研究実績の概要 |
We announced mechanical transmission and PREST in CNS in 2021 (Ucar et al., Nature, 2021). I am studying the underlying mechanisms of PREST and we published a review article to underline its physiological importance for brain function and memory. Recently I found that mechanical stimulation activates intracellular signaling pathways which lead to synaptic vesicle regulation during PREST. Here, synaptic vesicle clusters are mobilized upon mechanical stimulation and this is estimated to be regulated by a kinase pathway that I am working on.

理由
I was able to conlude that presynaptic terminal responds to mechanical stimulation and made a publication in Nature (Ucar et al. Nature 2021) and described PREST (pressure sensation and transduction) mechanism. Now I am studying underlying mechanisms for which I have promising data.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
Now I am studying underlying mechanisms of PREST for which I have promising data. I will continue testing new molecular probes to understand the involvement of molecules for the regulation and function of PREST and their regulation by the intracellular kinases by using two-photon microscopy.
