Haruko Obokata (小保方 晴子, Obokata Haruko, born 1983) is a former stem-cell biologist and research unit leader at Japan's Laboratory for Cellular Reprogramming, Riken Center for Developmental Biology.
Costs of stem cell therapies range widely by clinic, condition, and cell type, but most commonly range between $10,000-$20,000. [108] Insurance does not cover stem cell injections at clinics so patients often use on-line fundraising. [109]
Yamanaka developed the method as an alternative to embryonic stem cells, thus circumventing an approach in which embryos would be destroyed. In May 2010, Yamanaka was given "Doctor of Science honorary degree" by Mount Sinai School of Medicine. [22] In September 2010, he was awarded the Balzan Prize for his work on biology and stem cells.

To successfully treat people with stem cells, you first need to know which cells are faulty. Autism: stem cell clinics are offering treatments despite lack of evidence it works Skip to main content
Stem cell tourism is the part of the medical tourism industry in which patients travel to obtain stem cell procedures. [108] The United States has had an explosion of "stem cell clinics". [109] Stem cell procedures are highly profitable for clinics. The advertising sounds authoritative but the efficacy and safety of the procedures is unproven.
The cellularity of the bone marrow does decrease with age and can be usually calculated by the formula 100-age, and this seems consistent with a stem cell theory of aging. [18] A dog study published by Zaucha J.M, Yu C. and Mathioudakis G., et al. also shows evidence against the stem cell theory.
On September 12, 2014, surgeons at the Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation Hospital in Kobe, Japan, transplanted a 1.3 by 3.0 millimeter sheet of retinal pigment epithelium cells, which were differentiated from iPS cells through directed differentiation, into an eye of an elderly woman, who suffers from age-related macular degeneration.
