Our Facility

Operating One of Japan's Largest Cell Culture Processing Facilities

AS Medical Support Co., Ltd. operates one of Japan's largest cell culture processing facilities. With over 1,000 cultivation cases per year and steadily growing in scale, our cell cultivation — which maintains high safety standards — reflects our commitment to contributing to the development of regenerative medicine.

What is a Cell Culture Processing Facility (CPC)?

A crucial point in performing autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy is the cultivation technology. Stem cell cultivation is carried out at a Cell Processing Center (CPC).

01

Cultivated stem cells must be administered while still alive to be effective. The high viability rate is closely linked to the rate of successful engraftment in the body.

02

In addition to simply increasing the number of stem cells, selecting cells of an appropriate size that can move smoothly through blood vessels is also a critical step.

At the Kyushu Regenerative Medicine Cell Processing Center, we have achieved both ① and ② at a high standard, making it one of Japan's top-class CPCs.
