    Overview of research:
    Dendritic cells, monocytes and macrophages belong to mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). These cells regulate immune response against pathogen and tissue hemostasis. Our group investigate the regulation of dendritic cell and macrophage development and tissue homeostasis.
