Research Subjects
  • Research on male infertility, especially on the mechanism of proliferation, differentiation and death of reproductive cells
Research Focus By introducing the latest techniques using light and electron microscopy, our laboratory aims to contribute to medicine and healthcare through the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that control the development and differentiation of several types of cells, tissues and organs. We are particularly interested in the molecular mechanism of proliferation, growth and differentiation of reproductive cells or organs involved in male infertility, especially in the mechanical control of cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion and tissue architecture, mainly using mouse disease models.
