Stem Cell Biology & Cell Based Medicine(2017/10~2022/9)
Stem cells possess both self-renewal and differentiation potential. Organoids, in which stem cells self-organize to reproduce tissue structure and function, are useful tools for elucidating disease mechanisms and developing new treatments. We have been engaged in the development of organoid culture technology and the application research of various evaluation models.
