Research Description

Mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the 球友(中国)qy and a key player in apoptosis and inflammation. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a driving force of aging and aging-related degenerative diseases. We exploit yeast, cultured 球友(中国)qy, and mouse models to uncover mechanisms surveying mitochondrial quality and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. We focus on the following questions: 1. mitochondrial quality control mechanisms, including protein quality control and mitophagy; 2. the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets for mitochondrial diseases; 3. the relationship between mitochondrial damage, chronic inflammation, and degenerative diseases.
