Arteriosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis is a vascular disease that can lead to serious complications like coronary artery disease and heart attacks. Those with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, or smokers are at high risk, especially middle-aged and older individuals. Despite medical efforts, arteriosclerosis remains a leading cause of death worldwide.

What can stem cells do for arteriosclerosis?

幹細胞療法について

Our bodies have the ability to regenerate and replenish lost cells, such as those in the skin and blood, to maintain tissues that are constantly replaced. These cells, known as "stem cells," possess two essential abilities: differentiation (the ability to create different cell types, like skin, red blood cells, and platelets) and self-renewal (the ability to divide and produce identical copies of themselves).

Stem cells are classified into two types. The first is "tissue stem cells," which replace lost cells in specific tissues and organs, like skin and blood. These stem cells are specialized and can only perform certain functions, such as hematopoietic stem cells that generate blood or neural stem cells that produce cells for the nervous system. The second type is "pluripotent stem cells," such as embryonic stem cells (ES cells), which have the potential to become any type of cell in the body.

In summary, pluripotent stem cells can generate a variety of tissue stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are artificially created pluripotent stem cells derived from regular cells. Research into regenerative medicine, which uses stem cells to treat injuries and diseases, is advancing, including studying disease mechanisms by replicating the state of cells outside the body.

Prevent the progression of arteriosclerosis

With autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy

What are the effects of mesenchymal stem cells?

Mesenchymal stem cells have a homing effect, allowing them to target damaged blood vessels. They secrete cytokines to reduce inflammation, stimulate endothelial cells for repair, and inhibit the abnormal growth of vascular wall cells, alleviating vascular stenosis. By enhancing the environment of vascular endothelial cells through mesenchymal stem cell injection, the progression of arteriosclerosis can be slowed and potentially reversed.

Licenses

幹細胞療法について

A license is required to provide regenerative medicine In order to provide regenerative medicine, based on the Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, a specific authorized regenerative medicine committee has It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Artisan Clinic Hibiya is a medical institution that has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a provision plan for knee joint stem cell administration.

Treatment Process

Our Treatment Process

幹細胞関連のトピック

01

Book Appointment

After your inquiry, our staff will schedule your visit and confirm your reservation.

02

Consultation

After you complete the questionnaire, the doctor will explain stem cell treatment and recommend a plan suited to your health condition.

03

Cell Harvest and Blood Collection

Stem cells are harvested from abdominal or buttock fat. 20 grams of adipose (fat) cells are extracted and it can be cultivated into 20 sessions of stem cell therapy. There is only a very small wound of 1 cm to harvest the fat.

04

Stem Cell Culture

We will culture stem cells and exosomes over about 4 weeks. To maintain optimal conditions, please avoid changing or canceling the administration date once scheduled.

05

Dosing

For Intravenous Drip: Disinfect > Confirm injection site > Insert needle > Secure tubing.

Duration: 40-60 minutes.

06

End of treatment

Before leaving, our staff will provide post-treatment instructions. You may go home the same day, but please avoid driving for safety. Contact us with any concerns, and our team will respond promptly.
