PGC-1α controls mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics in lead-induced neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2015
Due to its role in regulation of mitochondrial function, PGC1α is emerging as an important player in ageing and neurodegenerative disorders. PGC1α exerts its neuroprotective effects by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis (MB) and functioning. However, the

FGF21‐Mediated Upregulation of SIRT1 Delays Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Promoting PINK1/Parkin Dependent Mitophagy Through Deacetylation of FOXO3

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2026.
FGF21 upregulates SIRT1 to promote the deacetylation of FOXO3 at sites K241, K258, K289, and K568, thereby activating PINK1/Parkin‐dependent mitophagy, suppressing nucleus pulposus cell senescence, and delaying intervertebral disc degeneration. ABSTRACT Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD) is a common degenerative spinal disease and a leading cause ...

Mitofusin-mediated contacts between mitochondria and peroxisomes regulate mitochondrial fusion.

PLoS Biology
Mitofusins are large GTPases that trigger fusion of mitochondrial outer membranes. Similarly to the human mitofusin Mfn2, which also tethers mitochondria to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the yeast mitofusin Fzo1 stimulates contacts between Peroxisomes ...

Regulation of Mitochondrial Metabolism by Mfn1 Gene Encoding Mitofusin Affects Cellular Proliferation and Histone Modification

Cells
Mitochondria maintain cellular homeostasis through the dynamic balance of fusion and fission, which relies on nuclear-encoded mitochondrial fusion proteins, mitofusins 1 and 2 (Mfn1, Mfn2).

Mitochondrial fission regulates germ cell differentiation by suppressing ROS-mediated activation of Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in the Drosophila larval testis. [PDF]

, 2019
Mitochondria are essential organelles that have recently emerged as hubs for several metabolic and signaling pathways in the cell. Mitochondrial morphology is regulated by constant fusion and fission events to maintain a functional mitochondrial network ...

Overcoming the roadblocks to cardiac cell therapy using tissue engineering [PDF]

, 2017
Transplantations of various stem cells or their progeny have repeatedly improved cardiac performance in animal models of myocardial injury; however, the benefits observed in clinical trials have been generally less consistent.

Chloroplast Stress Signals Orchestrate Epidermis‐Specific Remodeling of Mitochondria and ER Under High Light

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
High light exposure triggers an epidermis‐specific remodeling of mitochondria and ER in Arabidopsis, driven by chloroplast‐derived signals. Live‐cell imaging shows that HL rapidly suppresses mitochondrial motility, followed by fusion‐driven elongation and ER cisternal expansion.

DISC1-dependent Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics Controls the Morphogenesis of Complex Neuronal Dendrites [PDF]

, 2016
The DISC1 protein is implicated in major mental illnesses including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and autism. Aberrant mitochondrial dynamics are also associated with major mental illness.

Targeting Microglial CD49a Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Demonstrates Therapeutic Potential for Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study shows that integrin receptor CD49a (Itga1 gene) is significantly upregulated in hyperactivated microglia and microglia‐specific knockdown of Itga1 rescues neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a chronic Parkinson's disease (PD) model by targeting PGAM5‐mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and NLRP3 activation. Targeted inhibition of CD49a

C-Phycocyanin Ameliorates Mitochondrial Fission and Fusion Dynamics in Ischemic Cardiomyocyte Damage

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a predominant risk factor in ischemic heart disease, in which the imbalance of mitochondrial fusion and fission deteriorates mitochondrial function and might lead to cardiomyocyte death.
