Cytokine Project Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that clarifies the roles cytokines play in infectious and inflammatory diseases.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating the cytokines that connect the body.
The Cytokine Project studies the roles cytokines play in the mechanisms by which infectious and inflammatory diseases arise.
The body maintains a stable state (homeostasis) through the interaction of many cells and tissues.
Many diseases arise not from a single organ but from abnormalities in multiple systems, such as the immune system, so understanding the cytokines that link them is important.
The lab's ultimate goal is to find molecules that could become targets for new drugs.
Key terms
- Cytokine
- A small protein released by cells. It sends signals to other cells and regulates immunity and inflammation
- Homeostasis
- The ability to keep conditions inside the body constant even when the surroundings change
- Inflammatory disease
- A disease caused when inflammation, which should protect the body, becomes excessive or lasts too long
NewsLab news
Associate Professor Saijo received the 13th Japanese Society for Immunology Award for Women Immunologists
A press release was published on a paper showing how the receptor Dcir suppresses the clearance of Aspergillus
ResearchResearch themes
The lab focuses on cytokines, which play a central role in maintaining the body's homeostasis. It aims to clarify the roles of cytokines in the process by which infectious and inflammatory diseases develop, and to find target molecules for new therapeutic drugs.
