Research Theme
Investigation of pathological implications of guidance molecules in chronic inflammation.
Semaphorins exerts multiple functions in neuronal development, neurodegeneration, vasculogenesis, tumorigenesis,bone homeostasis, and immune-regulation. In particular, we have determined critical roles of semaphorins in the last couple of years. In this study, we tried to determine the pathological implications of semaphorins and their related molecules in chronic inflammation, thereby providing useful insights into manipulation of human disorders.
