Mitochondria continually change shape through the combined actions of fission, fusion, and
movement along cytoskeletal tracks. The lengths of mitochondria and the degree to which …

In healthy cells, mitochondria continually divide and fuse to form a dynamic interconnecting
network. The molecular machinery that mediates this organelle fission and fusion is …

Eukaryotic cells maintain the overall shape of their mitochondria by balancing the opposing
processes of mitochondrial fusion and fission. Unbalanced fission leads to mitochondrial …

Binary fission of many prokaryotes as well as some eukaryotic organelles depends on the
FtsZ protein, which self-assembles into a membrane-associated ring structure early in the …

The social amoeba or cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum is a “professional”
phagocyte that has long been recognized for its value as a biomedical model organism …

The mitochondria have arisen as a consequence of endosymbiosis of an ancestral α-
proteobacterium with a methane-producing archae. The main function of the canonical …

The recent development of cell biology techniques for bacteria to allow visualization of
fundamental processes in time and space, and their use in synchronous populations of cells …

Abstract LysoTracker and MitoTracker Red are fluorescent probes widely used for viable cell
staining of lysosomes and mitochondria, respectively. They are utilized to study organelle …

Higher plant mitochondria are dynamic, pleomorphic organelles. The higher plant
chondriome (all mitochondria in a cell collectively) is typically composed of numerous …
