Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The mitochondria are involved in active and dynamic processes, such as mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion and mitophagy to maintain mitochondrial and cellular functions.

Mitochondrial capacities and quality control following short‐ and long‐term weight restoration after simulated anorexia nervosa

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by prolonged caloric restriction and skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial health is a key mediator of muscle function, yet the role of mitochondria during AN and following weight regain has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial capacities

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Correlation between polymorphisms in the MFN1 gene and myopia in Chinese population.

open access: yesInternational journal of ophthalmology, 2015
To explore whether genetic variations in the MFN1 gene are associated with low to moderate myopia in Chinese population.The case-control association analysis was used. The study included 100 independent myopia patients (-0.75 D ≤ spherical refraction ≤-8.00 D) and 100 sex-matched healthy controls (with binocular spherical equivalent ranges between -0 ...

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

Loss of Mfn2 results in progressive, retrograde degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal circuit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mitochondria continually undergo fusion and fission, and these dynamic processes play a major role in regulating mitochondrial function. Studies of several genes associated with familial Parkinson's disease (PD) have implicated aberrant mitochondrial ...

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...
