• Molecular Regulation of Stem Cells

  Keyword： Stem Cell Biology, Neural Stem Cell, Hematopoietic Stem Cell, Cancer Stem Cell
  State： International Collaboration
  Summary： Tetsuya Taga's research has been conducted to elucidate the mechanisms by which stem cells are regulated. The major focus is on neural stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, and cancer stem cells. The research is aimed to understand development, maintenance, and regeneration of the central nervous system and the hematopoietic system, and to obtain a clue to tackle the problem of cancer recurrence. Particular attention is given to cell-external cues (such as cytokines) and cell-intrinsic programs (including chromatin modification), taking cross-interactions of transcriptional regulatory signals into consideration.
