A lab that explores newt limb regeneration through the behavior of cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating newt limb regeneration at the cellular level
Project Assistant Professor (Encouragement) Shota Shiga, who works in animal physiology, studies the dynamics and properties of the cells that function when a newt's limb regenerates.
Shiga is introduced in the faculty list of the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Tsukuba as a faculty member in the field of animal development and physiology.
The researcher directory lists a paper on a muscle cell line from adult Japanese fire-bellied newts, and a conference presentation on the characteristics and differentiation fates of dedifferentiated cells from cultured skeletal muscle.
Key terms
- Dedifferentiation
- A process in which a cell with a determined role, such as a muscle cell, returns to a more immature state
- Cell line
- A population of cells with uniform properties that has been made able to keep proliferating outside the body
- Metamorphosis
- A major change in body structure, such as from larva to adult
ResearchResearch themes
Project Assistant Professor (Encouragement) Shota Shiga specializes in animal physiology and studies the dynamics and properties of the cells involved in newt limb regeneration. The work listed in the researcher directory deals with cells derived from the muscle of adult Japanese fire-bellied newts.
