Kyoto Univ: Partner with iPS Cell Research ､Christian Dior: Stem cell research of LVMH
Kyoto Univ / iPS Cell Laboratory
IPS Cell Research Institute (CiRA), Kyoto University and LVMH research center of Parfum Christian Dior,
has started the research collaboration.
Oxidative metabolism is self-renewal of skin keratinocytes,
Collaborative research to explore the effects on differentiation potential,
CiRA: Prof. Shinya Yamanaka , the director
CiRA is headed by Professor Shinya Yamanaka, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012.
Aiming to realize a new treatment method using iPS cell 1 technology, conduct advanced research for medical applications such as regenerative medicine and drug discovery.
CiRA: Research results
Until now, based on research results at CiRA,
Parkinson’s disease,
Intractable diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Clinical trials and clinical research have started.
Dior Science:
In research on the skin area, we have been continuing the stem cell research business for 20 years.
So far, in addition to 17 new findings and about 55 papers published, we have conducted joint research with academic institutions.
very interested in “development of technology for initializing somatic cells and producing stem cells” and “advanced research results on stem cell technology”.
This joint research is positioned as an important step in “Aiming for a better understanding of stem cell changes due to aging”.
This joint research:
Aiming to “study the effects of aging on mitochondria and develop treatments for skin regeneration”.
Specifically, the Wolzen Laboratory, led by Associate Professor Knut Wolzen (CiRA Future Life Sciences Development Division), will provide know-how on iPS cells and genome editing technology for elderly healthy donors.
