Aiguo Tian, Aau - Biochemistry
Stem cells play pivotal roles in maintaining tissue and organ homeostasis in adults, particularly for effective tissue repair post-injury. In the intestine, the expansion of the intestinal stem cell (ISC) pool involves both the symmetric division of resident ISCs and the regeneration of ISCs from terminally committed cells through dedifferentiation. We aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing ISC regeneration in response to physiological challenges, utilizing a Drosophila intestine model. You will receive training in Drosophila genetics, molecular biology and cell biology. You will help the PI and lab manager to perform the experiments.
