Kurasaki教授の研究室は、環境中の重金属やナノ粒子が生物に与える毒性メカニズムを解明することを主眼としています。特に、銀ナノ粒子や水銀、カドミウムなどの金属毒性が細胞に及える影響、ならびにセレンや金属チオネインといった内因性因子がそれらの毒性に対して果たす防御機構を分子レベルで解明しています。また、水質汚染の評価や重金属の除去技術の開発についても、持続可能な環境保全に貢献する研究を展開しています。

With the development of nanotechnology, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have become one of the most in-demand nanoparticles owing to their exponential number of uses in various sectors. The increased use of Ag-NPs-enhanced products may result in an increased level of toxicity affecting both the environment and living organisms. Several studies have used different model cell lines to exhibit the cytotoxicity of Ag-NPs, and their underlying molecular mechanisms. This review aimed to elucidate differ
Abstract To compare water quality in rivers of developed and developing countries, a study based on physicochemical parameters and dissolved metals levels was conducted. Water samples were collected from selected sites in Dhaka, Bangladesh; Hokkaido and Osaka, Japan; Erdenet, Mongolia and West Java, Indonesia. Analysis of least significant differences revealed that most water quality parameters were within comparable low levels in both developed and developing countries. The dissolved metals con
