Regenerative medicine is a field that harnesses the innate regenerative power inherent in all individuals to pioneer new treatment pathways alongside patients for diseases that were previously considered difficult to treat. Using advanced treatment methods, it aims for fundamental improvement of diseases and is also gaining attention as “treatment that restores dreams you had given up on.” Among these, regenerative medicine utilizing stem cells treats diseases by harnessing the repair capabilities of cells that can differentiate into various cell types and restore weakened areas.
HORIE R.P Clinic is a medical institution that has followed the formal process, submitted a Type II Regenerative Medicine Provision Plan to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
, and obtained a plan number.
Using the highest quality cell culture technology, we maintain a cleanroom environment with a cell processing room at Class 1,000 and a bioclean bench (cell culture workroom) at Class 100. We administer stem cells at our clinic via refrigerated transport, ensuring nearly 100% viability by administering them within 48 hours of culture completion. The average cell survival rate during actual transport at our clinic is 98.36%. (August 2024 - January 2025)
The key factor in autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy is stem cell culture technology. Stem cell culture is performed in a CPC (Cell Processing Center), and administering live stem cells is expected to yield therapeutic effects. High survival rates directly correlate with the rate of engraftment within the body, and the process of selecting cells of a size that can smoothly traverse blood vessels is also crucial. The CPC affiliated with our clinic is a top-tier domestic facility with advanced technical capabilities.

Brief Biography
Primary Work History
Regenerative medicine targets diseases such as cerebrovascular disorders, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain, where existing treatments fail to provide sufficient improvement. Among patients who wish to undergo this treatment, it will only be administered when the physician performing regenerative medicine determines, based on examination, that other treatments are unlikely to be effective and that this treatment is appropriate.
