Mitochondria are dynamic organelles able to vary their morphology between elongated
interconnected mitochondrial networks and fragmented disconnected arrays, through events
of mitochondrial fusion and fission, respectively. These events allow the transmission of
signaling messengers and exchange of metabolites within the cell. They have also been
implicated in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development,
metabolism, apoptosis, and autophagy. Although the majority of these studies have been …
