We develop and sell therapeutic drugs and skin care cosmetics, focusing on drug transdermal absorption technology that can absorb both water-soluble and hydrophobic compounds of large molecular weight. In particular, in joint research with Kobe University, we found that carbon dioxide transdermal absorption has an increase and activation effect on mitochondria, and it has been revealed that it can safely increase muscle strength, promote healing of wounds/fractures, and inhibit scarring, partial weight loss by promoting fat metabolism, and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Some products are on the market not only in Japan but also in other countries.
An Osaka University-spinoff startup enabling high-precision testing in a short time using proprietary immunoassay technology. Aiming to realize a society where anyone can easily access medical-grade testing.
Focusing on microvascular disorders throughout the body, we have developed the world's first “vascular endothelial stem cells” as a cell-based therapeutic agent, providing a novel vascular regeneration treatment to reduce the risk of heart disease and dementia.
The heart is an organ upon which life itself depends. With a commitment to providing new treatment options for heart failure and saving many lives, iHeart Japan is developing regenerative medicine products using iPS cells. Our product, IHJ-301, combines cells derived from iPS cells, including cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells, with a biomaterial, enabling long-term survival following implantation onto the heart and is expected to deliver strong therapeutic efficacy. Going forward, we plan to commercialize this product in Japan and internationally, with the aim of realizing a society in which patients can be saved without heart transplantation.
