One of our lab's primary interests is developing and regenerating the skeletal muscles. Specifically, we investigate the molecular signaling that regulates the stem cells responsible for forming muscles during development and repairing muscles after injury.

We are interested in understanding the molecular regulation of stem cell fate determination and how deregulation of stem cell homeostasis leads to degenerative and chronic diseases; and exploring strategies to target stem cells to treat diseases such as muscular dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer.

Thích Quảng Đức (chữ Hán: 釋 廣 德, Vietnamese: [tʰǐk̟ kʷâːŋ ɗɨ̌k] ⓘ; born Lâm Văn Túc; c. 1897 – 11 June 1963) was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who died by self-immolation at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. [2] .

2024年5月30日 · Shihuan Kuang, PhD, has joined the Duke Orthopaedic Surgery research division as an instructor of orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Dr. Kuang earned his PhD at the University of Alberta and completed his post-doc studies at Washington University in St Louis.

Recent single cell RNA-seq studies in the lab has led to the discovery of a subset of satellite cells with immune cell properties (PMID: 32248062; News Release). Ongoing studies aim to dissect the origin and function of these immunomyoblasts (i.e. immune gene-expressing myoblasts).
