Research Abstract |
Endoplasmic reticylum (ER) stress has actively been studied at the intracellular level so far. In this research, the purpose is to study the role of ER stress response at the intercellular level and in vivo level. By using in vivo stress imaging and gene targeting technologies, we found that ER stress responsive molecules are essential for the function of the placenta, the salivary gland, and the pancreas. Especially we performed detail investigation for activation of vascular endothelial growth factor in the placenta.
