Recent Research Output  [IF >10]

We study nano-pores (nuclear pore complex (NPC)) which implanted on the nuclear envelope (NE) as the headquarters' (nucleus) gatekeepers in our cells.

  • 2024-04 We published an invited paper in Cell Host Microbe         
  • 2023-01 We published a paper in Nano Letters
  • 2022-11 We published a paper in JEV
  • 2021-12 We published a paper in JEV
  • 2021-04 We published a paper in Autophagy
  • 2020-08 We published a paper in Nano Letters
  • 2020-06 We published a paper in Biomaterials

In Kanazawa Univ., our lab members also published the NPC studies in Mol. Cancer, ACS Nano, PNAS, Cell Death Dis., Cell Rep., Cell Chem Biol., EMBO Rep., Oncogene and etc.
