Biological Function Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates muscle changes in cancer patients and older adults from both clinical and basic research perspectives.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying muscles and motor function from clinical and basic perspectives.
The Biological Function Science Lab is part of the Department of Integrated Health Sciences at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, and was established with the 2020 academic year reorganization.
The clinical group conducts prospective cohort studies of sarcopenia in cancer patients, as well as clinical research on motor function and gait analysis in children and older adults.
The basic research group conducts basic research on the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy caused by various factors, including cancer cachexia, and on the mechanisms of muscle regeneration after muscle injury.
In addition to collaborations between the two groups, the lab also conducts research in cooperation with labs in rehabilitation and information science (the information on the lab's website dates from around 2020).
Key terms
- Sarcopenia
- A condition in which muscle mass and strength decline
- Prospective cohort study
- A research method in which a group of people to be studied is defined and then followed over time, with their progress recorded
- Cancer cachexia
- A condition in which body weight and muscle are lost in association with cancer
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out clinical research on cancer patients, children, and older adults, as well as basic research on the mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy and regeneration. Two research groups, one clinical and one basic, each approach the research from their own side.
