Abstract
We applied for funding in the form of Strategic Research Foundation Grant-aided Project for Private Universities from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, to support our project regarding intractable itch, and were awarded funds in 2013. This project will be financially supported for 5 years. To progress in this project, we held the 1st and 2nd Workshops and the 1st Symposium from 2013 to 2014 in fine meeting places of Juntendo University. In this “What’s New from Juntendo University, Tokyo”, we report selected aspects of the 1st Symposium and the 2nd Workshop and advances in the field of itch research.
