Oxygen Medicine Lab (Affiliated Center for Innovative Applied Medicine)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates how cells adapt to low-oxygen environments.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how cells adapt to environments with scarce oxygen
The Oxygen Medicine lab studies how cells regulate gene activity and energy metabolism in hypoxic environments, where oxygen is insufficient.
In solid tumors, cells can survive even when abnormal blood vessels cause the oxygen supply to be interrupted or unstable.
Using genetically modified mice and biochemical methods, the lab investigates these mechanisms at the molecular level.
On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Division of Creation of New Medical Fields (Oxygen Medicine Core Center, Suzuki Lab)."
Key terms
- Hypoxia
- A condition in which the oxygen reaching cells or tissues is less than the amount needed
- Solid tumor
- A type of tumor that forms a mass in an organ or tissue. It does not include blood cancers such as leukemia
- Genetically modified mouse
- A mouse in which a specific gene has been disrupted or altered. It is used to study the role of that gene
- Energy metabolism
- The series of chemical reactions by which cells use nutrients to obtain the energy needed for their activities
ResearchResearch themes
The lab focuses on the fact that mammalian cells need oxygen to maintain their energy supply. Using genetically modified mice and biochemical methods, it investigates how gene activity and energy metabolism are regulated in hypoxic environments where oxygen is scarce.
