Targeting DNM1L/DRP1-FIS1 axis inhibits high-grade glioma progression by impeding mitochondrial respiratory cristae remodeling.

Background: The dynamics of mitochondrial respiratory cristae (MRC) and its impact on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) play a crucial role in driving the progression of high-grade glioma (HGG). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Methods: In the present study, we employed machine learning-based transmission electron microscopy analysis of 7141 mitochondria from 54 resected glioma patients.
