Stem cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate, playing a crucial role in tissue development, maintenance, and regeneration. They produce functional cells necessary for these processes and contribute to the repair of damaged tissues. The division and differentiation of stem cells are essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and are regulated by intrinsic stem cell programs as well as changes in the microenvironment. Our research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms that regulate stem cell function, including intracellular and intercellular signaling pathways, key transcription factors, and metabolic changes within stem cells.
