  • Patent number: 12315148
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for identifying sites for administering cells in cell therapy for central nervous system damage in a subject, comprising the steps of: A) acquiring image data on at least part of the subject's brain, with an imaging device; B) obtaining information on the subject's brain, with a computer device in communication with the imaging device; C) using the image data and data pertaining to the subject's brain acquired by the computer device to depict motor fibers; D) identifying damaged locations where motor fibers have suffered damage, with the computer device, identifying a portion where motor fiber run-data is lower than another portion and identifying the lower portion as being motor fibers that have suffered damage; E) using the computer device to select, as sites of administration, safe regions near the damaged locations; and F) outputting, as graphic display, the selected sites of administration.

  • Publication number: 20250163389
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of storing stem cells while maintaining high viability at low temperatures in an unfrozen state. In one aspect, the present disclosure is a method for storing stem cells and provides the method including: 1) a step of providing a storage solution including a gelling agent at a temperature more than a gelling temperature in a non-gelled state and having a pH of about 5.0 to about 8.0; 2) a step of putting the stem cells into the storage solution and then lowering a temperature to the gelling temperature of the gelling agent; and 3) a step of storing the storage solution including the stem cells at a gel-state maintaining temperature of the gelling agent. In some embodiments, the gelling agent may include collagen, denatured collagen, collagen-like peptide, gelatin, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 12290335
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to: a method for evaluating a state of a motor function of a patient who has or is suspected of having brain damage by using parameters obtained from a diffusion weighted image of the patient's brain; a program for executing the method in a computer; and an image processing device and an MRI device which can be used in practicing the method. According to the present disclosure, the motor function state of a patient who has or is suspected of having brain damage can be evaluated, and it is also possible to predict the recovery of the motor function after regeneration treatment. Accordingly, whether the patient is suitable for the regeneration treatment can be determined before the start of the treatment.

  • Patent number: 12017040
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is for an object discharged from a discharge port to be less liable to form a jet flow, and less liable to cause injury to the central nervous system. A passage 11 for a cell is formed inside a needle body 10 of a puncture needle 1. A discharge port 15 for a cell is formed in a side surface 13b of a front end part 13 of the needle body 10. Furthermore, the needle body is a single tube provided with a passage for an object. Further, a discharge path 14 for a cell, oriented upward from the passage 11 toward the discharge port 15, is formed in the front end part 13. The discharge path 14 comprises a frustoconical part 14a and a columnar part 14b.
