■ About Cellbank

The Company was founded in 2004 and has continued to provide cells since before the term "regenerative medicine" became widely recognized. Following the "Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, etc." enacted in 2014, we obtained a license for manufacturing specified cell processed products from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2015.

We operate a large-scale Cell Processing Center (CPC) with a floor area of approximately 300㎡, where we manufacture and store cell processed products. We have consignment agreements with over 100 medical institutions nationwide that provide skin regenerative medicine (aesthetic field) and knee regenerative medicine (orthopedic field), performing over 5,000 cultures annually (as of January 2026).

Utilizing our technical capabilities, which include a track record of supporting the introduction of our services to medical institutions nationwide and over 20 years of cell storage experience, we will comprehensively support our collaborating medical institutions, including operational aspects.

■Skin Regenerative Therapy as Medical Treatment, Using One's Own Cells

― Skin Regenerative Medicine ―

Regenerative medicine aims to restore lost functions or tissues in the body using cells. Among these, skin regenerative medicine is an aesthetic therapy that involves culturing one's own dermal fibroblasts and transplanting them into areas of the skin where cells have decreased. Dermal fibroblasts have the function of producing collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, which maintain skin elasticity and moisture. By transplanting and increasing dermal fibroblasts that have decreased due to aging, symptoms such as wrinkles and sagging can be improved. Furthermore, since it is a treatment that replenishes one's own cells to "restore the original cellular state," its effects are naturally characteristic. By linking with a "cell storage" service, where dermal fibroblasts are cryopreserved and thawed for use when transplantation is desired, one can store their "current" dermal fibroblasts for the future and undergo regular transplantations.

Medical institutions are required to establish advanced systems for cell processing, quality control, and legal compliance to safely and continuously provide regenerative medicine. In this partnership, the Company, as a specified cell processed product manufacturer, will be responsible for cell processing, quality control, and supply, supporting medical institutions in creating a system where they can focus on treatment. Moving forward, we aim for the appropriate dissemination of regenerative medicine and will promote initiatives that contribute to improving patients' QOL through collaboration with partner medical institutions.
