FIELD OF INTEREST


Exosomes, which are produced by all cells, have been suggested to be involved in various diseases. In Hoshino laboratory, we hope to unravel the influence of exosomes in causing cancer progression, pregnancy complication, onset and etiology of autism, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. We look forward to working together to elucidate exosome driven disease pathology and develop novel treatments.
