REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Based on Vesicles Released by Cells
ReproCELL iPS Exosomes
This treatment uses exosomes released by iPS cells. It does not involve transplanting the cells themselves. You can discuss it with the doctor after reviewing the product used and how it is administered.
Self-pay / Suitability is assessed at your examination
01 ABOUT
What does the treatment involve?
Exosomes are a type of tiny particle released by cells, containing proteins, RNA and other substances. Research on exosomes derived from iPS cells is under way, but research findings do not in themselves show a treatment effect in people.
Not a Cell Transplant
The words "derived from iPS cells" do not mean that iPS cells themselves are put into your body.
Checking the Product Used
The effects and safety of a treatment cannot be judged by the manufacturer's name alone. The product name, quality control and intended use need to be explained.

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) issued a notice on July 31, 2024, about medical care that uses stem cell culture supernatant, exosomes and similar substances. It stated that, at that time, no medicinal product of this kind had been shown to be effective and safe and received regulatory approval in Japan. The current approval status of the product used, and its place in clinical practice, need to be confirmed with the clinic.
