  • Publication number: 20140170746
    Abstract: Provided is a method of dedifferentiating somatic cells using embryonic stem cell-derived microvesicles. Particularly, a method of preparing induced pluripotent stem cells by treating a composition including embryonic stem cell-derived microvesicles to the somatic cells. According to the method of preparing induced pluripotent stem cells, the dedifferentiation of the somatic cells may be efficiently performed without side effects using the embryonic stem cell-derived microvesicles, and moreover, the method is expected to be very useful in developing a cell therapy product having immunocompatibilities by individuals.

  • Patent number: 8697635
    Abstract: The present application relates to a pharmaceutical preparation to be administered into respiratory organs for treating or preventing inflammatory respiratory diseases, comprising a peptide which acts on formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) or receptors analogous thereto, in an amount which is effective in suppressing respiratory inflammation. The present application also relates to a method for treating or preventing inflammatory respiratory diseases by using the preparation, and to a kit containing the preparation. As compared with systemic administration of the peptide by injection, direct administration of the peptide to respiratory organs remarkedly improves the effect in suppressing respiratory inflammation.
