Clinical research to transplanting cells using a magnet.

In order to cure the traffic accidents and sports accidents, such as in the deficient knee cartilage, the clinical research of transplanting the cells by using a magnet, Ochi Professor of Hiroshima (orthopedic) et al began.
Cells were collected accurately the affected area with a magnet, than conventional treatments, it is expected to be able to make stable cartilage efficiently. In Japan Society for Regenerative Medicine to be held in Yokohama from the 19th, I will announce an overview of clinical research.
In clinical studies, it is taken from the hip bone marrow fluid with a syringe, to increase the stem cells of the original cartilage, to contain in the iron powder. Place the magnet in the vicinity of the affected area, is injected while attract stem cells to the affected area. Carried out in the five patients in the three years, I'm sure the safety and efficacy. In February this year, it conducted a transplant to one person 10 years of age of women. Also later this month and will be ported to the 50s of women. I hope that good clinical results.


交通事故やスポーツの事故などで欠損した膝の軟骨を治すために、磁石を使って細胞を移植する臨床研究を、広島大の越智教授（整形外科）らが始めた。
　細胞を磁石で的確に患部に集め、従来の治療法より、安定した軟骨を効率的に作ることができると期待される。１９日から横浜市で開かれる日本再生医療学会で、臨床研究の概要を発表する。
　臨床研究では、腰の骨から骨髄液を注射器で採り、軟骨のもとになる幹細胞を増やし、鉄粉を中に封じ込める。患部の近くに磁石を置き、幹細胞を患部に引きつけながら注入する。３年間で５人の患者に実施、安全性や有効性を確かめる。今年２月に、１人目の１０歳代の女性に移植を実施。今月下旬も５０歳代の女性への移植を予定する。良い臨床結果が出ることを期待します。
