In a tumor microenvironment, heterogeneous oxygen concentration is observed due to hyperproliferation of the cells and formation of immature vascular network. Such temporal and spatial variations of oxygen concentration activate migration of cancer cells and angiogenesis by vascular endothelial cells, leading to cancer progression and metastasis. We elucidate oxygen-dependent cellular dynamics and characteristics, e.g., cancer cell migration and vascular endothelial permeability, and investigate to control them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"photo\">\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n<ul class=\"single\">\r\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/jpn\/wp-content\/themes\/ifs\/images\/research\/division\/03_img\/funamoto2.jpg\" \/><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n<ul class=\"sdgs\">\r\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/jpn\/wp-content\/themes\/ifs\/images\/research\/sdgs_icon_e\/sdgs-03.jpg\" \/><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"contents\">\r\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\r\n<h4>Hemodynamic analysis by integration of medical measurement and numerical simulation<\/h4>\r\n<div>Accurate diagnosis of circulatory diseases is a critical issue to realize a healthy society. Even a state-of-the-art medical equipment is not sufficient to measure the complete information on hemodynamics. The fastest supercomputer may perform an ultra-high speed computation (real-time computation), but is inherently incapable to reproduce the real blood flows due to the lack of the exact computational condition for the relevant flows.
