Wireless mechanical heart pump

SENDAI, Japan - Arrow points at a wirelessly controlled mechanical heart pump, inside a human body scale model, in Sendai, northeastern Japan, on April 26, 2012. A research team at Tohoku University has developed the pump, coming closer to developing the world's first fully embedded artificial heart. The pump can be driven by holding a separate device over the skin to generate a magnetic force.

World's 1st transplant surgery using iPS cells conducted

KOBE, Japan - Photo taken Sept. 10, 2014, shows the Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation Hospital in Kobe, western Japan. At the hospital on Sept. 12, a Japanese research team transplanted retinal cells grown from induced pluripotent stem cells to a woman in her 70s, marking the first time iPS-derived cells have been introduced into a human body by surgery.

Clinical research using iPS cells approved

TOKYO, Japan - File photo taken in February 2013 shows Masayo Takahashi (2nd from L), an ophthalmologist who heads Riken's research team on retinal regeneration, and other researchers seeing an experiment on cultured stem cells in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. On June 26, 2013, a Japanese government panel approved a clinical research plan by the Riken governmental scientific research institute and the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation to use human induced pluripotent stem cells, known as iPS cells, for regenerating retinas. It would be the world's first clinical research using iPS cells that can grow into any type of human body tissue.
