Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several basic experiments are performed in order to explore histopathologic and molecular mechanism of acute otitis media. We focused on HB-EGF, a growth factor that showed strong effect on middle ear mucosal growth. In this experiments we showed dominant downstream signaling pathways on HB-EGF action. Also we showed that HB-EGF played a role on mucosal growth induced by bacterial infection.
