Novel View of Mitochondrial Fission

Audience: Researchers | Purpose: Journal Figure

This illustration presents a groundbreaking model of mitochondrial fission based on recent NIH research. It highlights the coordinated process involving the endoplasmic reticulum, tethering factors, INF2, Spire1, and actin polymerization, which work together to form a compression ring around the mitochondria, facilitating fission.
