研究の応用・展望
- Our lab aims to provide a next generation; stem cell-based therapy to the patients. For this purpose,
we study how adult stem cells could function in our body. Our lab has also been elucidating how diseases affect stem cell function.
Now that we understand the problem, we are trying to fix with stem cells using extracellular vesicles. For further read:
