Clarification of the molecular mechanisms that negatively regulate inflammatory responses
The inflammatory response is the important host defense mechanism. However, an excessive inflammation may cause autoimmune or chronic inflammatory diseases. By analyzing how LIM protein family regulates inflammation, we will identify the molecules that have essential roles in the negative regulation of the inflammatory response and delineate a whole picture of this regulatory mechanism.
