・Investigation a novel renal function assessment using round cells as an indicator and to elucidate the mechanism of tubular lumen regeneration.
Since round tubular epithelial cells (round cells) are rarely found in urine and are neglected in daily clinical examinations, we aim to clarify the significance of their appearance and their relationship to disease. The round cells may be stem cells, and we hope to elucidate the process of tubular lumen regeneration and the cells from which they originate.
・Identification and functional analysis of specific microRNAs for early diagnosis of endmetrial cancer
We aim to identify microRNAs that can serve as biomarkers for early detection of endmetrial cancer and to detect them in blood samples. Furthermore, we will analyze the functions of microRNAs expressed in endmetrial cancer and clarify their molecular biological characteristics.
