In what could be a major breakthrough for Alzheimer’s treatment, the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare has given the greenlight to a regenerative medicine technology based on administering fat-derived stem cells intravenously and into the spinal cord.
Developed by Korea’s leading adult stem cell research institute, Biostar Stem Cell Research Institute, this new stem cell therapy involves administering 150-250 million stem cells intravenously and a further 50 million into the spinal cord cavity five times at intervals of two to four weeks.
