Abstract:
Provided is a composition for wound-healing containing adult stem cells and elastin-like polypeptides, and more specifically, to a composition for wound-healing capable of effectively treating skin wounds by simultaneously administering elastin-like polypeptides along with adult stem cells thereby increasing the viability of the adult stem cells transplanted on the wounds and promoting angiogenesis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for culturing neural stem cells into spheroids, the method including: culturing neural stem cells in a culture vessel coated with a protein containing a VGVPG pentapeptide and an RGD integrin receptor ligand; and isolating the neural stem cells that are aggregated and formed into spheroids during the culturing.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a PLGA (poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)) cell scaffold. The cell scaffold is based on a PLGA scaffold, which is an FDA-approved material with no cytotoxicity, and overcomes the problem with conventional PLGA scaffolds of poor cell adhesion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to coronavirus infectious disease COVID-19 therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, CTP delta, and uses thereof. Compared to a known peptide (P6) which mimics the binding site of a receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, and CTP delta according to the present invention comprise a novel part obtained by adding a novel sequence of amino acids, wherein the interaction of atoms constituting the amino acids has been fundamentally designed in order to strengthen the binding of SARS-CoV2 to a novel epitope of RBD. The present invention provides therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, and CTP delta having a novel design and capable of binding more strongly than known peptides due to being creative designs of the extended therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, and CTP delta, wherein the therapeutic proteins can additionally interact with charged amino acids of D420 and K458 on the rear side of the conventional binding interface between RBD and hACE2 or additionally interact with charged amino acids such as R454, K458, D467, and E471. The therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, and CTP delta according to the present invention have the potential of being highly applicable as COVID-19 therapeutic agents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a peptide for treatment of the corona virus infection COVID-19 and a use thereof. In order to make the binding to the new epitope of SARS-CoV2 RBD stronger compared to the peptide (P6) simulating the conventionally known binding site between SARS-CoV RBD and ACE2, the peptide of the present invention includes a new portion added with a novel amino acid sequence fundamentally designed for interaction in the dimension of atoms consisting of the amino acids. Suggested in the present invention is a novel design of a peptide having higher binding affinity than conventionally known peptides, wherein an expanded peptide is creatively designed to additionally interact with charged amino acids of D420 and K458, located at the rear side of the known binding boundary between RBD and hACE2. The peptide of the present invention exhibits high possibility as a therapeutic agent for COVID-19.
