Summary by Gerhard Fasol
Summary: solving the shortage of organ donors and immune rejection with stem cells
There are far more patients requiring organ transplants than organ donations. Transplanted organs are rejected by the recipient’s immune system requiring life-long immune suppression. Professor Nakauchi explains his path towards growing organs based on a patient’s stem cells injected into an animal’s embryo, which then is implanted into a host animal, and when fully grown this organ is transplanted back into the patient. While this long term target is still very difficult and far in the future, Professor Nakauchi and his teams at Tokyo University and Stanford University have solved sever

After earning medical degree from Yokohama City University School of Medicine and a PhD in immunology from the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine, I traveled to Stanford to complete my postdoctoral training in the laboratory of the late Prof. Leonard Herzenberg. While there, I isolated CD8 genes that encode proteins critically important for immune cells to recognize virus-infected and cancer cells.
After returning to Japan, I started working on hematopoietic stem cells in my laboratory at the RIKEN Life Science Research Center. In 1994, I became Professor of Immunology at the University of Tsukuba, where I demonstrated that a single hematopoietic stem cell could reconstitute the entire hematopoietic system—a definitive experimental proof of its “stemness.”
Since April 2002, I have been a Professor of Stem Cell Therapy in the Institute of Medical Science at The University of Tokyo (IMSUT). In 2008, I was appointed Director of the newly established Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at IMSUT. I returned to Stanford University in 2014 as Professor o
