Research results showing that chondroitin sulfate is important for the formation of the "maxillofacial" and "suppleness of the skin"
It has long been pointed out that chondroitin sulfate is important for the formation of cartilage and bones of the hands and feet. We recently learned that chondroitin sulfate is important for the formation of the maxillofacial and head bones and the flexibility of the skin, and that it is involved in the expression and correct arrangement of collagen that supports these tissues and organs. We were the first in the world to discover that it is extremely important for the formation of external organizations. Detail isherePlease refer to the.

"Thinking broadly from the cell biology and thinking about medicine"
"Thinking broadly from the latest cell biology and thinking about medicine"
Molecular biology and cell biology are making explosive progress every day in medicine, and interest in life sciences is endless. Based on these findings, we will consider the mechanism of the human body and develop the ability to grasp the latest technologies in drug discovery and medicine.
Specializes in molecular cell biology (neuroscience/molecular development). In addition to exploring the molecular mechanism of normal development, we promote research to lead to therapeutic recovery from neurological diseases.

Developed an artificial synapse connector that reconnects broken neural circuits-A new way to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders caused by synaptic abnormalities-
published in "Science"
Hiroyuki Sasakura, Assistant Professor of Biology, Aichi Medical University, Professor Tsunesei Takeuchi, and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Oxford University, UK, and MRC Institute for Molecular Biology are led by Professor Tsusuke Yuzuzaki, Department of Physiology, Keio University School of Medicine. In the international collaborative research team, we succeeded for the first time in the world in developing an artificial protein (synaptic connector) that can artificially form synapses, which are the joints between nerve cells, and quickly reconnect broken neural circuits. .. Using this synaptic connector, we succeeded in leading significant functional improvement and recovery in model animals of cerebellar ataxia, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal cord injury.
