Changes in dynamic properties of mitochondria are increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD). Static changes in mitochondrial morphology, often under acutely toxic conditions, are commonly utilized as ...

Mitochondrial fusion protein: a new therapeutic target for lung injury diseases
Mitochondria are essential organelles responsible for cellular energy supply. The maintenance of mitochondrial structure and function relies heavily on quality control systems, including biogenesis, fission, and fusion. Mitochondrial fusion refers to the

Hypobaric Hypoxia Imbalances Mitochondrial Dynamics in Rat Brain Hippocampus
Brain is predominantly susceptible to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction during hypobaric hypoxia, and therefore undergoes neurodegeneration due to energy crisis.

Role of mitochondrial fusion in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity [PDF]
Adriamycin is a widely used anti-tumor drug. Targeting mitochondrial fusion proteins/mitofusion 1/2(MFN1/2) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2) can up-regulate the expression of mitochondrial fusion protein through PKCε/Stat3/MFN2 ...

Parkinson phenotype in aged PINK1-deficient mice is accompanied by progressive mitochondrial dysfunction in absence of neurodegeneration [PDF]
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is an adult-onset movement disorder of largely unknown etiology. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations of the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) cause the recessive ...

Mitofusin-Mediated Mitochondrial Fusion Inhibits Pseudorabies Virus Infection in Porcine Cells
Background: Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that undergo fusion/fission dynamics, and emerging evidence has established that mitochondrial dynamics plays a crucial regulatory role in the process of viral infection.

The Imbalance of Mitochondrial Fusion/Fission Drives High-Glucose-Induced Vascular Injury
Emerging evidence shows that mitochondria fusion/fission imbalance is related to the occurrence of hyperglycemia-induced vascular injury. To study the temporal dynamics of mitochondrial fusion and fission, we observed the alteration of mitochondrial ...

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.
