Research Themes
Molecular mechanisms regulating catch-up growth
Most animals retard growth in response to adverse conditions; however, upon the removal of unfavorable factors, they often show quick growth restoration, which is known as “catch-up” growth. Albeit the catch-up growth is essential for the accidentally stunted wild animal to regain its size to resume competition with non-stunted one, the molecular mechanism of this unique growth spurt remains mostly unknown. In this project, by using the zebrafish model, we want to know when, where, and how the growth signal changes to facilitate the catch-up phenomenon.
Effects of anomalistic growth pattern on multipotent cell development
We know that severe embryonic growth retardation and subsequent catch-up growth often associates with adult-onset disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and mental retardation. Though the changes that occurred during such an anomalistic growth pattern seem to be a key for deciphering the future pathogenesis of stunted animals, the cellular basis of the phenomenon remains elusive. We tackle this issue by exploring the changes of the multipotent cell development, such as the fate-determination process of neural crest cells and mesenchymal stem cells, using zebrafish models of embryonic growth retardation and catch-up growth.
