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 ...

Interestingly, CED-3 can cleave DRP-1, which appears to be important for DRP-1's proapoptotic function, but not its mitochondria fission function. Our findings demonstrate that mitochondria dynamics ...

Scientists have known for decades that mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles. They go through fusion and fission events, ...
