Stem cells are unique cells capable of developing into many different cell types. Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, uses these cells to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged or diseased tissues in the body.
Japan has approved regenerative therapies using lab grown induced pluripotent stem cells to repair damaged brain neurons in Parkinson’s and heart tissue in heart failure.
Two induced pluripotent stem cell therapies receive conditional approval in Japan after small clinical trials showed symptom improvement in Parkinson’s and heart failure.
