Research Abstract |
Mitochondrial morphology is dynamically controlled by a balance between fusion and fission. Here we show that, even cultured cells lacking the mitochondrial fission GTPase Drp1 are normal, Drp1-KO mice have developmental abnormalities, die after embryonic day 12.5. Neural cell-specific Drp1-KO mice die shortly after birth as a result of brain hypoplasia with apoptosis.
