Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of intracellular substances and nuclear information sharing of skeletal muscle fibers (multinuclear cells). This study clarified the existence of an active transport system to keep the intracellular level of glucose constant, and the existence of a mechanism to homogenize specific protein expression in the cell. As future research, it is necessary to elucidate the system that controls the mechanism by which skeletal muscle fibers retain uniform traits.
