Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are at the core of our business.

iPSCs have several advantages over medical technologies using other cell types.

• iPSCs can differentiate (transform) into any other type of cell in the human body
• iPSCs can multiply indefinitely, making them ideally suited for research and medicine
• iPSCs are produced from the cells of the patient, so carry a reduced risk of transplant rejection
• iPSCs avoid the ethical concerns of embryonic stem cells

iPSCs can transform into any other cell and multiply easily granting them a wide range of applications.

Beyond their research capabilities, iPSCs have the potential for use in personalized medicine and donor-free regenerative treatments. Already, huge advances have been made in innovation in medical biotechnology as a result of the commercialization of iPSC technologies. Below, we have summarized the key products and services currently offered by REPROCELL and which customers they target.

Across the globe, iPSC research is advancing. New technologies are broadening their applications in medical biotechnology. By responding to the market’s increasing demands with high-quality human iPSC-based products, we can expand and grow our business.

Our venture fund, Cell Innovation Partners, L.P., was established in partnership with the Shinsei Bank Group. It aims to acquire promising novel technologies, targeting ventures related to iPSCs or regenerative medicine and proactively investing globally.

As a growing industry, we are supported by the government in Japan.

As part of its growth plan, the Japanese administration has pledged 110 billion yen over 10 years to support medical research using iPSCs. It has also established a “Japanese National Institutes of Health”, based on the USA’s  NIH, and has revised the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law to approve medical technologies quicker.

REPROCELL’s headquarters is based in a special zone for iPSC Research 

We are based in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, which is part of the Life Innovation in Keihin Coastal Areas “Comprehensive Special Zones for International Competitiveness Development”". This zone aims to increase international competitiveness by allowing global businesses to lead medicine and medical equipment production, helping related industries and SMEs prosper.

The legislation in Japan supports regenerative medicine

Two laws came into effect on November 25, 2014. These not only clarified the standards and processes for regenerative medicine products but also accelerated the approval process:

1. The “Law on Guaranteeing Safety in Regenerative Medicine” or “Regenerative Medicine Law”
2. The “Law on Guaranteeing Safety, Efficacy, and Quality in Medical Supplies and Equipment”, also called the “Medical Supplies and Equipment Law”
