Mitochondrial dynamism and heart disease: Changing shape and shaping change [PDF]
Mitochondria of adult cardiomyocytes appear hypo-dynamic, lacking interconnected reticular networks and the continual fission and fusion observed in many other cell types.

Direct Small Molecule Activation of Mitofusins [PDF]
SummaryMitochondrial fusion is a physiological process that is regulated by mitofusins on the outer mitochondrial membrane. Conformational plasticity between anti- and pro-tethering conformations of mitofusins permits mitochondrial tethering and subsequent fusion. Here we developed a pharmacophore-based model to rationally manipulate the conformational

Hypoxia Signaling Pathway in Stem Cell Regulation: Good and Evil [PDF]
Purpose of Review: This review summarizes the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in the regulation of stem cell biology, specifically focusing on maintenance, differentiation, and stress responses in the context of several stem cell ...

Mechanical Force Promotes Mitochondrial Transfer From Macrophages to BMSCs to Enhance Bone Formation
Mechanical tension activates Drp1‐mediated mitochondrial fission in macrophages, facilitating the release of Mito‐EVs that are subsequently transferred to BMSCs. Additionally, the CD200R‐CD200 interaction enhances the uptake of these mechanically stimulated macrophage‐derived Mito‐EVs by BMSCs, ultimately promoting osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract Aims Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has emerged as a promising metabolic regulator with hepatoprotective properties in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Mitochondrial dynamics and inheritance during cell division, development and disease [PDF]
During cell division, it is critical to properly partition functional sets of organelles to each daughter cell. The partitioning of mitochondria shares some common features with that of other organelles, particularly in the use of interactions with ...

Effect of mitofusin 1 and mitofusin 2 deficiency on electrophysiology parameter following stimulated ischemia reperfusion [PDF]
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the arrhythmias which often follow are among the leading causes of death and disability in Singapore and worldwide. As such novel treatments are required to prevent cardiac arrhythmias following AMI. In an AMI, acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion can disturb the electrical conduction system of the

Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Mitochondrial dynamics and quality control in Huntington's disease [PDF]
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by polyglutamine expansion mutations in the huntingtin protein. Despite its ubiquitous distribution, expression of mutant huntingtin (mHtt) is particularly detrimental to medium ...
