Outline of Final Research Achievements

It was published in a Journal of PLOS ONE in June 2016 that novel mechanisms of compromised lymphatic endothelial cell homeostasis in obesity.　This resulted in obesity supporting the mechanisms responsible for the onset of lymphoedema.
From the research results, I was able to teach proper exercise methods and daily life guidance for the patients and therapist.
