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 ...

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.

Central to the discussion is the concept of mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission balance) and mitophagy. The review presents evidence linking aberrations in ...

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 ...

What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both are nuclear processes, in that they involve nuclear forces to change the nucleus of atoms. Chemical processes on the other hand ...
