Kursad Turksen

Dr. Turksen is a stem cell biologist who trained in the labs of Jane Aubin [PhD, U. of Toronto, Osteoblast Lineage] and Elaine Fuchs [Postdoc, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, U. of Chicago, Epidermal Lineage]. He was a Senior Scientist in the Regenerative Medicine Program at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. He and his group worked on the epidermal lineage, the identity and commitment of interfollicular epidermal stem cells, and Claudins' role in epidermal lineages. Dr. Turksen has retired from active research but continues to be very active in various editorial roles, including as an Editor-in-Chief of journals, most recently Tissue Barriers, and multiple book series. In this latter capacity, he has edited more than 100 volumes for SpringerNature. In addition, he has organized five international stem cell meetings since 2012.

Collection Overview

To put it simply, an organoid is a miniaturized in vitro model that phenocopies/mimics the structure and function of an organ in vivo. This simple definition belies the exquisite power that such in vitro model systems contribute to studying many aspects of the development and diseases of different organs in the body. Their utility and power have driven what can fairly be characterized as an explosive use of organoids for analyses of growth and development, disease simulation, drug screening, and other potential therapeutic approaches. To obtain necessary information, such as details of morphological structures and the dynamics of cell function and signals, it is essential to monitor organoid dynamics and cellular-subcellular responses directly and in real-time. Among different detection approaches, innovative imaging technologies support organoids' direct and quantitative observation. This Methods Collection aims to gather protocols by experts in such imaging approaches, specifically applied to stem cell biology, stem cell commitment, and lineage progression in tissue and organ regeneration.
