Applications of butylidenephthalide (BP), comprising the use of BP in providing a kit for promoting differentiation of stem cells into brown adipose cells, and the use of BP in preparing a medicament, wherein the medicament is used for inhibiting the accumulation of white adipose cells, promoting the conversion of white adipose cells into brown adipose cells, inhibiting weight gain and/or reducing the content of triglycerides, glucose, and total cholesterol in blood.

Applications of butylidenephthalide

The present disclosure provides an iPSC cell derived from a somatic cell comprising a Cbx family gene and the applications thereof. Also provided are methods for generating the somatic cells that have potential to become induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells (iPS cells) without oncogenic properties, and methods for generating iPS cells from the population of cells, which may then be used for transplantation and for cellular differentiation and interaction.
