Research Abstract |
Brief overview : This theme is focused on the point that'' podocyte has the same signal transduction as skeletal muscle to the extent of existing actin signal pathway''. The skeletal muscle tissue and renal podocyte have a common pathway, it means that podocyte damage can be healed as muscle skeletal damage though the accepted notion of nowadays is that'' podocyte damage is never recovered''. We made podocyte damage mice. We will try to cure their renal function by'' genetic manipulation nanocarrier'' which have been developed by ourselves.
