| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, advanced single-cell thermometry has detected temperature increase higher than 1 degree Celsius in living cells. However, the temperature increase is much larger than that calculated from heat production of single cells. To bridge the gap between the measurement and calculation, we developed microscopic systems combining optical thermometry and microheating, and obtained experimental data related to heat transfer, thermal properties, and temperature gradient in a single cell.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は多種多様なタンパク質や構造物が高密度に存在する細胞内環境において、「熱はどのように伝わるのか」、「どのくらいの温度勾配が形成されるのか」、を検証するための顕微解析システムを開発し、細胞内熱伝導の非線形性や熱伝導率の不均一性、細胞発熱時の局所温度勾配を評価したものであり、単一細胞レベルで起こる発熱と温度上昇をつなぐ物理学的研究基盤を構築したことに学術的意義がある。
