Outline of research activities
There are many diseases associated with hard tissue, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and periodontal disease, and their patients have increased with the advent of an aging society. In this laboratory, for the treatment of these diseases, we are developing regenerative research on hard tissue (bone, cartilage, teeth) by setting three keyword; growth factors, extracellular microenvironment and stem cell.
- Desired cooperation
-
- Search of useful substances such as osteoporosis preventive drug.
- Development of new biomaterials.
