Research progress of effects of mitochondrial dynamics on energy metabolism-related diseases

Mitochondria, as the main energy supply organelles in the body, maintain balance mainly through mitochondrial dynamics—fusion and division process and mitochondrial autophagy. The accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria will lead to cell apoptosis and damage of tissues and organs with high demand for energy metabolism. This review focuses on mitochondrial dynamics and its impact on clinically common energy metabolism-related diseases.
