Rate My Professor Go Nagamatsu

His research interests center on germ cells within the broader field of developmental biology. Key publications include "The intrinsic impact of mechanical stress on the maintenance of oocyte dormancy" (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2026), "Generation of functional oocytes from male mice in vitro" (Nature, 2023), "Generation of ovarian follicles from mouse pluripotent stem cells" (Science, 2021), "Regulation of primordial follicle formation, dormancy, and activation in mice" (The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2021), "Hypoxia induces the dormant state in oocytes through expression of Foxo3" (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019), and "Mechanical stress accompanied with nuclear rotation is involved in the dormant state of mouse oocytes" (Science Advances, 2019). He has also contributed to work on "Reconstitution in vitro of the entire cycle of the mouse female germ line" (Nature, 2016) and numerous other studies on oocyte aging, stem cells, and related topics, with over 40 papers listed on academic platforms. Nagamatsu participates in multiple research projects funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, including grants on the mechanisms of primordial follicle dormancy, quality control of oocytes, and preservation of animal genetic resources. His work appears in high-impact journals and addresses fundamental questions in reproductive biology and biotechnology at the University of Yamanashi.
