Mitochondrial fusion is required for regulation of mitochondrial DNA replication.
Mitochondrial dynamics is an essential physiological process controlling mitochondrial content mixing and mobility to ensure proper function and localization of mitochondria at intracellular sites of high-energy demand.

Mitochondrial Fusion Proteins and Human Diseases [PDF]
Mitochondria are highly dynamic, complex organelles that continuously alter their shape, ranging between two opposite processes, fission and fusion, in response to several stimuli and the metabolic demands of the cell.

Mitochondrial fusion, fission, and mitochondrial toxicity [PDF]
Mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by two sets of opposed processes: mitochondrial fusion and fission, and mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation (including mitophagy), as well as processes such as intracellular transport. These processes maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, regulate mitochondrial form, volume and function, and are increasingly ...

Mitochondrial fission and fusion [PDF]
Mitochondria are highly dynamic cellular organelles, with the ability to change size, shape and position over the course of a few seconds. Many of these changes are related to the ability of mitochondria to undergo the highly co-ordinated processes of fission (division of a single organelle into two or more independent structures) or fusion (the ...

Fusion activators enhance mitochondrial function
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that regulate cycles of fusion and fusion to tune their energy output and to respond to cellular damage.1Under homeostatic conditions,mitochondrial fusionand fission are kept in balance to maintain proper mitochondrial morphology and function.

Mitochondrial dynamics: quantifying mitochondrial fusion in vitro [PDF]
Mitochondrial fusion is an essential process for preserving the integrity and stability of mitochondrial DNA; however, regulation of this process remains largely mysterious. In this issue of BMC Biology, Schauss and colleagues describe a simple, reliable, and robust novel assay that allows fusion of mammalian mitochondria to be quantified in vitro.

Mitochondrial Fission, Fusion, and Stress [PDF]
Mitochondrial Dynamics Mitochondria—the powerhouses of the cell—are autonomous organelles with their own genomes. Within cells, mitochondria are remarkably dynamic, continually moving around the cytoplasm and undergoing fusion and fission reactions. Youle and van der Bliek (p. 1062 )

What is the function of mitochondrial networks? A theoretical assessment of hypotheses and proposal for future research [PDF]
Mitochondria can change their shape from discrete isolated organelles to a large continuous reticulum. The cellular advantages underlying these fused networks are still incompletely understood.

MTCH2 cooperates with MFN2 and lysophosphatidic acid synthesis to sustain mitochondrial fusion
Fusion of the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) is regulated by mitofusin 1 (MFN1) and 2 (MFN2), yet the differential contribution of each of these proteins is less understood.

Mitochondrial fusion is essential to mitochondrial fitness and cellular health. Neurons of patients with genetic neurodegenerative diseases often exhibit mitochondrial fragmentation, reflecting an imbalance in mitochondrial fusion and fission ...
