报告简介:
We are interested in the development of the vertebrate musculo-skeletal axis. Using chicken and mouse embryos as model systems, we combine developmental biology and genomic approaches to study patterning and differentiation of the precursors of muscles and vertebrae. While most of this work has been carried out in vivo, we are now developing protocols to recapitulate these early developmental processes in vitro using mouse and human embryonic or reprogrammed stem cells. We are also turning to translational approaches, using our understanding of the early development to produce cells of the muscle and vertebral lineages in vitro from pluripotent cells to study human diseases of the musculo-skeletal axis and for cell therapy approaches.
我们以鸡和小鼠胚胎作为模型,通过发育生物学和基因组方法来研究肌肉和椎骨前体的组织和分化。开发使用小鼠和人胚胎或重编程干细胞技术,在体外重现这些早期发育过程。利用我们对早期发育的理解,从多能干细胞体外产生肌肉和脊椎谱系细胞,研究开发肌肉-骨骼相关人类疾病和细胞治疗方法。
