Stem cells possess the remarkable capacity to renew various tissue types during normal growth, while their malfunction is linked to aging and cancer. Our researchers investigate their biological mechanisms concerning development, aging, and malignancies. Additionally, we employ them as instruments to create tissues for Regenerative Medicine purposes, aiming to address human injuries and degenerative conditions. Recent breakthroughs in reprogramming techniques to produce induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) now allow tailored stem cell creation from virtually any cell source, significantly broadening this field's potential and influence.
