Veterinary Pathology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how diseases of the brain and muscles, as well as cancer, develop in animals by examining tissue.
AboutAbout the lab
Tracing why disease occurs, starting from the tissue
The Veterinary Pathology Lab studies how animal diseases develop (pathogenesis).
Alongside research, the lab teaches veterinary pathology and performs pathological diagnosis of animal cases referred by animal hospitals and other clinics.
Its main research themes are diseases of the nervous system and muscles in animals. By comparing diseases in humans and various animal species, the lab explores why diseases occur.
The lab also studies the diagnosis and pathogenesis of animal tumors and amyloidosis.
Key terms
- Pathogenesis
- The mechanisms by which a disease arises and progresses; how a disease comes about
- Pathological diagnosis
- Examining tissue taken from the body, for example under a microscope, to determine what disease is present
- Amyloidosis
- A general term for diseases in which proteins abnormally aggregate and accumulate in organs and other tissues

ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research on the diagnosis and pathogenesis of neurological and muscle diseases, tumors, and amyloidosis in animals. Using tissue from clinical cases, animal models, and cultured cells, it investigates how diseases develop at the morphological, genetic, and protein levels.
*Illustrative imageNeurological and Muscle Diseases in Animals
The lab compares neurological and muscle diseases that occur in humans and various animal species to explore why these diseases arise. It works to clarify the causes of brain aging related to dementia, neurodegenerative diseases, and muscle diseases.
*Illustrative imageTumors in Animals
The lab studies diagnostic methods for animal tumors, the mechanisms by which tumors form, and their subsequent clinical course. Using tissue and cultured cells, it examines canine lymphoma, brain tumors in animals, skin tumors, and more.
*Illustrative imageAmyloidosis in Animals
The lab investigates how amyloidosis, in which proteins abnormally aggregate and accumulate, develops in animals, and identifies the proteins that cause it. It also compares the properties of the deposited proteins and their gene sequences.
