The present disclosure relates to a method for inducing pluripotent stem cells by inducing reprogramming and/or dedifferentiation of differentiated adult cells using shikimic acid, a plant extract or plant stem cells containing shikimic acid and an extract of dedifferentiated stem cells (callus), pluripotent stem cells prepared by the method and a composition containing the pluripotent stem cells. In accordance with the present disclosure, ethical concerns implicated with the use of eggs to prepare pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cell can be resolved. And, because the plant stem cell extract unharmful to human is used, pluripotent stem cells with proven safety can be prepared and they may be used to develop immunocompatible cell therapy agents suited for individuals. In addition, by pluripotent stem cells from individuals having diseases, the present disclosure will be very useful in studying the cause of diseases and devolving therapeutic strategy.

Method for inducing pluripotent stem cells and pluripotent stem cells prepared by said method

The present disclosure provides a cosmetic composition which includes at least one ofessence, licorice essence, and mixture ofextract and licorice extract as active ingredient and, optionally, further includes at least one of zinc pyrithione, panthenol andsemen extract. The cosmetic composition of the present disclosure is capable of inhibiting hair loss and enhancing hair growth by inhibiting binding with the androgen receptor and regulating the hair growth factor so as to induce transition from telogen to anagen and prolong anagen.

Cosmetic composition for inhibiting hair loss and enhanced hair growth

Provided is a composition for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth including valproic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. The composition may be applied to various industrial fields, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic and beauty aid industries.

Composition for preventing hair loss or for stimulating hair growth

Disclosed is a composition for preventing or treating poliosis or vitiligo comprising agenus plant extract or puerarin as an active ingredient.
