Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present research project is to establish a basal knowledge of novel non-invasive therapy for siRNA-induced wound healing using nano-size drug delivery systems (i.e. sonoporation techniques), which is designed to stimulate the collateral circulation in compromised tissues. This technique will also be applicable in not only rapid wound healing but also organ transplant and regenerative medicine. It is generally believed that this novel technique will contribute substantially to the extension of the national healthy life expectancy in Japan near future.
