  • Patent number: 10624926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to blood-derived luterial and a method for isolating and culturing the same. The luterial according to the present invention is a cell or cell-like structure having the following characteristics: (1) it is present in body fluids, including blood, sperm, intestinal juices, saliva, and cellular fluids; (2) it shows a positive staining with Janus green B, Acridine Orange and Rhodamine 123 in an immunofluorescence test; (3) in an optimal environment (pH 7.2-7.

  • Patent number: 10590384
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to luterial, which is a mitochondrial-like unidentified nano-sized particle derived from a body fluid, and to a method for isolating the same.

  • Patent number: 10569194
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to luterion, which is a mitochondrial-like micro-material, and separating and culturing methods for same and, more particularly, to a method for separating luterion by means of a filter having a pore of a particular size, luterion which is separated by means of the method thereof and has unique properties, and a culturing method for proliferation of the luterion.

  • Patent number: 10406188
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting telomerase in cancer cells by means of luterion and, more particularly, to a method for inhibiting telomerase activity in cancer tissues, cancer cells or a cancer patient, the method in which administered are: an anti-cancer composition comprising luterion; a composition for inhibiting telomerase activity in cancer cells; and luterion. Luterion, according to the present disclosure, has the advantage of effectively inhibiting only the proliferation of cancer cells, without affecting normal cells, by inhibiting telomerase activity in cancer cells.

  • Patent number: 10338061
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of diseases using morphological characteristics of luterial which exists in blood. According to the present invention, morphological characteristics of luterial, such as the number, size or shape, and movement (nano-tracking speed) thereof change according to the kind and progress of a disease, and thus diagnosis and prognosis of a disease (particularly, cancer) can be effectively determined by observing and measuring the characteristics of luterial in the blood.

  • Publication number: 20160334389
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening an anticancer agent or a cancer preventive agent, comprising the steps of: (a) isolating mutant luterial or normal luterial from a body fluid extracted from a patient or a normal person; (b) treating the isolated mutant luterial with anticancer agent candidates or cancer preventive agent candidates; and (c) either selecting, as the anticancer agent, a candidate that reduces the size or changes the shape or increases the mobility of the mutant luterial, compared to the control mutant luterial upon treatment with the candidate, or selecting, as the cancer preventive agent, a candidate that suppresses the increase in size, minimizes the change in shape or maintains the mobility of luterial, compared to the control luterial, upon treatment with the candidate.
