Addressing unmet medical needs.
Joint Research TWMU×U-Factor
Research Background
A cerebral aneurysm is a bulging, blister-like area on a blood vessel in the brain, with a prevalence rate of about 3%. If a cerebral aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to severe subarachnoid hemorrhage, resulting in death for approximately 40% of affected individuals. Even among those who survive, many are left with significant long-term disabilities, such as being bedridden. Currently, the only preventive measure against aneurysm rupture is surgical treatment to occlude the aneurysm. However, surgical interventions carry risks of complications, making the development of non-surgical treatments for rupture prevention a critical priority. In this study, we plan to evaluate the efficacy of our U-Factor® solution in preventing cerebral aneurysm rupture.
This research involves a collaborative study using the U-Factor® solution to evaluate its effects on these conditions.
Initiation of Basic Research on Cerebral Aneurysm Using Stem Cell Culture Supernatant
In this study, we plan to provide U-Factor® solution to Tokyo Women's Medical University to conduct various basic experiments related to cerebral aneurysms. As mentioned above, we aim to verify the efficacy and potential of U-Factor® solution in preventing cerebral aneurysm rupture, for which no effective non-surgical treatments currently exist.
