Background: Mitochondria are remarkably dynamic organelles encapsulated by bilayer membranes. The dynamic properties of mitochondria are critical for energy production.

Aims: The aim of our study is to investigate the global status and trends of mitochondrial dynamics research and predict popular topics and directions in the field.

Methods: Publications related to the studies of mitochondrial dynamics from 2002 to 2021 were retrieved from Web of Science database. A total of 4,576 publications were included. Bibliometric analysis was conducted by visualization of similarities viewer and GraphPadPrism 5 software.

Results: There is an increasing trend of mitochondrial dynamics research during the last 20 years. The cumulative number of publications about mitochondrial dynamics research followed the logistic growth model [Formula: see text]. The USA made the highest contributions to the global research. The journal Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Molecular Cell Research had the largest publication numbers. Case Western Reserve University is the most contributive institution. The main research orientation and funding agency were cell biology and HHS. All keywords related studies could be divided into three clusters: "Related disease research", "Mechanism research" and "Cell metabolism research".

Conclusions: Attention should be drawn to the latest popular research and more efforts will be put into mechanistic research, which may inspire new clinical treatments for the associated diseases.

Introduction: With the increasing prevalence of hypertension, the incidence of kidney diseases is also increasing, resulting in a serious public burden. Jiangya Tongluo decoction (JYTL), a recognized prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is commonly used to calm an overactive liver and reduce excess yang, while also promoting blood flow to alleviate obstructions in the meridians. Previous research has indicated that JYTL may help mitigate kidney damage caused by hypertension; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been thoroughly assessed.

Biocontrol techniques that impair reproductive capacity of insect pests provide opportunities to control the dynamics of their populations while minimizing collateral damage to non-target species and the environment. The Trojan Female Technique, or TFT, is a method of the trans-generational fertility-based population control through the release of females that carry mitochondrial DNA mutations that negatively affect male, but not female, reproductive output. TFT is based on the evolutionary hypothesis that, due to maternal inheritance of mitochondria, mutations which are beneficial or neutral in females but harmful in males can accumulate in the mitochondrial genome without selection acting against them.

Aims: Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and mitochondrial dysfunction are two important mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of obesity, which can be reversed by aerobic exercise to improve organ function. Mitofusion 2 (Mfn2), a mitochondrial membrane protein, affects both mitochondrial dynamics and ER morphology. This study explored the contribution of hypothalamic Mfn2 to exercise-induced improvements in energy homeostasis and peripheral metabolism and the underlying mechanisms involved.

Backgroud: Recent studies have reported mitochondrial damage and metabolic dysregulation in BPD, but the changes in mitochondrial dynamics and glucose metabolic reprogramming in ATII cells and their regulatory relationship have not been reported.

Methods: Neonatal rats in this study were divided into model (FIO2:85%) and control (FIO2: 21%) groups. Lung tissues were extracted at 3, 7, 10 and 14 postnatal days and then conducted HE staining for histopathological observation.

Institute of Life Sciences & Biomedicine Collaborative Innovation Center of Zhejiang province, College of Life and Environmental Science, Wenzhou University, Wenzhou 325035, China. Electronic address:

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a pervasive environmental and industrial pollutant that poses a substantial threat to human health. Even short-term exposure to HS can result in severe respiratory and neurological damage. However, the underlying mechanisms of its biotoxicity remain unclear.
