ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a regeneration promoter for regenerating tissue with the use of somatic stem cells. The invention also provides a cell fusion promoter comprising ATP or its metabolite which is safely usable in vivo, a method of producing fused cells in the presence of ATP or its metabolite and a related pharmaceutical composition for regenerating or improving the function of a tissue or an organ in a subject suffering from dysfunction or hypofunction due to injury or denaturation.
