Research Expertise
The gastrointestinal epithelium is the fastest renewing tissue in an adult mammal and maintained by tissue specific stem cells. Cell-intrinsic programs and environmental cues regulate intestinal homeostasis and regeneration following injury via coordinated actions of stem cell activation, proliferation, lineage specification to perform highly specialized and vital functions such absorption, secretion and barrier against non-self. Mounting evidence indicates that intestinal stem cell (ISC) dysfunction plays a key role in GI pathology ranging from inflammation, cancer to aging-associated diseases. Research in Yu lab elucidates cancer driver-dependent regulation of stress and cell death mechanisms, with the long term goal to identify druggable targets and novel agents to combat GI pathology, including selective protection of normal intestinal stem cells and killing of cancer cells. Approaches employed include molecular and cell biology, mouse models, 3D primary intestinal cultures, drug discovery and clinical samples.
