Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells primarily found in tissues such as bone marrow and they are capable of differentiating into a range of tissues, such as bone; adipose; tendons; nerves; interstitium tissues; blood vessels etc.
Currently, cell therapies based on MSCs have been studied as a potentially new treatment for regenerating tissues including bone, cartilage, and skin, as well as to treat ischemic disorders such as myocardial infarctions and cerebral infarcts.

Shown here is a flowchart of regenerative medicine using MSCs derived from bone marrow. In most cases, MSCs are harvested from bone marrow then cultivated and the proliferated MSCs are transplanted.

KANEKA has successfully developed a device capable of efficiently isolating and harvesting MSCs from bone marrow fluid.
The device developed by KANEKA makes a safer, more convenient, and more efficient way harvesting MSCs than conventional procedures possible.
