Corporate Profile

  We are now at the threshold of unlocking regenerative medicine, a field that holds huge potential for fundamentally revolutionizing medical therapy. Using the body's own cells, regenerative medicine is a leading edge therapy that harnesses the body's inherent regenerative capacity to restore impaired or failing tissues and organs. To rapidly address social needs and alleviate suffering in those who cannot be treated with current pharmaceuticals and therapeutic approaches, CellSeed is pioneering the development of "cell sheet engineering," a cutting-edge technology that holds promise for restoring each tissue and organ. We are showing what "cell sheet engineering"-facilitated regenerative medicine - an entirely new treatment concept-can do, and together with our many collaborators, meeting challenges with ingenuity, and doing everything day-in and day-out to make such treatments a reality. Through these efforts, we have found it possible to culture cells with high regenerative potential, form these into sheets, and reconstruct various tissues of exceedingly high therapeutic value. In particular, we have made great strides toward commercializing corneal regeneration, and for people the world-over who suffer from corneal disorders, this technology will literally offer the light of hope and be received around the globe as a great Japanese contribution to medicine.

  Moreover, with a broad range of commercial opportunities beckoning for regenerative medicine such as cardiac muscle patches for myocardial infarction etc., treatment of periodontal disease, cartilage regeneration, and esophageal cancer treatment, we will carry out study after study in an uncompromising fashion, seeking to expand therapy to even one more patient, while eyeing cost containment and high value-added pharmaceutical development. Going forward, safety and quality take top priority in opening the door to the untapped prospects of regenerative medicine. By improving quality of life for the ill, CellSeed believes that it is contributing to society and building a bridge to a bright future.
