new signaling role of Pask in muscle stem cells

PASK meets mitochondria! Our study connecting mitochodrial metabolism with muscle stem cell fate via PASK is OUT! Check it out here! Go team!

Stem cell heterogeneity is progressively built in proliferating population by the action of mitochondrial glutamine metabolism that opposes the cell cycle-linked self-renewal network to generate differentiation-competent progenitors.elifesciences.org/articles/81717

Birth of Kikani Lab:

Fall 2019 Thomas Hunt Morgan Building - (Named after a pioneer in regenerative biology and Kentucky native!)

New lab construction:

Our lab is moving to a new location in the Summer of 2020 on the second floor of the THM Building. Lab space include main wet lab (~1400 sq ft) and adjacent tissue-culture, histology, live-cell confocal microscopy and radiation room (~2000 sq ft).
