Tamaki involved in experiments focused on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, hyperplasia, regeneration and aging on the basis of neuromuscular physiology. Recently, he has mainly been involved in stem cell biology and therapy using skeletal muscle-derived multipotent stem cells. Currently, his study is extending the cross-talk among hypertrophy, hyperplasia, regeneration and aging and stem cells in the skeletal muscle.

A hybrid transplantation system using skeletal muscle-derived multipotent stem cells (Sk-MSCs) and bioabsorbable polyglyconate (PGA) felt was applied to coverage of the tracheal large-hole and the bronchial stump model, for the purpose of nerve-blood vessel supplementation to prevent tissue necrosis. Sk-MSCs were obtained from green-fluorescent transgenic (GFP-Tg) mouse muscles after 5 days of expansion culture. Experimental tracheal large-hole and bronchial stump following pneumonectomy were prepared using C57BL6N mice, and damaged portions were covered with PGA felt, which was then impregnated with expanded Sk-MSCs. At 2-10 weeks... view moreĀ»
