Enhanced mitochondrial fission suppresses signaling and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer

open access: yesBreast Cancer Research, 2020
Background Mitochondrial dynamics underlies malignant transformation, cancer progression, and response to treatment. Current research presents conflicting evidence for functions of mitochondrial fission and fusion in tumor progression.

TRAP1 controls mitochondrial fusion/fission balance through Drp1 and Mff expression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that change in response to extracellular stimuli. These changes are essential for normal mitochondrial/cellular function and are controlled by a tight balance between two antagonistic pathways that promote fusion and ...

Disruption of fusion results in mitochondrial heterogeneity and dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Mitochondria undergo continual cycles of fusion and fission, and the balance of these opposing processes regulates mitochondrial morphology. Paradoxically, cells invest many resources to maintain tubular mitochondrial morphology, when reducing both ...

An ER phospholipid hydrolase drives ER-associated mitochondrial constriction for fission and fusion

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo cycles of fission and fusion at a unified platform defined by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contact sites (MCSs). These MCSs or nodes co-localize fission and fusion machinery. We set out

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.

Titration of mitochondrial fusion rescues Mff-deficient cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Defects in mitochondrial fusion or fission are associated with many pathologies, raising the hope that pharmacological manipulation of mitochondrial dynamics may have therapeutic benefit.

Integrating multiple aspects of mitochondrial dynamics in neurons: Age-related differences and dynamic changes in a chronic rotenone model

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2011
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 ...

New therapeutic directions in type II diabetes and its complications: mitochondrial dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
As important organelles of energetic and metabolism, changes in the dynamic state of mitochondria affect the homeostasis of cellular metabolism. Mitochondrial dynamics include mitochondrial fusion and mitochondrial fission.

Quantitation of mitochondrial dynamics by photolabeling of individual organelles shows that mitochondrial fusion is blocked during the Bax activation phase of apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A dynamic balance of organelle fusion and fission regulates mitochondrial morphology. During apoptosis this balance is altered, leading to an extensive fragmentation of the mitochondria.

Mitochondrial fission/fusion and cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016
Mitochondria are highly abundant in and essential to the beat-to-beat contractile performance of hearts. However, relatively few cardiac diseases have been attributed to primary mitochondrial dysfunction. The paucity of evidence for 'primary mitochondrial cardiac diseases' may be because such an entity does not exist.
