Mitochondria are commonly found as extended reticular webs whose overall morphology depends on frequent fission and fusion of mitochondrial tubules. These processes require distinct GTP-binding ...

The elongated, branched networks of mitochondria in cells continually undergo fission and fusion 8. Balancing these opposing events is essential for cellular health, and mutations that affect ...

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.

In their review, published in npj Viruses, the authors highlighted key mechanisms used by flaviviruses to evade host immune responses, such as the manipulation of mitochondrial fission and fusion ...

The study reveals that these stress-responsive systems control mitochondrial fusion under normal physiological conditions. Loss of both proteins leads to severe mitochondrial abnormalities ...

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 ...

Inhibition of the fission machinery leads to an elongated mitochondrial network within the cell. Conversely, inhibition of fusion results in small, fragmented organelles. Therefore, a delicate balance ...
