2025.06.10-14 | Our lab joined ISSCR 2025 in Hong Kong!
From Jeju to Hong Kong ๐ซ๐
Earlier this month, our team attended the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Annual Meeting 2025, held in the vibrant city of Hong Kong.
It was an incredible opportunity to explore cutting-edge stem cell research, connect with international scientists, and share our work with the global community.
Thank you ISSCR for such an inspiring experience!
2025.05.20-23 | CA lab actively participate to the FAOBMB 2025 conference held in Busan!ย
Our member Lee Tae Baek presented his poster entitled "Estrogenic Effects of Beta vulgaris, Artemisia princeps, and Eleutherococcus senticosus Extracts Ameliorate Menopausal Symptoms in MCF-7 Cells and OVX Mice". The work has been well received and will soon be published!
Our member Tonini Lisa presented her poster entitled "Therapeutic rescue of Cholera-Induced damage to intestinal stem cells and barrier integrity in intestinal organoids", and was selected for the prestigious Young Scientist Program (YSP) 2025!
Weโre proud of our membersโ contributions to advancing biomedical research!
2025.05.02 | Conference season is here!
Our lab members are getting ready to share their work with the scientific community โ personalized name tags are printed and packed!
Looking forward to exciting discussions and new connections this season!
๐ 2025.05.19 | New publication alert!
We are excited to announce that Tonini Lisa has just published a review article in the journal Stem Cell Reviews and Reports.
๐ Title:
"Latest Advanced Techniques for Improving Intestinal Organoid Limitations"
This comprehensive review highlights recent technological advancements addressing the current limitations of intestinal organoids, including approaches for enhancing cellular diversity, structural maturation, and functional relevance for disease modeling and regenerative medicine applications.

๐ 2024.08.30 | New publication alert!
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new research article from our lab in the Journal of Biomedical Translational Research.
๐ Authored by our talented Master's student, Eunju Jang, the paper is entitled:
๐ "Comparative analysis of bisphenol A effects on HT-29 cell line and mouse intestinal organoids"
This study provides a valuable comparative perspective on the toxicological impact of bisphenol A using both traditional 2D cell culture and 3D organoid models, offering insights into more physiologically relevant testing systems.
