Laboratory of Stem Cell and Metabolism

Welcome to the Yue Lab!

We are focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the fate choices of muscle and fat stem cells in normal and disease conditions, with the aim to identify strategies that improve skeletal muscle growth and adipose metabolism for benefiting both human health and agricultural animal productions.

  • Muscle Stem Cell and Niche
  • Lipid Droplets Determine Stem Cell Self-renewal and Differentiation
  • Asymmetric Stem Cell Division
  • Muscle Development (Embryonic 16 days)
  • Mitochondrial Remodeling in Brown Adipocyte
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Intramuscular Adipogenesis

Join us to make discovery in stem cell research!
