Regulation of mitochondrial dynamics in cardiomyocytes: implications for cardiac health and disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Mitochondrial dynamics, involving fission and fusion, are vital for maintaining mitochondrial quality, shape, and function in heart cells. This review explores how key regulators—Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusins 1 and 2 (Mfn1/2), and Optic ...

Functional interaction of Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 with members of the dynamin GTPase superfamily [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mutations in LRRK2 cause autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 encodes a multi-domain protein containing GTPase and kinase domains, and putative protein-protein interaction domains.

Mitochondrial fusion is required for spermatogonial differentiation and meiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Differentiating cells tailor their metabolism to fulfill their specialized functions. We examined whether mitochondrial fusion is important for metabolic tailoring during spermatogenesis.

Mitofusin 1 silencing decreases the senescent associated secretory phenotype, promotes immune cell recruitment and delays melanoma tumor growth after chemotherapy

open access: yesScientific Reports
Cellular senescence is a therapy endpoint in melanoma, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can affect tumor growth and microenvironment, influencing treatment outcomes. Metabolic interventions can modulate the SASP, and mitochondrial

Release of mitochondrial dsRNA into the cytosol is a key driver of the inflammatory phenotype of senescent cells

open access: yesNature Communications
The escape of mitochondrial double-stranded dsRNA (mt-dsRNA) into the cytosol has been recently linked to a number of inflammatory diseases. Here, we report that the release of mt-dsRNA into the cytosol is a general feature of senescent cells and a ...

GM2Calc: Precise MSSM prediction for $(g - 2)$ of the muon

open access: yes, 2015
We present GM2Calc, a public C++ program for the calculation of MSSM contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $(g-2)_\mu$. The code computes $(g-2)_\mu$ precisely, by taking into account the latest two-loop corrections and by ...

Cyclopiazonic acid suppresses the function of Leydig cells in prepubertal male rats by disrupting mitofusin 1-mediated mitochondrial function

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
This research investigated the impact of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a mycotoxin, on the function of progenitor Leydig cells (PLCs) in prepubertal male rats, focusing on its potential disruption of mitochondrial integrity through mitofusin 1 (MFN1 ...

Less than perfect divorces: dysregulated mitochondrial fission and neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Research efforts during the last decade have deciphered the basic molecular mechanisms governing mitochondrial fusion and fission. We now know that in mammalian cells mitochondrial fission is mediated by the large GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1 ...
