Shinobu Saijo – Molecular Mechanisms of the inflammatory responses through C-type lectins

Researcher

Research Theme
Molecular Mechanisms of the inflammatory responses through C-type lectins

C-type lectins induce a variety of biological activities including production of inflammatory mediators and ihhibitory signal transductions. In this project, to elucidate the mechanisms of inflammation, I focus on the C-type lectin family, their lignads and their signaling, and study how they are involved in the responses.
