Japan to Supply Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) for Clinical Research
Kyoto University has announced that it will start providing human embryonic stem cells (ES cells) by July 2018 to universities and companies within Japan for clinical trial applications. This is a world-first, as most countries have been hesitant to support wide-spread production and distribution of this controversial cell type.
Previously Japan limited the use of human embryonic stem cells to basic research, because the cells are produced from human embryos, making them a highly controversial cell type. In 2014, the Japanese government revised it guidelines, making possible the use human ES cells in clinical studies, as well as laboratory research.

Cord Blood Processing Method PrepaCyte-CB Leads in Engraftment Time
The cord blood processing method PrepaCyte-CB has been shown to engraft more quickly during the vital stage of post-transplant recovery than any other processing method. At the 15th Annual International Cord Blood Symposium in San Diego, California, in June 2017, the St. Louis Cord Blood Bank presented the median time it took patients infused with cord blood using either its Hetastarch  or PrepaCyte-CB processing method to reach an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 500.
PrepaCyte-CB was found to engraft a full four days more quickly than the Hetastarch processing method (16 days versus 20 days) and has shown to be just as safe to the patient.1 Combining this data with those of other public data sources, PrepaCyte-CB was found to engraft more quickly than any other processing method.
