Aiming to clarify the unknown physiological function of acetylcholine

  1. Research regarding the physiological role of the non-neurotic cholinergic system
    Acetylcholine is known as a neurotransmitter, but lately it has been revealed to also function as an intercellular regulator. Focusing primarily on the cholinergic system of the lymphocyte system, we are considering its application for the development of immunomodulators with new action mechanisms.
  2. Search for a clarify the role of ADP-ribosylated protein
    Focusing on signal transduction and cell function related to ADP-ribosylation, one of the post-translational modifications of proteins, our ultimate goal is to connect this to clinical applications.
