Fusion or Fission: The Destiny of Mitochondria In Traumatic Brain Injury of Different Severities
Abstract Mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by a complex system of proteins representing the mitochondrial quality control (MQC). MQC balances antagonistic forces of fusion and fission determining mitochondrial and cell fates. In several neurological disorders, dysfunctional mitochondria show sign...
