DRP-1-mediated apoptosis induces muscle degeneration in dystrophin mutants
Abstract Mitochondria are double-membrane subcellular organelles with highly conserved metabolic functions including ATP production. Mitochondria shapes change continually through the combined actions of fission and fusion events rendering mitochondrial network very dynamic. Mitochondria are largely...
