Wednesday, November 1, 2023

This achievement marks a significant step forward in the realization of autologous cardiac regenerative medicine with I Peace's personal iPS cell banking service (My Peace), to manufacture and store iPS cells, and induce them into cardiomyocytes for use in autologous cell therapy.

Key Points: 
  • This achievement marks a significant step forward in the realization of autologous cardiac regenerative medicine with I Peace's personal iPS cell banking service (My Peace), to manufacture and store iPS cells, and induce them into cardiomyocytes for use in autologous cell therapy.
  • A major advantage of medical treatment using autologous iPS cells is that immunosuppressive agents are not necessary because no immune reaction occurs when cells are transplanted.
  • However, the differentiation efficiency of iPS cells into target cells varies, and to efficiently produce cardiomyocytes from different donor-derived iPS cells, it is necessary to optimize the method of cardiomyocyte production for each iPS cell.
  • I Peace will continue to work together with Heartseed towards establishing regenerative medicine for heart failures using patients' own iPS cells.
