On February 5, 2026, a paper with Assistant Professor Junichi Yamamoto as the first author was published in the international journal Scientific Reports. This study elucidated part of the molecular mechanism underlying the synergistic effects of pomalidomide (marketed as Pomalyst) and panobinostat (marketed as Farydak), two drugs used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, and […]
On August 10, 2025, a paper with Chayanin Wuttinontananchai, a doctoral student who completed the requirements for the Ph.D. program in March 2025, as the first author has been published in the international journal Scientific Reports. This study employed an sgRNA library screening approach to investigate the mechanisms underlying alternative polyadenylation during RNA polymerase II-mediated
The results of a joint research with Profs. Kurumozaka and Kujirai of the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, the University of Tokyo and others have been published in the international journal Nature Communications. This paper presents a groundbreaking study in which RNA polymerase II complexes isolated by immunoprecipitation from a human cultured cell line were directly
The results of joint research with Dr. Noriyuki Azuma, Dr. Hiroshi Nishina, and colleagues at Tokyo Medical and Dental University and the National Center for Child Health and Development have been published in Genes to Cells, an international journal of molecular biology. This research focused on INTS15, a protein of unknown function that was speculated
Professor Yamaguchi was ranked 136th in the Best Molecular Biology Scientists in Japan (2024 Edition) published by Research.com. This appears to be a ranking of researchers based on the h-index and number of citations of published papers in the field of molecular biology.
The results of joint research with Dr. Noriyuki Azuma, Dr. Hiroshi Nishina, and colleagues at Tokyo Medical and Dental University and the National Center for Child Health and Development have been published in Human Molecular Genetics, an international journal of human genetics. This research focused on INTS15, a protein of unknown function that was speculated
A review article summarizing research results from the discovery of thalidomide’s intracellular target cereblon (CRBN) to the latest research results has been published in Chemical Society Reviews (IF=60.615). The first author of the article is Assistant Professor Yamamoto, co-authored with Dr. Handa and Dr. Ito of Tokyo Medical University. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2022/CS/D2CS00116K
The results of joint research with Professor Handa and Associate Professor Ito of Tokyo Medical University were published in the open access journal Communications Biology on November 11. This is the finding that pomalidomide, a small molecule compound used as a treatment for multiple myeloma, causes selective degradation of the disease-related protein PLZF, suggesting that
A review article summarizing the latest basic research and drug development related to CRBN, from the discovery of thalidomide’s intracellular target cereblon (CRBN) to drug discovery and development, has been published in Cell Chemical Biology.
The results of our joint research with Associate Professor Okuda and Professor Nishimura at Yokohama City University were published in Nucleic Acids Research on July 16. Mr. Suwa, a graduate student, is the co-first author. This is the first study to show that a naturally degenerate region common to three types of RNA polymerases interacts
