分子病理学

概要

蛋白質、核酸に次ぐ第三の生命鎖である糖鎖は、細胞間コミュニケーションの担い手として様々な役割を演じています。私達の188bet体育_188bet备用网址室では疾患の病態形成における糖鎖の発現意義を明らかにするため、形態学、分子生物学、生化学、発生工学などの種々な技術を駆使して188bet体育_188bet备用网址を行っています。そして、最終的には疾患メカニズムの解明や新たな診断法、治療法の開発へと展開させたいと考えています。

188bet体育_188bet备用网址テーマ

1) 胃腺粘液糖鎖による胃癌発生の制御機構
2) 腫瘍における糖鎖並びに糖鎖関連分子の発現解析とその臨床病理学的意義
