Kyoto Univ. Eyes Clinical Study on iPS Cell-Derived Platelets
Kyoto, Aug. 20 (Jiji Press)–A team of Kyoto University said Monday it has applied for approval by the health ministry of a plan to infuse platelets made from induced pluripotent stem cells into a sufferer of a serious blood disease.
The team, led by Prof. Koji Eto, filed the application last month after obtaining permission for the iPS cell-based clinical study from the university’s screening committee in May, it said at a press conference in Kyoto.
