Morita, Hideaki; Matsumoto, Kenji
- Abstract
Hirohisa Saito, a pediatrician turned researcher, made significant contributions to the field of allergy and immunology. During his time at Johns Hopkins University, he developed a method for culturing human mast cells, a process that had taken 18 years to achieve. After returning to Japan, Saito continued his research on mast cells and made advancements in understanding their gene expression. He also conducted clinical research and wrote several randomized controlled studies. Saito's contributions include establishing a culture method for human mast cells, elucidating their gene expression, studying the function of IL-33, and validating a preventive strategy for atopic march.
