AboutAbout the lab
Studying stem cells and regenerative medicine
The Stem Cell Medicine Lab, part of the Division of Cell Function Regulation at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation, takes stem cells and regenerative medicine as its research themes.
According to the researcher profile, the generation of human induced intestinal progenitor cells with medical applications is listed as research with keywords such as direct reprogramming.
Recent papers also report research on converting the fate of liver and blood vessel cells.
Key terms
- Direct reprogramming
- A technique that forces specific transcription factors to act, converting one type of somatic cell into another type of cell
ResearchResearch themes
The lab takes stem cells and regenerative medicine as its research themes. The researcher profile and recent papers indicate research on converting cells into other cell types through methods such as direct reprogramming.
*Illustrative imageGeneration of Human Induced Intestinal Progenitor Cells
The lab studies the generation of human induced intestinal progenitor cells that can be used in medicine, with the keywords regenerative medicine, direct reprogramming, and intestinal progenitor cells.
*Illustrative imageConversion of Hepatocytes into Intestinal Cells
A 2024 paper reported that hepatocytes, which revert to a state resembling progenitor cells when cultured, have the capacity to become intestinal epithelial cells.
*Illustrative imageEfficient Induction of Human Liver Progenitor Cells
A 2025 paper reported that when liver progenitor cells are generated directly from endothelial cells of the human umbilical vein, activating Wnt signaling increases efficiency.
