Stem Cell and Differentiation Research

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.

Stem Cells
Stem cells possess self-renewal and differentiation capabilities, enabling them to generate functional cells during tissue development, maintenance, and regeneration while contributing to the repair of damaged tissues.
Differentiation Research
The division and differentiation of stem cells are vital for maintaining tissue homeostasis and are regulated by intrinsic stem cell programs and changes in the surrounding microenvironment.
Research
We conduct studies to understand the mechanisms that regulate stem cell function, including intracellular and intercellular signaling pathways, the roles of key transcription factors, and metabolic changes within stem cells.
