AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how stem cells are maintained and differentiate
The lab of Project Assistant Professor Fumiaki Maruo studies how stem cells are maintained, proliferate, and differentiate.
It uses germline stem cells from the process of egg formation in Drosophila as an experimental material.
It also uses neural stem cells in the regenerating retina of newts and undifferentiated germ cells in the developing gonads.
The lab investigates these questions with methods from genetics, immunology, and molecular biology.
Key terms
- Stem cell
- A cell that can proliferate while maintaining itself and differentiate into many types of cells
- Differentiation
- The process by which a cell changes into a specific type of cell with a particular function
- Germline stem cell
- A stem cell that produces the germ cells that give rise to eggs or sperm
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the mechanisms by which stem cells are maintained, proliferate, and differentiate. Using Drosophila and newts, it analyzes them with methods from genetics, immunology, and molecular biology.
