Rev. of AGA Treat94 Interview with Prof.Fukuda 2
にほんブログ村 人気ブログランキング"The initiative for hair regeneration began when a freshman joined the laboratory."Kasai: I understand that you have been working on regenerative medicine for liver and pancreatic cells for many years. What prompted you to venture into the different field of hair regeneration?Fukuda: Indeed, our laboratory has been focusing on developing techniques for culturing liver and pancreatic cells. We continue to advance research in this area. Both the liver and pancreas are crucial for metabolism in the body. The liver is involved in metabolism, storage of energy sources, detoxification, and the pancreas controls blood sugar levels. Loss of these functions greatly impacts health. Therefore, we have been conducting research to transplant cultured liver and pancreatic cells to enhance their functions and extend patients' healthy lifespans.The turning point towards hair culturing came with the implementation of a new educational program called "Nurturing Standout Students." Traditionally, undergraduates would study basic academics in classrooms until their third year and join research laboratories in their fourth year for graduation research.Kasai: Without a solid foundation, starting research abruptly often leads to failure.Fukuda: Exactly. However, with the advent of Super Science High Schools, students with research experience even at the high school level are entering universities. So, we created a program allowing students to join research laboratories from any year if they wished. Utilizing this system, a freshman female student joined our lab.Since she was starting research from her first year, I thought it would be beneficial for her to engage in a new theme that she could delve into over the four years. During discussions with her and graduate students, we arrived at the idea of hair regenerative medicine.Kasai: Hair follicles, though small, are intricate organs. In that sense, hair regenerative medicine can be seen as an extension of liver and pancreatic regenerative medicine.Fukuda: We believed our strengths in safely and massively culturing cells could be applied here. For instance, the liver weighs about 1 kg and consists of approximately 250 billion liver cells. Regenerating liver function requires culturing a large number of cells, at least around 100 million.Kasai: Compared to the tens of thousands of hair follicles in the scalp, the number of liver cells is extraordinarily high.Fukuda: To cover a thinning area, you need a substantial number of grafts, around 1,000 to 2,000. Previously, the mainstream method in hair regenerative medicine was to create grafts manually, one by one. While this was acceptable at the research level, solving patients' issues required creating thousands of grafts at once with high post-transplantation hair growth efficiency. Therefore, we aimed to develop techniques to create many grafts at once with high growth efficiency after transplantation, leveraging our mass culturing technologies developed in liver and pancreatic regenerative medicine. This idea might have emerged because we are from the School of Science and Engineering.Kasai: I initially thought you were from the School of Medicine, but your expertise is in engineering (manufacturing technology), right?Fukuda: My specialty is designing processes by overseeing the entire manufacturing process. In the context of hair regenerative medicine, if thousands of grafts with excellent hair growth efficiency are needed simultaneously, I consider the optimal methods to achieve that.Kasai: This approach seems more practical and closer to effective hair culturing.Fukuda: Collaborating with your clinic has been beneficial as we understand the needs of patients suffering from hair loss and conduct research with feedback from the clinical field. Researchers in both medical and engineering fields aspire to work on solving problems for people and society. However, if we continue only basic research without considering the practical application, there is a risk of developing something that does not meet the needs of people and society. We must avoid the scenario where a significant breakthrough, painstakingly achieved, ends up being unwanted. Conducting research in an environment where we can hear the real needs and concerns of patients with hair loss is invaluable.Kasai: That’s why, despite the challenging field of regenerative medicine, you have achieved results that have garnered so much media attention.本を読みたい人 購入はこちらからです施術名:自毛植毛施術の説明:薄毛になりにくい後頭部・側頭部の毛根をに採取し、前頭部や頭頂部の薄くなった部分に移植する手術です。 移植した毛髪は薄毛になりにくい性質を保ったまま定着し、一生涯、生え変わり続けます。施術の副作用(リスク):施術に伴い、痛み、赤み・熱感、初期脱毛、切れ毛・抜け毛、つっぱり感、感覚の鈍さ、施術範囲のざ瘡の悪化、コメド、毛嚢炎、膨隆、色素沈着、点状出血、内出血、腫脹、灼熱感、瘢痕が生じることがあります。施術の価格:346,500円~1,890,000円■■ 湘南AGAクリニック■■■■新宿南口院■■<アクセス>〒151-0053 東京都渋谷区代々木2-2-13 新宿TRビル4階 ・JR新宿駅南口 徒歩4分 TEL:0120-669-220<営業時間> AM9:00~PM6:00 / 土日祝も対応!<休診日>月曜・木曜<ホームページはこちら>自毛植毛なら湘南AGAクリニック新宿南口院|薄毛でお悩みの方へJR新宿駅南口徒歩4分の湘南AGAクリニック新宿南口院では、AGAや薄毛のお悩みを解消し、育毛や発毛を確実に実現させます。自毛植毛症例数No.1の実績で、美しく自然な植毛をご提供しております。最先端の毛髪再生治療、ハイポサーマソルを日本で唯一導入し、豊富なメニューで皆様の薄毛のお悩みにお応えします。薄毛でお悩みの方は湘南AGAクリニック新宿南口院へお気軽に…s.s-b-c.net■■薄毛治療の症例写真はこちら■■詳細は画像をクリック!▼ 20%引き!お得なモニター募集!!笠井医師によるノンシェーブンFUE植毛!詳細は画像をクリック!↑抜毛症について知りたい方はぜひこの動画をご覧ください髪の神チャンネル★★★ おすすめ動画 ★★★【劇的変化】『AGAがかなり進行している人』も植毛でこんなに変わる!2000グラフトの自毛植毛についてAGA専門医が解説します!
