Mitochondrial fusion is the physical merging of the outer and then the inner mitochondrial membranes of two originally distinct mitochondria. Mitochondrial division is the breaking apart of one ...

They found that, as new neurons mature, their mitochondria (the cells' power houses) along dendrites undergo a boost in ...

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 ...

However, if only one gene is knocked out, the other genes still regulate mitochondrial fusion, and mice show no signs of mitochondrial enlargement or dysfunction. The Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

In the first panel, two separate mitochondria are labeled green and red (indicated by arrows). Ten seconds later (see second panel), these two mitochondria have fused into one, as shown by the ...

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.

Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

Calcium transport into and out of mitochondria is central to cellular ... Garbincius, Ph.D., Dr. Elrod's team generated a fusion of NCLX and a biotinylation protein. The fusion protein was then ...
