Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tomohisa Mori"
- Recent research by Tomohisa Mori focuses on the interactions between neurobiology and immunology, particularly in the context of chronic pain and cancer. Specific studies investigate the role of hypothalamic microglia in cancer cachexia and the influence of stress-related neurons on tumor progression.
- Mori's studies utilize pharmacogenetic techniques to explore how modulation of neuronal activity, particularly dopamine and opioid receptors, can affect pain relief and immune responses in various pathological conditions, including neuropathic pain and tumor immunity.
- His work also delves into understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying pain modulation, such as the involvement of G-protein-coupled receptors and microRNA expression in pain pathways, contributing to the development of potential therapeutic strategies for pain management and cancer treatment.
