Autophagy in ischemic aged livers
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably occurs during liver resection and transplantation. Elderly patients poorly recover from these surgeries.

Abstract figure legend Beat‐locked mitochondrial ATP transients reveal modular, sex‐specific bioenergetic control during excitation–contraction coupling. A, each action potential activates L‐type CaV1.2 channels, producing a Ca2+ influx that triggers ryanodine receptors (RyR2) and elicits SR Ca2+ release.

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

Aging of Skeletal Muscle: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions
Skeletal muscle aging is driven by coordinated local breakdown across myofibers, stem and stromal cells, immune and vascular compartments, and neuromuscular control. These mechanisms promote mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, senescence, impaired regeneration, fibrosis, myosteatosis, denervation, and functional decline.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A is an autosomal dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy caused by mutations in the mitofusin 2 gene. Mitofusin 2 encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion in ...

Loss of Mfn1 but not Mfn2 enhances adipogenesis.
ObjectiveA biallelic missense mutation in mitofusin 2 (MFN2) causes multiple symmetric lipomatosis and partial lipodystrophy, implicating disruption of mitochondrial fusion or interaction with other organelles in adipocyte differentiation, growth and/or ...

Mitochondrial fission‐fusion imbalance contributes to age‐related cardio‐cerebral diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Cerebral Infarction, Arteriosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac valve disease, Hypertension, and Cardiomyopathy. This review summarizes its regulatory mechanisms and interventions.

Mitofusin Disease Variant Provides Insight into Mitochondrial Tethering and Fusion
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2021Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that produce the energy we need to move, grow, and think. Every cell, from muscles in the heart to neurons in the brain, has a unique and ever-changing requirement for ...

ABSTRACT Aim Repeated heat exposure may promote adaptive remodeling or cumulative tissue burden depending on thermal dose, but its graded molecular and functional consequences during recovery remain unclear. We examined whether repeated moderate (39°C) and severe (41°C) whole‐body hyperthermia produce distinct skeletal muscle trajectories involving ...
