Mitochondria are one of the intracellular organelles that play a central
role in intracellular energy production, generation of reactive oxygen
species, and cell death. We hope to contribute to human health by investigating
and regulating its mechanism.

Student and teacher from Kashima Gakuen High School visited our laboratory.
After introducing our research, they attempted an experiment to isolate
mitochondria from cells using a new method (iMIT).
Although it was their first time, they were able to obtain a mitochondrial
suspension with high activity (approximately 85% of the mitochondria possessed
a membrane potential).
