Object of Our Research
We are investigating to clarify the mechanism of development and regeneration of livers, especially the nature of hepatic stem/progenitor cells and to reconstruct hepatic tissues in vitro.
Current Researches
- Liver development
- Stem/progenitor cells involved in normal and pathophysiological conditions of livers
- Cell transplantation for the treatment of liver diseases
- Expansion of hepatocytes in vitro
