Inhibition of mitochondrial dynamics in Dictyostelium discoideum through the overexpression of FszA and FszB proteins

Mitochondria play a central role in cells through energy production, calcium regulation, and cell death regulation. Dysfunction of mitochondria can impair energy production causing cellular damage which could be detrimental to an organism. Mitochondrial dynamics such as fission, fusion, and motility determine the organ...
