【About U-Factor® Solution】

Our company has developed a highly purified culture supernatant, derived from the process of culturing stem cells, using our proprietary technology. We have named this solution U-Factor® Solution (Registration No.: 6396893). The solution is rich in cytokines, which are proteins with physiological activity secreted by stem cells. The effectiveness of this solution was first discovered by Professor Minoru Ueda, a director at our company and Professor Emeritus of Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine (M. Ueda, et al., Neuroscience, 2015). We have since refined and further purified U-Factor® Solution through specialized methods, and we believe it holds immense potential in terms of both safety and efficacy.
