Stuff Scientists Masayuki Miura, Ph. D., Professor Fumiaki Obata, Ph. D., Assistant Professor Soshiro Kashio, Ph. D., Assistant Professor Natsuki Shinoda, Assistant Professor Research Focus Programmed cell death functions in dynamic tissue formation or remodeling. We have revealed that in the embryonic development, or aging process, caspases are activated by physiological stresses and exert regulatory functions. We aim to reveal how cell society is constructed and maintained during development, growth, regeneration and aging process with a particular focus on understanding the regulatory mechanisms and functions of cell death. We believe that our research would stimulate and encourage students and researchers to have the breadth of vision for life science research and provide new insights into the molecular logic underlying the formation and maintenance of cell society.

Research Topics 1. Regulation and function of cell death in development, growth, regeneration and aging 2. Regulation of cell number and size of tissue via programmed cell death mechanism 3. Roles of dying cells as a signal center 4. Metabolic regulation of tissue regeneration and aging 5.
