Biography and Research Interest
Our team is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the interrenal gland development. At the present stage, we are focused on the following issues: (1) How various signaling transduction pathways orchestrate to regulate specification and growth of the steroidogenic interrenal tissue; (2) how steroidogenic and chromaffin cell lineages develop and integrate into a functional interrenal organ; (3) how the blood vessel and its extracellular microenvironment direct morphogenetic movements of the interrenal steroidogenic cells.
