Research Unit of Aderans which strives for solving a variety of problems about your hair

We established the "Department of Regenerative Dermatology (Aderans)" of Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine in April, 2006.
We strive for research together with Professor Satoshi Itami who is a leading authority on hair science in Japan and other professionals with the aim of providing a novel treatment for people suffering from thinning hair.
Professor Itami and Dr. Inui took part in the development of "Clinical Practice Guideline for Androgenic Alopecia" and the "Clinical Practice Guideline for Alopecia Areata" published by the Japanese Dermatological Association in 2010 as members of the Guideline Development Committee. These guidelines are the Japan's first guidelines developed in order for dermatologists to perform appropriate treatment for hair loss and thinning.

We perform joint research on scalp care science which is a new scientific field on hair together with Professor Hiromi Sanada of the Department of Gerontological Nursing/Wound Care Management, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo.
Professor Sanada, a leading authority of wound care nursing in Japam, especially paid attention to scalp which is a kind of skin while she was engaged in research on wound care nursing and had valuable findings on skin care accumulated through research on wound care nursing. We thought that the findings she had shown might be useful for scalp care and started joint research with her.
