Research by past professors
Morio Iinuma, Professor(1956〜1985)
He developed an early interest in histochemistry and was a pioneer in the field.
He was involved in basic research on various histochemistry and histochemistry, including research on histochemical detection methods for phosphatase, and wrote "Histochemical Research Methods" in 1955.
In the 1960s, he conducted a series of studies on histochemical changes in the mouse vaginal epithelium during the sexual cycle, and clarified the relationship between changes in the amount of glycogen in the vaginal epithelium and the sexual cycle. tissue searches were extended to microstructural studies at the electron microscope level.

Eizo Aikawa, Professor(1988〜2001)
We have studied coronary artery development and patterning, histochemical studies of steroid sulfatase (STS), and the morphology and function of FGP cells (Mato cells) in the microvascular wall of the cerebral cortex.
In the development of coronary arteries, we studied the genes for branching anomaly in mice. We have developed a lineage in which single coronary arteries, posterior coronary artery malformations, and high branching of coronary arteries occur frequently, and investigated the genetic relationship between the two.
In addition, anti-STS (arylsulfatase C) studies were conducted using histochemical methods at the electron microscopic level to clarify the distribution of enzyme activity in each organ.
Studies of cortical microtubule wall FGP cells have been conducted in collaboration with Professor Masao Mato of Jichi Medical University and his colleagues.
