Elucidation of the mechanism of systemic regulation by bone and the role of oral function in systemic health

Researcher Mari SATOAssociate Professor

1) Bone-buried osteocytes regulate primary lymphoid organs and fat metabolism. However mechanism is not known. We aim to unveil the new role of the bone in the whole body homeostasis through the study of bone-buried osteocytes.
2)Oral environment including masticatory function and saliva buffer capacity is tied to the systemic health. We aim to reveal the new role of oral function in the systemic health through molecular biological analysis.
