Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Junko Iijima"
- Junko Iijima's research primarily focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms underlying various diseases, with significant emphasis on Alzheimer's disease, spontaneous intracranial hypotension, and cancer-related alterations in cellular morphology and signaling pathways.
- Recent studies demonstrate the critical role of O-GalNAc glycosylation in the intracellular trafficking of amyloid precursor proteins and their relationship with Alzheimer’s pathology, alongside identifying total transferrin in cerebrospinal fluid as a potential biomarker for spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
- Iijima's earlier work also investigates the molecular aspects of DNA repair, cellular immune responses, and the complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment, contributing to insights on cancer proliferation and metastasis.
