Masayasu Kojima - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Masayasu Kojima is affiliated with the Division of Molecular Genetics at the Institute of Life Science, Kurume University, located in Fukuoka, Japan. His research primarily focuses on the regulation and function of ghrelin, a hormone that plays significant roles in various physiological processes.

Research Contributions

Masayasu Kojima has made substantial contributions to the field of genetics and endocrinology, particularly in understanding the roles of ghrelin. His work spans various aspects of ghrelin regulation, including its impact on offspring growth, exercise motivation, thermoregulation, and vascular repair in diabetes. He has also explored the polyol pathway as a glucose sensor in different organisms and characterized peptides in Caenorhabditis elegans.
