摘要:
The present invention relates to an in vitro culture of haematopoietic cells, wherein said haematopoietic cells differentiate to form granulocytes characterised by the ability to kill cancer cells. The invention also relates to said granulocytes, methods for identifying said haematopoietic cells and granulocytes, compositions and kits comprising the same, as well as uses of the same for treating cancer.

Abstract of DisclosureThe present invention relates to a method for differentiating a neural stem cell into a neuronal cell such as a neuroblast or a neuron in vitro or in vivo. Particularly, the invention provides for a method for neural stem cell differentiation by contacting the neural stem cell with a 5HT1A ligand or agonist.

Tryptamine, a normal constituent of the diet and an inhibitor of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS), induces formation of Alzheimer's disease characteristics as extracellular senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles containing paired helical neurofilaments and/or straight neurofilaments in human differentiated neuronal cells. The effect of tryptamine on neuronal cells is dose-dependent and multi-staged resulting in differentiation and subsequently axon growth, followed by neurodegeneration. TrpRS was found normally in the neuronal body, axons and dendrites, whereas tryptamine induces it in the cytoskeleton. In tryptamine-treated cells, TrpRS co-localized with abnormally phosphorylated tau in neurofibrillary tangles and with null-amyloid in senile plaque-like formations. Moreover, TrpRS was detected in neurofibrillary tangles and congophilic senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease brain sections and brain sections of model mice following tryptamine treatment. The secreted TrpRS was demonstrated in human sera. These findings provide a new perspective on the versatility of TrpRS functions and indicate that tryptamine may be involved in the induction of Alzheimer's disease.

The present invention refers to the use of N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin) and/or an analogue thereof, for use in the medical or veterinary field in the assisted reproduction for promoting the mechanism of implantation of the embryo, and in particular for the prevention of implantation failure into the uterus, by topical administration of an effective amount in a mammalian subject female in need of such treatment, and related compositions, culture media and medical devices.
摘要:
A method of activating a latent neural precursor cell population, comprising: (1) providing a neural cell population derived from the hippocampus; (2) introducing the neural cell population to a neurosphere-forming culture medium; and (3) activating the latent precursor cell population by treatment with a β3 adrenergic receptor agonist.
摘要:
Disclosed are a medium for mammalian somatic cells with which mammalian somatic cells can be grown effectively when the mammalian somatic cells are cultured, while reducing the amount of serum to be added to the medium as much as possible or without adding serum thereto, and an additive to constitute the medium. By blending of a ligand for an endothelial cell differentiation gene (Edg) family receptor and a ligand for a serotonin receptor to a medium, somatic cells of mammals can be grown even in cases where the medium does not contain serum at all or contains only a small amount thereof.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a culture medium for producing extracellular vesicles, a culture medium kit, an additive, and a method for producing extracellular vesicles, whereby the production of extracellular vesicles is promoted. The present invention is to provide a culture medium for producing extracellular vesicles. The culture medium for producing extracellular vesicles contains a basal medium for culturing animal cells, and at least one component selected from L-glutamine or a salt thereof, transferrin, selenious acid or a salt thereof, insulin, insulin-like growth factors, a serotonin compound, and transforming growth factor β. Furthermore, in a case of containing L-glutamine or a salt thereof, the culture medium for producing extracellular vesicles contains L-glutamine or a salt thereof with a concentration of 5 mM or more in the culture medium for producing extracellular vesicles. The present invention is to further provide a culture medium kit, an additive, and a method for producing extracellular vesicles.
