Regenerative medicine is performed by a committee approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare called the Specified Authorized Regenerative Medicine Committee.
The appropriateness and safety of the treatment are reviewed, and if deemed appropriate, the treatment plan is submitted to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
If the treatment is approved by the MHLW, the treatment can be performed (approved treatment plans are posted on the MHLW's website and can be viewed).
The following treatment that we have applied for has been accepted by the MHLW.
We will continue to work on the most advanced regenerative medicine.

What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine is a therapy that uses the human body's own cells and regenerative abilities to repair tissues and organs, rather than using "compound" drugs to cure injuries or diseases that have lost their functions due to injury or illness.
There are three types of stem cells as follows;
1) Human somatic stem cells
2) Human embryonic stem cells (ES cells) (derived from fertilized eggs)
3) Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)
What are human somatic stem cells?
Since it was reported that mesenchymal stem cells (stem cells) exist in adipose tissue, therapeutic research has been conducted on adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), which are minimally invasive and relatively easy to collect.
Characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (Stem Cells)
Mesenchymal stem cells have
- Regenerative ability to develop into neurons
- Ability to repair neurons and myelin sheaths (" promotes regeneration: a number of growth factors have been shown to be secreted)
- Anti-inflammatory action
- Improvement of blood flow
- Degradation and removal of deposited abnormal proteins

Procedure for Treatment
1 Blood test
A blood test, including viral and bacterial tests, will be conducted on the first visit.
Please note that if the results of the viral and bacterial tests are positive, please be advised that you will not be able to receive the relevant treatment.
Please note that if the results of the viral and bacterial tests are positive, please be advised that you will not be able to receive the relevant treatment.
2 Harvesting of adipose tissue
The abdomen, buttocks, or any other area where adipose tissue can be harvested will be determined after consultation with the doctor in charge of the procedure, and the adipose tissue will be harvested under local anesthesia.
The surgery takes about one hour.
Blood for stem cell culture will also be taken during the surgery.
The surgery takes about one hour.
Blood for stem cell culture will also be taken during the surgery.
3 Culture of adipose tissue-derived stem cells
It takes about two months to culture.
We will inform you of the date and time when it is ready to be administered.
We will inform you of the date and time when it is ready to be administered.
4 Administration of adipose tissue-derived stem cells
After the initial infusion, the administration will be done every 2 to 4 weeks.
The number of doses and intervals will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition.
The number of doses and intervals will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition.
We comply with the Act on Securing the Safety of Regenerative Medicine and Other Related Matters.
