Understanding the nature of stem cells and controlling their fate

【Supercategory：4. Techtextiles Subcategory：4.7 For medical and healthcare】

Regenerative medicine using iPS cells is expected to serve as a novel approach for curing disease. My lab is focusing on germline stem (GS) cells, tissue‐specific stem cells in testis. Although GS cells have already committed to germ cell lineage, they also have pluripotency potential and often de‐differentiate into multipotent GS (mGS) cells that possess pluripotency like iPS cells. The goal of our research is to understand the unique nature of GS/mGS cells and control their fate.
