Japan approves first stem-cell therapies for Parkinson’s and heart failure using donor-derived iPS cells.
Japan has become the first country to approve stem-cell treatments for Parkinson’s disease and severe heart failure, using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from healthy donors.
The therapies, Amchepry for Parkinson’s and ReHeart for heart failure, received conditional, time-limited approval based on small trials showing safety and symptom improvement in some patients.
Developed by Sumitomo Pharma and Cuorips, the treatments aim to replace damaged brain and heart cells, with patients expected to receive care within months.
The breakthrough builds on Nobel Prize-winning research by Shinya Yamanaka and marks a major step in regenerative medicine.
