Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy

REGENE CLINIC × TCB Tokyo — Japan's only all-in-one regenerative medicine center, treating 30+ conditions from neurodegeneration to anti-aging.

Core Principle

What is stem cell therapy?

Definition of regenerative medicine

Regenerative medicine is advanced therapy that regenerates organs and tissues at the cellular level, requiring specialized knowledge, cell culture technology, and surgical skill. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with self-replication and differentiation capabilities

Mechanism of action

Short-lived cells such as blood, skin epithelium, and gastrointestinal mucosa never run out because stem cells continuously generate new cells. Recent research has found stem cells in neural and skeletal muscle tissue previously thought non-regenerable, offering new hope for neurodegeneration and muscle disease. stem cells continuously generate new cells

Treatment Process

4 steps, completed in 3–6 weeks

STEP 1

Consultation & blood test

Dr. Hirokazu Yugeta personally reviews the patient's treatment history, evaluates indication based on disease progression, and discusses the treatment plan.

STEP 2

Blood draw & fat sampling

About 5–20 grams of adipose tissue is harvested from the abdomen under local anesthesia (approx. 10 minutes). Samples are sent to an MHLW-approved Cell Processing Center (CPC).

STEP 3

CPC cell culture

At a nationally certified CPC, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are isolated from adipose tissue and expanded to therapeutic numbers using Japan's most advanced techniques.

STEP 4

Intravenous infusion

Cultured MSCs are infused intravenously. Follow-up visits track outcomes on a schedule agreed with the physician.

Questions you might want to ask but feel hesitant to

Four common concerns — and honest answers

Specific answers depend on your medical record and your attending physician. We ensure language is not a barrier to your understanding.

Q1Will it hurt?

Pain depends on the person and the procedure. Japanese hospitals follow a complete pain-management workflow: pre-procedure assessment, intra-procedural anaesthesia, and post-procedural pain control. You can ask your attending physician about expected pain at the pre-procedure briefing — our interpreter will translate question and answer accurately.

Q2How serious are the side effects?

Side effects differ by therapy. Before you sign consent, Japanese hospitals will walk you through the possible side effects, their probability, and how they are managed. If anything is unclear, we will ask the physician to re-explain until you fully understand before signing.

Q3How long is the hospital stay?

It depends on the therapy. Day treatments require no admission; some therapies need 1–3 days of observation; surgery or particle therapy may need 1–3 weeks. Your physician will note the duration in the treatment plan, and we translate the plan for you and your family.

Q4How soon after treatment can I fly home?

Day treatments and outpatient therapies usually allow same-day or next-day flights. For therapies with hospitalisation, you typically observe for 2–3 days post-discharge, and your physician issues a fitness-to-fly note. We help you book a flexible return ticket.

This section is general guidance. Specific expectations, suitability, and timing must be determined by your attending physician in Japan based on your complete medical record.
