Research theme
The objectives of our department are to disclose the pathology of disorders in mesenchymal tissues at the molecular level and to develop new therapeutic modalities by understanding physiological growth and differentiation of mesenchymal cells. Following projects are currently undertaken.
1. Research on the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues.
We have analyzed on the growth and differentiation property of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) that exist among bone marrow stromal cells and performed a clinical trial of cell therapy for the condition know as osteonecrosis.
2. Research on the transformation of mesenchymal cells
Sarcomas are malignant tumors derived from mesenchymal tissues. We have analyzed the genomic and epigenomic mechanisms of the development of sarcomas using MSC and pluripotent stem cells (PSC).
