Biohistory Lab (Kuroda Lab)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses zebrafish to explore how cells assemble the body.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how cells build the body.
The Kuroda Lab studies how cells assemble “building materials” such as collagen to form the body.
The lab mainly uses zebrafish, a model organism, for its investigations.
It aims to uncover the basic principle by which cells build the shape of the body by precisely orienting structures of collagen fibers.
The JT Biohistory Research Hall, where the lab is located, is in charge of the cooperative chair “Biohistory” in the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University, and accepts graduate students.
Key terms
- Model organism
- An organism used as a research material. This lab mainly uses zebrafish.
- Collagen fibers
- Collagen, one of the “building materials” that assemble the body, in the form of fibers.
- Orientation
- The alignment of collagen fiber structures in a fixed direction.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how cells assemble “building materials” such as collagen to construct the body. Using mainly zebrafish, it captures the mechanisms of morphogenesis through real-time observation.
