Research Abstract |
The main subject of this study is to reveal the cellular dynamics in various kinds of tissues and organs in vivo, by using advanced imaging techniques, especially focusing on the dynamic phenomenon within bone marrow cavity. By improving the optical technology, we developed an intravital bone imaging system that enabled elucidation of control mechanisms for dynamic behaviors of bone-resorbing osteoclasts in vivo. We also developed novel anti-bone resorptive treatments based on our findings.
