image: Mitochondria of control U2OS cell (top left and bottom right) and U2OS cell knocked-down for INF2 (top right and bottom left). Mitochondria in INF2-KD cell are much longer than in control cell, showing INF2’s role in mitochondrial fission. This image relates to a paper that appeared in Jan. 25, 2013, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Farida Korobova at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH, and colleagues was titled, “An Actin-Dependent Step in Mitochondrial Fission Mediated by the ER-Associated Formin INF2.” view more
