to generate identification signals corresponding to the electrical signals of the battery cells based on the values of correlation coefficient and a reference value; and a storage configured to store the identification signals generated by the monitor for each of the battery cells. The monitor is configured to recognize a risk of failure of each of the battery cells based on an accumulated number of identification signals stored in the storage for each of the battery cells.
