Junko Sasaki – Regulation of Chronic Inflammation by control of Macrophage activation and polarization

Researcher

Junko Sasaki
Lecturer, Department of Medical Biology, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine
Research Theme
Regulation of Chronic Inflammation by control of Macrophage activation and polarization

Macrophages have been known to have a variety of populations and to participate in inflammation from start to finish. This study aims to find the cellular factors that control the activation and polarization of macrophages and to specify the key macrophages that cause chronic inflammation by using the murine models.
