Projects and project groups of the CRC 1218
Projects in research area A will examine how mitochondrial function adapts to changing physiological demands focussing on mitochondrial plasticity and the regulatory role of mitochondrial dynamics in preserving the functional integrity of mitochondria and the cell.
Work in research area B examines the role of mitochondrial signalling under various stress conditions and in disease.
Together, the planned experiments in the CRC will foster our understanding as to how mitochondria regulate cell function and therefore will provide new insight into the cell-type specificity of mitochondrial diseases.
