Outline of Final Research Achievements

By the disease with serious itches such as atopic dermatitis, stress and blood stasis are a trigger to turn the worse and intractable. Therefore, we demonstrated the relationship blood stasis, stress and worse of itch by making full use of the blood stasis model mice which developed originally. Furthermore, we identified the proteins which may be new treatment target factor for a patient with the itch sensitive skin (itchy skin), and found the seeds plant for searching antipruritic compounds.
