Student life2021.02.01Shoji SaitoMy research interest is to elucidate the pathophysiology of cerebral vascular disease and to establish a novel treatment. I generate genetically modified model mice for diseases using transgenic mice and viral vectors and analyze them. -
Student life2021.02.01Ramil GabdulkhaevResearch in our lab is concentrated around the pathology of the diseases of the human nervous system. The area is quite broad and includes a study of neurodegenerative diseases, neoplastic processes, various malformations, and autoimmune diseases, to name a few. My current research interest is around neuropathology of REM sleep behavior disorder (or RBD). -

Female Scientists2018.02.01Yuriko IwakuraIn the central nervous system, "neurotransmitters" are vital for normal transmission, and so are "neurotrophic factors" for regulating the survival and growth of neurons. Recent studies show that they don't only independently but mutually regulate one another by means of "cross talk".
