Using skin stem cells as a model, our research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of skin regeneration, aging, and disease. Our research goal is to reveal the drivers and effectors of stem cell dysfunction. Targeting these factors may prevent or cure diseases at the stem cell level, with implications for applications in regenerative therapy and future treatments of cancer, aging, and other disorders.
In the field of stem cell research, new concepts and cutting-edge technologies are being updated, and interdisciplinary research is also active. This research is also based on collaborative research in a new field, and although there are some difficulties, such as establishing experimental systems, I hope to find some interesting phenomena.
