Research Theme
Neural regulation of immune cell dynamics in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation

As the proverb "Illness starts in mind" says, it has long been proposed that various aspects of inflammatory immune responses are regulated by the nervous system. However, little is known about the molecular basis by which neuronal inputs are converted to the outputs from the immune system. This research project aims at clarifying mechanisms for neuronal regulation of immune cell dynamics underlying chronic inflammation. This would lead to a novel therapeutic approach for chronic inflammatory diseases.
