| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I aimed to reveal the role of morphological changes of mitochondria in maintenance for physiological functions. From our recent research, we found that mitochondrial membranes and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) worked in part cooperatively. Therefore, in order to clarify the mechanistic insight between mitochondrial membrane and mtDNA dynamics, I performed several screening. Some factors could be identified in this screening, and the regulator of cellular function through the change of dynamics of mitochondrial membrane and mtDNA might be revealed at the molecular level.
