    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to identify a migratory factor that guides pluripotent stem cells (Muse cells) useful in new medical applications to damage, and to provide a pharmaceutical composition that includes the migratory factor for promoting tissue regeneration in regenerative medicine that makes use of Muse cells. In the present invention, a receptor that is specifically expressed in Muse cells rather than non-Muse cells was identified, and it was confirmed that a ligand for this receptor can function as a migratory factor. In the present invention, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was identified as a migratory factor, and thus, the present invention pertains to a pharmaceutical composition for guiding pluripotent stem cells to damage, the composition including S1P as an active ingredient.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting inflammation and reducing the risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases using an alginic acid-based antimicrobial compound. Such compositions provide dual protection by (1) attacking and inactivating viruses and other microbes and (2) blocking the host response that viruses trigger to invade host cells. Such compositions can also be part of an acid buffering contraceptive.

    Abstract: Compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of influenza infection are provided, and the compositions contain a 2-fucosylated oligosaccharide, such as 2?-fucosyllactose (2?FL). The compositions can also include fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Additionally said compositions can be used for improving resistance to an influenza virus, decreasing influenza in the lung, decreasing influenza-induced anorexia, decreasing influenza-induced pulmonary mucin secretion, and decreasing influenza-induced IgG response. They may be used in a infant or a young child.
