Modeling human hepato-biliary-pancreatic organogenesis from the foregut-midgut boundary

Nature, 2019

We established a human pluripotent stem cell-based model that reconstructs coordinated hepato-biliary-pancreatic organogenesis through interactions between distinct foregut-derived tissues.

Engineering human hepato-biliary-pancreatic organoids from pluripotent stem cells

Nature Protocols, 2021

We developed a reproducible protocol for generating multicellular hepato-biliary-pancreatic organoids from human pluripotent stem cells.

Macrophage subpopulation promotes skeletal muscle regeneration through HGF/MET signaling-mediated skeletal muscle stem cell proliferation

Aging Cell, 2025

We identified age-associated alterations in macrophage-mediated skeletal muscle regeneration and demonstrated a role for HGF/MET signaling in regulating muscle stem cell proliferation.
