Recent research has increasingly focused on mitochondrial dynamics, which includes the processes of fission (splitting) and fusion (joining) of mitochondria, and how these processes impact health ...

Scientists have known for decades that mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles. They go through fusion and fission events, in which individual mitochondria join together and then split apart ...

Mitochondrial fusion and fission, biogenesis, and mitophagy are processes that are crucial for functional recovery of neurons after injury; impairment of fusion and fission is implicated in ...

Japan The dynamin family of GTPases regulate mitochondrial fission and fusion processes and have been implicated in controlling the release of caspase activators from mitochondria during apoptosis.

Here’s where the story takes another surprising turn. Scientists have known for decades that mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles. They go through fusion and fission events, in which individual ...

the regulation of mitochondrial architecture (morphology and distribution), and connectivity mediated by tethering and fusion/fission events. Mitochondrial fusion is a two-step process, where the ...

(Amchenkova 1988) The morphology of mitochondria, regulated by a group of fusion and fission proteins, is responsive to changes in cardiomyocytes. (Ong 2010; Parra 2008) It appears that mitochondrial ...

This demonstrated that aging comes with a decrease in mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins, as seen in previous studies. These decreases would be expected to impair the structure and dynamics ...

Assessment of mitochondrial motility along axons and dendrites and evaluation of mitochondrial fission and fusion in vitro and in vivo helps scientists understand early molecular mechanisms of various ...
