Research interest
Research focused on Zymosan and Behavioural despair test, with related work in Microglia, Tail suspension test, Nasal administration. Notable publications include 'Intranasal Monophosphoryl Lipid a Administration Ameliorates depression-like Behavior in Chronically Stressed Mice Through Stimulation of Microglia', 'Microglial stimulation triggered by intranasal lipopolysaccharide administration produces antidepressant-like effect through ERK1/2-mediated BDNF synthesis in the hippocampus', and 'Zymosan A produces a rapid and sustained antidepressant effect in chronically stressed mice by stimulating hippocampal microglia'.
Immunization with a low dose of zymosan A confers resistance to depression-like behavior and neuroinflammatory responses in chronically stressed mice
