The present invention relates to a composition for hair regeneration comprising a macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle mimetics, and since macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle mimetics are well absorbed into dermal papilla cells, have an excellent effect in promoting the proliferation of dermal papilla cells, as well as having an activity to increase the level of hair-induced proteins, it is excellent in the effects of proliferation of dermal papilla cells and hair increase and thus a composition comprising macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle mimetics can be provided for hair regeneration.

Composition for hair regeneration comprising macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle mimetics

An expression vector, comprising a first reporter nucleic acid sequence operably linked to a first expression control sequence comprising a promoter; and a second reporter nucleic acid sequence operably linked to a second expression control sequence that comprises a response element that is activated or inactivated as one or more of the cells differentiate or dedifferentiate. Methods and kits for imaging and monitoring stem cells comprising the expression vector are also provided.

Composition and method for imaging stem cells

Provided is an automatic salivation facilitating apparatus including a first parotid gland massaging device which massages user's one-side parotid gland, a second parotid gland massaging device which massages user's other-side parotid gland, a first fixing member which connects the first and second parotid gland massaging devices and allows the user to wear the automatic salivation facilitating apparatus, a salivation agent injection unit which is disposed to a lower portion of one of the first and second parotid gland massaging devices to periodically automatically inject salivation agent, and a controller which operates a main body. The automatic salivation facilitating apparatus utilizes a submandibular gland massaging device together with the salivation agent injection unit and the parotid gland massaging devices, so that the effect of facilitating salivation can be maximized.
