<i>Drp1</i> Is Dispensable for Mitochondria Biogenesis in Induction to Pluripotency but Required for Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells
17 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mature mitochondria with high oxidative phosphorylation undergo fission and fusion and morphogenesis to become immature mitochondria during induced pluripotent stem (iPS) induction from somatic cells. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is involved in mitochondria fission and biogenesis in somatic cells. We tested the role of Drp1 in the induction and maintenance of pluripotency. We show that Drp1 band shift occurs...
