Welcome to Yuzaki Lab

・Yuzaki Laboratory has been relocated to the Center for Human biology - Microbiota - Quantum Computational Research (Keio University)WPI-Bio2Q.。

In addition to the central nervous system、focusing on synaptic formation mechanisms in the peripheral, autonomic and enteric nervous system、we aim to clarify the linkage between the nervous system and multiple organs, and the pathology caused by its failure, and to develop new treatments.。

Kainate receptors act as synaptogenic molecules

kainate-type glutamate receptor (KAR)A paper on the function of synapse formation is available online.became。KAR is、through ionotropic and metabotropic effects.、Involved in various neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders。However、Compared to AMPA-type and NMDA-type glutamate receptors,、The biological properties of KARs remain unclear in many ways。In this research、K.A.R.、Completely separate from ion channels and metabotropic effects、We revealed that it acts as a synapse organizer that creates synapses themselves.。In joint research with the Juan Lerma laboratory in Spain.、Associate Professor Kakegawa and Ana Paternain are first authors。For Press releaseClick here. 。
