| Living
organisms consist of numerous different types of cells. The cells must
be hierarchically organized into tissues, organs and organs systems. In
order to function as an organism, the extracellular matrix surrounds
the cells and functions as the architecture of the body, such as in
bone, cartilage skin and so on. However, recent advances in the fields
of molecular biology, cell biology, and developmental biology have
shown that the molecules in the extracellular matrix are actively
involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, induction
and inhibition of angiogenesis. The goal of our research is to
understand the roles of the molecules in the extracellular matrix,
especially collagen.
| The main projects are; | | 1) |
Transcriptional regulation of collagen genes | | 2) | Elucidating the function of collagen molecules and their derived peptides | | 3) | Basic research for elucidating the mechanism of fibrosis and its application for therapy |
