In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

Mitochondrial fusion is the physical merging of the outer and then the inner mitochondrial membranes of two originally distinct mitochondria. Mitochondrial division is the breaking apart of one ...

Japan The dynamin family of GTPases regulate mitochondrial fission and fusion processes and have been implicated in controlling the release of caspase activators from mitochondria during apoptosis.

Fusion and fission dynamics of switchable photoresponsive colloids. Collective effects in the dynamics of new catalytic particles described in the Nature Communications paper. Arrows depict the ...

Mitochondria exist in networks that alternate between “fused” and “fragmented” states, which affect how the organelles process energy. This dynamic fission and fusion ... Jef Akst was managing editor ...

Until recently, only proteins involved in fission (mitochondrial division) had been identified in this parasite. The proteins responsible for fusion, present in humans or yeast (such as Mfn or Opa1), ...

Energy obtained from fusion and fission reactions is based on differences in the nuclear binding energy. The mass of the products of a fusion reaction is smaller than the mass of its reactants. The ...
