A lab that investigates cerebrovascular disease such as stroke through both basic and clinical research.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mechanisms of cerebrovascular disease through both basic and clinical research
The Disease Analysis Science Division is a division in the Department of Advanced Cohort Research at the Center for Cohort Study, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, and is headed by Professor Ago.
According to Prof. Ago's researcher information, the research covers the mechanisms by which cerebrovascular disease, dementia, epilepsy, and headache occur, as well as tissue repair and functional recovery after brain injury.
Prof. Ago also conducts stroke database research in collaboration with the main facilities in Fukuoka Prefecture that treat the acute phase of cerebrovascular disease.
The Center for Cohort Study is a center that has carried out cohort studies for many years.
The same center also has other divisions and departments.
Key terms
- Cohort study
- An epidemiological method that follows a population over a long period to investigate the causes and treatments of disease
- Neurovascular unit
- A term for the interaction between blood vessels and neurons/glia at the level of microvessels
- Reactive oxygen species
- Molecules that are produced and eliminated by mechanisms in the body; their involvement in the onset of cardiovascular disease is being studied
ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Ago investigates the mechanisms by which cerebrovascular disease, dementia, epilepsy, headache, and cardiovascular disease occur, as well as repair after brain injury. The professor conducts both basic and clinical research.

Focusing on the interaction between blood vessels and neurons/glia (the neurovascular unit), Prof. Ago investigates the mechanisms by which cerebrovascular disease, dementia, epilepsy, and headache develop, as well as the mechanisms of tissue repair and functional recovery after brain injury. Prof. Ago also studies how reactive oxygen species are produced and eliminated in the body, and the mechanisms that control the onset of the cardiovascular disease that results from them.
*Illustrative imageStroke Database and Clinical Research
Prof. Ago conducts stroke database research (the Fukuoka Stroke Registry) in collaboration with major facilities in Fukuoka Prefecture. In addition to epidemiological studies of cerebrovascular disease, the lab puts effort into collecting genomes and plasma to search for related genes and biomarkers, and into identifying clinical factors that may determine functional outcome.
