Overview

Fujio Murakami is affiliated with Osaka University in Japan and focuses primarily on neuroscience. Their research spans several interconnected fields, notably cellular and molecular neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, molecular biology, and oncology. This multidisciplinary reach reflects the broad scope of their scientific investigations.

The main topics addressed in Murakami's work include:

  • Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms
  • Neuroscience and neuropharmacology research
  • Axon guidance and neuronal signaling
  • RNA research and splicing
  • Chemokine receptors and signaling

Murakami has contributed to the understanding of neural development and migration, especially through studies on cortical interneurons and pontine neuronal formation. Notable recent publications include:

  • "PAK3 controls the tangential to radial migration switch of cortical interneurons by coordinating changes in cell shape and polarity," 2020, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • "PAK3 activation promotes the tangential to radial migration switch of cortical interneurons by increasing leading process dynamics and disrupting cell polarity," 2024, Molecular Psychiatry
  • "Chemokine receptor CXCR7 non-cell-autonomously controls pontine neuronal migration and nucleus formation," 2020, Scientific Reports

Frequent collaborators with Murakami include Lucie Viou, Pierre Launay, Véronique Rousseau, Justine Masson, and Clarisse Pace, each having co-authored multiple studies. This network of coauthors highlights a consistent collaborative approach within their research projects.

The publications are distributed across respected venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Molecular Psychiatry
  • Scientific Reports

Murakami's scholarly output reveals a focus on molecular processes underlying neuronal migration dynamics, cell polarity, and receptor signaling pathways involved in brain development. The combination of developmental neuroscience and molecular techniques underscores their contribution to understanding the cellular basis of neural circuit formation and function.
