cutting-edge field of stem cell and regenerative biology.
Welcome to the KAIST Graduate School of Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology.
Stem cells possess self-renewal and differentiation capabilities, playing a crucial role in tissue development, maintenance, and regeneration. They generate functional cells within tissues and contribute to the repair of damaged organs. The division and differentiation of stem cells are essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and are regulated by intrinsic cellular programs as well as microenvironmental factors within tissues.
Organ formation during embryonic development occurs through tightly regulated division and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. The maintenance and regeneration of these organs are mediated by tissue-specific adult stem cells. By elucidating the functions and regulatory mechanisms of stem cells at each developmental stage, we can gain deeper insights into organogenesis and disease progression.
Tissue engineering is an advanced technology that integrates cells, biomaterials, and chemical and physical factors to construct functional tissues that closely resemble natural biological structures. Stem cells with differentiation potential, including adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), can be utilized for this purpose. Structures derived from these stem cells that exhibit organ-like characteristics are known as organoids.
Stem Cell and regenerative biology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates cell biology, developmental biology, genomics, transcriptomics, tissue engineering, epigenetics, materials science, and molecular genetics. We actively incorporate cutting-edge engineering technologies into stem cell research to drive groundbreaking discoveries aimed at overcoming aging-related conditions, incurable diseases, and degenerative disorders.
