Development of a new strategy targeting innate immunity for treatment of intestinal immune disorders

Research Project Outline

Disregulated activity of innate immunity causes several immune disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Mucosal immunity is an unique system, and there exist peculiar subsets of innate immune cells, which regulate intestinal homeostasis. In this project, we will reveal the regulatory mechanism for mucosal immune responses by innate immunity, and will develop a new strategy to treat intestinal immune disorders.
