Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology conducts basic research on the regulatory mechanisms underlying various cellular responses, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In addition, we analyze various pathological conditions—including cancer, inflammation, obesity, muscle atrophy, central nervous system disorders, and brain injury—from the molecular to the organismal level. By elucidating the relationship between these pathological conditions and aging, we aim to establish new therapeutic agents, treatment strategies, and methods for extending healthy life expectancy.
