Research Summary
Our laboratory investigates the role of hormones in hematopoietic development and the maintenance of hematopoietic homeostasis. We focus particularly on thyroid hormones and hematopoietic cytokines, aiming to understand how these hormones regulate hematopoietic cells and related organs to support development and homeostasis. Using Xenopus tropicalis as a model organism, we take a comparative biological approach to address questions that have been challenging to resolve with traditional models. By achieving a comprehensive understanding of hormone-regulated hematopoietic systems, we seek to contribute to advancements in biology and medicine.
