In vivo regulation of mitosis in stem cells
FY 2010-11
Summary
Stem cells are the basis of life. As an embryo, stem cells develop into the multitude of diverse tissues in the body. In adults, stem cells are critical for maintaining the body; for instance the red blood cells in your body (about 4% of your body mass) now will be 100% different in about a month. On the other hand, misregulation of stem cell divisions leads to cancer. In this proposal, we will work to understand the fundamental properties of stem cell divisions in a living organism. Our well will identify new pathways to regulate stem cell proliferation as well as means to stop cancer stem cell divisions.

Abstract
Stem cells are the basis of life. As an embryo, stem cells develop into the multitude of diverse tissues in the body. In adults, stem cells are critical for maintaining the body; for instance the red blood cells in your body (about 4% of your body mass) now will be 100% different in about a month. On the other hand, misregulation of stem cell divisions leads to cancer. In this proposal, we will work to understand the fundamental properties of stem cell divisions in a living organism. Our well will identify new pathways to regulate stem cell proliferation as well as means to stop cancer stem cell divisions.
